Notes from Morgan County.

The Morgan Circuit Court commenced OH the
18th inst, and is still in session. The business,
both civil and criminal, is heavy. and Judge
Rice has determined to hold an adjourned term
on the third Monday in April to dispose of all
business that may be left unfinished at the pre-
sent regular term.
Mining in Morgan is progressing favorably,
considering the unfavorable season. New dis
covcries have been made in many parts of the
county, and there is every prospect of a big
yield as soon as weather will permit of their
being worked. Roads are almost impossible.
Teams seldom attempt to haul mineral to the
furnaces, and it is almost an impossibility for a
four horse team to haul one-third of their usual
load of lead to Upton for shipment.
The Versailles people were much pleased
with DIR. Curry and Mr.. Days visit in connec-
ton with your railroad, which is daily becom-
ing more of necessity to the people, and which
they arc willing to help along. The farmers in
the county also seem fayorably disposed to-
wards this project as the proposition of the pro-
posed builders of the road is so fair and reason
able that it would be to the manifest benefit of
every resident of Morgan county to encourage

you KISSED ME-A REPLY.
TO j. W.


Yes / kissed you! Held close in loving en-
brace,
Like angel caresses your curls swept my face,
Your heart throbbing wildly, was answered by
mine,
And also felt could Heaven resign
For an hour, a moments such dclirious bliss,
As the fates then vo,ichsafed in that maiden's
kiss.
All, that moment so blissfu too quickly it fled.
'Tis enshrined with the "gracc of day that is
dead"
From that happy moment our paths sundered
wide,
And drifted from you OH Times restless tide
With the stern cares of business my heart has
been filled,
But never, no never has ceased to be thrilled
At the thought of that maiden held close to my
breast.
While our lips TO each other so fondly were
pressed.
Would I kiss you again. Can you ask it my
sweet,
When my dreams nightly point to the time we
may meet.
"Joys that we've tasted may sometimes return
This one shall! 1t is spoken: And we shall un-
All the lessons of care that with us have arried,
All sorrows forgetting, we then will get married.

The Place of the Next Meeting

The people Of jefferson are greatly indebted
to Frank NJ. Dixon, Esq, for his earnest and
persistent efforts to have the next meeting of
the State Grange held here. He represented the
county in the State Grange at its meeting in
Boonville. and when the question of choosing
the place of the next annual meeting came up,
he made II strong effort to have our city desig-
mated. He obtained the concession that 50 far
as hotels, public halls, etc., are concerned, our
city has every advantage. He made a speech
Of five or ten minutes, and was followed by
Hon. c. w. Samuel, of Cedar Cily, who ably
seconded his proposition. But there was so
much competition between various towns that
the matter WAS finally referred to the Executive
Committee, who assured Mr.. Dixon that the
advantages our city offers as an inducement for
the meeting Of the Grange here shall receive
due weight. 1t now remains for our citizens
to take hold and do their part. A few of our
citizens should constitute themselves an eXccll-
tive committee who should at once make over
tures-tendering the convention the hospitali-
tios of the city. The Gr.nge meets in the Sac
ond week of October, and 10 time should be
lost. Other towns will be moving, and ours
should not he behind.

Making others happy too.

fifteen millions ought to be divided ut the earliest
