 Read the new advertisefnent of Mrs. E. Cans. The continual rush at her emporium of fashion ever since the spring opening tells how we'll Mrs. Cans understands making her selections of fashionable ladies goods, notions and novelties. Our lady friends can safely send to Mrs. Cans for anything they want, with the full assurance their orders will be filled to their entire satisfxation.
 We call attention to tho new feature which Messrs. Wilson X Webb have added to their popular book and news store, to-wit: the musical instrument department. They will hereafter keep in stock the Hallett, Davis X Co.,, and the Emerson piano, and the Smith or-' gan. There are many of these in- struments in use in tho south and they have gained very favorable regulation.
 ---Our correspondents in the va- rious townships in this and the ad- joining counties will please keep us posted on the condition and prospect of the crops. For instance at regu- lar intervals, say on the lst and 18th of every month make the condition of the crops the subject of special report, and give correct and reliable statements. In this way our readers may be kept we'll posted on the crop prospects in this part of the state. We enjoyed the honor of call from Dr. E. D. Bird, Secretary of the Grange Mutual Aid Society, m organization for placing safe and cheap home insurance within the reach of our people. Dr. Bird ap- pointed Mir. Geo. Berryman county, and R. E. Wilson local agent for the association. We commend our people to examine the plan of this insurance, which We like very much. It was mistake last week in our price for announcing candidates. It should have been town, $500 each; county; offices 5000; state, com gressional and senatorial $2O.00. We want to add, right here---they must pay---we can't work for noth- ing---and in cash.
 Every man who wants to run can spare that much on his own chances and should announce himself now so that voters and conventions would be posted. Primary meetings should be held soon and every one would like to know who will be be- fore them for choice so as to select their favorites. Come up and let us hear from you.---Ozark Banner
 As we noticed the former price which Bro. Brown advertised for announcing candidates, and as he now says those prices were mistake, we reproduce the above that no in- justice may come to him on account of our publication of his first terms.
 -sThe little dogs and all they bark at me-" Last week our proof reader missed a column or so, and had lot of mistakes. We discov- cred it just too late, but wrote an explanation for next paper. Two or three of our exchanges (even Battenfield did) jumped on it like a "duck on a June-bug," and poked fun at us. Ain't you 'shamed to be so ''oncharitable" to fellow be- cause nfortunate.-Ozark Banner. We can't exactly see the necessity for your 'little dog" reference, Bro. Brown. You are very badly mistaken in the kind of man we are, if you suppose we referred to your imperfect paper for idle past time, or merely to poke fun at you. We engage in no such unprofitablc brsiness. We chided you, influenc- ed by no other motive than to make you more careful for the honor and credit of the country press. If this is crime we are guilty; if this jus tifies your comparison of ourself to a 'little dog" we take it in the same spirit that we chided you last week. a spirit of pure friendship. Batten- field never seeks to make brother editor look little. F., re hsn8 ,
 Whose duty is it to remove such obnoxious uisances AS dead carcass es from our thoroughfares and streets? Certainly it ought to be made the duty of some one, but from the manner in which they are per- mittcd to lay about until they become most offensive and disagreable we would suppose that there is no one charged with this duty. We know of several instances where they have laid in public places until decompo- sition had taken place, and in fact until they were devoured by hogs and dogs. There was two dead hogs remained on Main street this week, one in front of Mrs. Wells, and one in front of Smiths blacksmithshop until they became very offensive. J l lG -l -l
