Vote for DOnnan.

We apprehend that very few Republi-
cans in Buchanan county will hesitate
about taking off their coats and doing q
good days work for Hon W. G. Donnan,
next Tuesday, when they see the despi-
cable means set in motion by his enemies
for his defeat The old played out. a
hundred times rcfuted, charges about his
army record are again dragged to light
and reiterated on our steets with an effront-
cry born of whisky and pure cussedncss.
The parties who repeat them and by ap'
peals to their base passion and arpctites,
induce others toibrawl them about the
streets and in the saloons, knoac them to
be false, but in the desperate attempt to
sustain the sinking cause of their candi-
date are willing to descend to any depth
of infamy. Honest Republicans and
Democrats alike owe it to their manhood,
to their Sc nse ofjusticc and fair dealing,
to honesty and public morality, that they
arise as one man and put the seal of their
condemnation upon this rascally warfare.
Buchanan county has tried and proved
w. G.. Donnan. He has honOred our
county as much by his integrity as by his
success as legislator. The good that
he has done us is tangible, can be coun'
ted in wealth and prosperity. We owe
him our respect our confidence and
large debt of gratitude. Here, where he
and his assailants are known intimately
we have no fear for the result. 1t will
be such as will honor him and our people
alike.

TRAGIC AFFAIR. "A letter received by
the postmaster from W. A Thoms, train
dispatcher of the Atlantic & Pacific r.
r., at Springfield, Mo-, conveys the sad
intelligence of the death, by the hand of
an assassin, of J. B. Percy, brother of
Mrs. J. B. Turner of this city. Mr.. Per-
cy was a passenger conductor on the
above road and had charge of the Ex-
press train which left Springfield at $50
Monday evening, Oct. 21st. A young
man Of IS or 10 years got on the train,
and having no money Mr.. Percy took his
cap as equivalent for his fare. Arriving
at Marshfeld, twenty-five miles east of
Springfield, Mr.. Percy stepped to the de-
pot platform, as usual, to assist passengers
to and from the train. When ready to
start he gave the signal to the engineer
and stepped upon the platform of the
first passenger car, where was standing
the young fellow whose cap had been
confscated for fare. The latter immcdi.
ately raised revolver to within a few
inches of Mr.. Percys head and fired, the
ball entering the left temple and lodging
in the brain over the left eye. The
wounded man was taken into the depO,
and died in half an hour The officers
and employees of the company immediate

JOIN T. SLOVENIAN was in town this
week, and apparently was taken much
aback because the straight Democracy
had omitted to place his name on their

returned answer that the shoe was on the
other foot; he it was who had deserted
them, and that as a crow eating Demo-

that he was carrying lantern, but I'M

GLOW is this, Uncle So" said the neigh
Dor, in joking way, II gave you credit
for more sense than to carry an unlighted
lantern so dark a night as this"
Looking up with characteristic twin
kle in his eye, the old man said: II know,
but considering where I've been to night,
I thought it appropriate to keep as dark
about it as possible"
An explanation followed, and the neigh
Dor applauded the old gcntlcman's dis
erection with hearty laugh.

A French writer says that "the reader
of a newspaper does not see the first in
scrtion Of an ordinary advertisement; the
second insertion he sees, but does not
read; the third insertion he reads; the
fourth insertion he looks at the price; the
fifth insertion he speaks of it to his wife;
the sixth insertion he is ready to pur-
chase, and the seventh insertion he pur.
chases." Your object in advertising is
to make the public understand what you
have got to sell, and if you have not the
pluck to keep advertising until you have
impaired that information, all the money
you have spent is lost.

TIE PRoposITIoNs.-Besi the can
didates for Office there will submitted to
the vote Of the people of this county at
the coming election two propositions.
One is the adoption or rejection of the
act of the Twelfth General Assembly, pro-
hibiting stock from running at large
during the night. There is probably but
little opposition to this, and it will be
adopted by large majority but it's friends
should bear in mind that its success re.
quires majority of the wAole cote Of tho
county, cast at this election. The other
proposition is that Of increasing the num-
Der of Supervisors to seven. We think
if the number had been fixed at five that
it would have carried; it is somewhat
doubtful rs it is. This only requires for its
adoption II majority of the vote cast up
on this proposition.

Of Hats and Bonnets, Ribbons, Plumcs,
