a candidate to fill the vacancy in Congress
occasioned by the resignation of Col. Frice.
We are pleased to inform our friends ia
the country, who visit this place, that they
can now be supplied by our merchants with
all the necessary articles for fall and winter
use. We have noticed, by late arrivals,
the receipt of several heavy supplies Of
Goods, among which we took special no
tice of avery fine and we'll selected as
sortment of Goods received by our friends,
Afessrs. H. E. Block e. ca. By reference
to their advertisement in another column,
it will be seen that they pledge themselves
to Sell goods upon as favorable terms as
any house tbs side Of st. Louis. We have
been in their store, examined and priced
their goods, and therefore do not hesitate
in cheerfully recommending them to those
wishing to purchase. Our little friend,
H. f. Block, is always Oh hand, ready
and willing to show goods; he takes de-
light in showing goods, whether he trades
with a customer or not. Husbands be 'very
CAREFUL and don't give vour wives much
money when you know they are going to
lille Blocks Store; because the richness
of his Ladies' Apparel will induce them
to lay out all thei. dimes, and go on tick a.
little besides. But give him a call, and
judge for yourselves.
The Missouri Annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, con-
vened ia Hannibal on Wednesday the Seth
ult. Bishop PAYNE, upon taking the chair,
made a very appropriate address to the
Conference.
]. H. LINN, was elected Secretary, and
WIN. NJ. RrsH, Assistant Secretary.
The Hannibal Journal says that the
members Of the Conference are generally
in attendance.
Mn. EDrToR: In 'Putting up to The Board
a "cisPassionate' prayer, l did not think to
give Citizen another hiss; for notwith-
standing said he was all wind, | thought
it best to give the oil horse a Little leisure.
But see that he is disposed 10 take fright
at any and every thing. l can't address a
prayer to the Board, but Citizen must take
1t up. He acts in this as if he thought he
was the Board, for which l sincerely thank
him., as have him now exactly where ]
wanted him.
Citizen Tor the Board) reminds me of
an old ddrkey | once knew; he would steal
every thing he could lay his hands on, and
when taken up, he always excused himself
by telling of such and such WHITE MEN who
had stolen. Citizen seems to think that
ii an appropriation of fifty dollars Is neces-
sary on Georgia street, certainly the SAM
amount should be expended on North Caro-
lima street. This, l have no doubt, ap-
pears to 'Citizen' and the other nincteen)
very fair and disinteresfed, but to the
balance Of the town, l think it would look. !
to say the least of it, a little su~spicious.--!
But Citizen will you have the goodness to-
inform MS (!eaving out cid Grey and did
Ball, who let down a few years ago on The
Chfrhson h0k how much ofthc tow taxi
the other eighteen pay?
Citizen has heretofore been shooting att
randum' but when he says l "wouId not
approach near enough the widow to touch
her with a ten GOt poLe," he hit me-yes.
Citizen you got Inc them acknowledged
that keep a proper distance from the
widows. You have the advantage of me in
his particular, for you seem to make FIRE.
even when your rocket is to be affected
and have not tie least doubt but that Won
you'd willingly approach near enough to
'oucil them with q much ahorser ycLr Sol
you may mark that down, Citizen, &C mn.
advantage you have gained over me in Ills
discussion. Il" 'hs
DISPASSIONATELY. ]
