Missouri women are not to be
trlfed with. They know their
rights, and dare maintain them. An
example of this is q young man in
Kansas City wooed young woman,
and, obtaining her consent, they
were married. On their way from
church they opcountered the moth
er of the girl, who, informing the
bridegroom that he had not consult
cd her on the subject, fell upon him
with q horsowhip she had concealed
under her shawl, and beat him until
he roarcd for mercy. He promised
he you'd never do so again; but
she informed him he shouldn't do
so even once. Then she took her
daughter homo under her arm, and
told the husband if he ever came
near the house she would skin him
alive. He left town the same day.
Now, that is a mothor-in-law worth
having.

BELLOWS FALLS TIMES OF 1880
The Autograph and Remarker makes a
prompt response to our inquiry last week
about former paper being printed here
of the same name as this, from which
we copy the following:
II take the opportunity here of &C
knowledging receipt of the BELLOWS
FALLS TIMES, of the 7th inst, in which
friend Swain is prompt, and to say here
in reply to his inquiry as to when. and
by whom the former Times was publish
ed, at that place, that it was in and
about 1889, that / well recollect having
it in exchange. am confident it was
at Bellows Falls it was published at that
time, though who the publisher was / Go
not now recolIect. 1t was not called
Bellows Falls, but the Vermont Times,
and I have no recollection of anywhere
else ON Connecticut river it could have
been printed. Might possibly have been
Windsor, but | do not think it was. 1t
was rather small paper tor size, print
ed mostly on long primer or bourgeois
type. Have no recollection of seeing it
before or since 1889, and so rather guess
it was not issued there long or indeed
apy where else. If so be l am mistaken
as to the place it was published at, and
was at Windsor, all it needs to make it
certain that it was so, is for some one at
the latter place who knows about it, and
has got or will look up one to send it to
me or you for proof.
As have said in former Autographs
sent you, there have been the Bellows
Falls Intelligencer; the Bellows Falls
Gazette, edited by John w. Moore and
the Bellows Falls Journal; editor not
recollected. Besides these the Vermont
Chronicle at Windsor, was first started
at Bellows Falls, and afterwards re-
moved thence.
The Intelligencer If remember right
was published by one Blake or Blake q
Co., as long as 1918. Used to see some
