Our town still remains healthy, and
is as yet exempt from the prevalence Of
the disease in an epidemic form. 1t is
difficult TO imagine how such exagge.
rated reports get into circulation in re-

the Republican of last week, Glasgow
is mentioned in connection with JEFF

ravaged by the disease. We have not
had exceeding three deaths from the
disease originating in our place, and we
now entertain hopes that through the
Providence of God, we shall escape n

office on Saturday, with copy of the Union
i n his hand and begged 10 know il we could

of the most distinguished Democrats Of

LOCATION OF THE BAPTIST
COLLEGE.

We learn from the Liberty Tribune,
that several meetings have been held in
that town in relation TO the location of
the Baptist College 10 this State, ami
mated speeches have been made by the
Rev. w. G. Ligin and COL Doniphan,
and committee has been appointed TO
present to the Baptist Convention at
Boonville the advantages of Liberty
for the location Of the College.
We would be glad TO see some move
on this subject made by the friends of
Education in this section of the State.
Does not our County present advanta.
ges equal to any other in the State for
the location of the institution? If our
Baptist friends, and the friends of Edu-
cation do not take some interest in this
matter, that will produce an active de-
monstration in favor of our county,
they need not expect that our claims or
advantages will even be considered.
Let us work, and if we shall fail in q
fair competition with our neighbors,
we shall at least have the satisfaction
of knowing, that we shall not incur the
imputation of indifference to cause Of
such importance.
