OK THE evening of August 20, while ex, Con.
federate General Joe o. Shelby was on his
way from Hgginsville to his home, near Au-
vile, in Lafayette county, Mo-, he was fred
at from an ambush by some unknown assas-
sin and was severely, but not dangerously,
wounded in the thigh. He was driving along
the road at the time in buggy, and was ac-
companicd by his son and a servant, and had
nearly reached his residence when the shot
was fired. The would-be murder was con-
ceaied in some brush on the road and escap-
ed after firing the shot. The motive for the
attempted assassination is unknown, but as
Gen. Shelby has been very ouispoken and Sc
we're against the perpetrators of the mob vio-
lence which has hitherto occasioned so much
trouble in Lafayette county, it is surmised that
his assailant was one of the law-breakers who
he had denounced.

NOTICE!

EROM this date no act of any kind will he
recorded that is handed into the Recor-
der's Office, unless the fee for recording ac-
company the same. A great many have
handed in deeds with the promise to pay in a
day or two and it has been year or two and
no pay yet. 1t is true that the amount is
small, but one dollar each from 500 people is
some money. 1t is easier for any one to
raise from one to five dollars than for me to
do without $500 or more, and necessity force:
me to this plan. So from this date no act will
be recorded until the Recorders fee is ar
ranged.

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

You may get through the world but twill be very slow
If you listen TO all that is said as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted, and kept in stew,
For meddlesome tongues will have something to do
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed,
That your humble position is only assumed,
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, else you're fool
But don't get excited, but keep perfectly cool,
For people will talk.
nd then if you show the least boldness of heart,
Or slight inclination to take your own part,
They will call you upstart conceited and vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain,
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress, odfashioned our hat,
Some one will surely take notice of that,
And hint rather strongly you can't pay your way
But don't get excited, whatever they say,
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion, don't think to escape
For they criticise then in different shape
You're ahead of your means, or your taors unpaid
But mind your business there's naught to be made
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do is to do as you please,
For your mind if you have one, will then be at ease.
Of course you will meet with all sorts of abuse:
But don't think to stop them-'twill be of no use
For people will talk.

Feeling myself "pretty well'' cornered now,

Hesitating few moments, he slowly raised
his arm, and showing his wrist covered with VI,
rash, said "Vell, Toctor, vat you call dat?"
"You have the itch, sir; how did you come to
get that?" and now drawing long and deep
sigh-such an one as the purely innocent only
can draw-he said:

CoURTsHIP MADE EAsY.-When two young
people who have a hankering after each other,
meet for the first time at a sociable gathering
the following colloquy ensues:
He (timidly )-"Fine weather we are having"
training like thunder outside.)
She (bashfully) y)-"Yes; very
He (after pause Of five minutes )-"How do
you enjoy yourself this evening""
She-"Am having an exquisite time,' (fib
No. y.
He (nervOusly)-"Think it will rain all
night ?"
She (doubtngly)- )--"I don't know, do you %
He tremulo)-"No-yes- no."
After five more minutes of suspense and
twitching of fingers, the bashful youth again
coaxes his courage up.
He-"Been vaccinated 2"
She (blushing)-"Yes."
He (courageously) y)-"Did it took ?"
She with a sickly smile)-"No."
Another pause ensues-more nervousness
and the interesting conversation goes back to
the weather:
He-"What do you think of the snow ?"
She (lntelligently y)-"I don't know"
Thus encouraged the youth attempts to look
sheep eyes at his sweetheart, at the same time
she tries glance over her shoulder, They de-
tect each other and blush simultaneously. And
so the pleasant interview is kept up until some
friend relieves the embarrassment of both by
separating them. A valentine or philopena is
next in order and the business is settled.
