WHAT IT MEANS.

The withdrawal of the troops from
South Carolina and Louisiana, first OF
all, means pecae and prosrerityto those
States, and the acknowledgment of
the rights of self government to
the people of those States. 1t means
also, q triumph of the Democratic
party both peaceful and bloodless
and is an open, public confession
that the Republican party is not itself,
and that it has turned over a new
leaf In its history. 1t is an acknowl-
edgement that negro suffrage and re-
construction in all its forms have
been signal and disgraceful failures
and that no party is capable of con-
trolling the destinies of this great
country, whoese meat and drink are
sectional hate, and geographical ami
mostly; and it should teach Demo
Icrats, that the possession Of powe
and place are not indispensable to tn
success of these principles. If w
have failed to secure the posts of hon
or and impress our principle
on the policy of the government, lei
us take courage, and be hopeful 70
the future. ~Fss#

SOMETHING NEW.
LIVING WATER m oUR Mnsr-CAk'f
j BIZ PUMPnD DRY--fsrolkTAEr TO
STOCK EA7sERS. ~>h t

We hear great complaint, since we
have been in the State, about not hav-
ing good living water, and We know
that in dry seasons all are subject to
an inconvenience in this matter. ara /,
Last evening, Mfr. j. F. Williams,
of Sycamore, Illinois, now at Johns
Branch, this county, made US call,
and while In our Sanctun we subject
ed him to an amateur view about
his pumps; the manner Of digging
wells, his success, etc. The follow
ing are some of the facts--for particu
lars call at our office; in the future
we will give more full account. Thus
far he only finished one well for Mr..
Hale, who now owns the Wilder farm
on Johns Branch. He bored q well
for Mr.. Hall SO feet deep, and he
says that he viii give $50 reward if it
can be pumped dry, even by steam.
He was three weeks finishing it. He
has erected windmill over it, and
pumps by wind. The well is about
two inches across in the clear, throws
out steady stream one inch in diam
eter of living water. He warrants
his wells to give satisfaction or ne
pay. He Is now at work on q well for
Mr.. James Smith. He went down
~ feet in two and one-half days; he
SAYS, he thinks, in fact, he knows,
that he can strike water In any part Of
Mo-, or most any where. In fact, he
insures to furnish you living water or
no pay; this is something we need i'll
this county. He says if the farmers
take hold of this affair he will stay in
Mo. and furnish us with good watering
facilities. His charges are reasonable
he charges you only 81 per foot for the
first 100 feet, for the second 100 feet,
if he needs bore that deep, he charges
81 per foot; 81 per foot in addition,
when working in rock; the pump fix.
lures cost you nothing. He finished
over 100 wells in and about Sycamore,
Illinois, and has the best of refer
ences, and means what he says. Far
mers should not let this golden oppor-
tunity slip; 60 and examine his work
and if it don't suit you, why, don't
invest; but if it is as he represents it,
it demands your attention, and it is
as he represents it or he asks no pay.
For particulars and cuts, call at this
office.

Yesterday gentleman, residing

Yesterday gentleman, residing in
modest cottage in the suburbs,
caught tramp prowling about his
back yard, evidently trying to steal
something. Why don't you come
to the front door if you want any
thing?" indignantly roared the pro-
prietor. " That's what ! was look
ing for" was the impudent reply.
s'Didn't you see it on the other side
of the house1" retorted the gentle
man. ''How was to know what was
the front door1 No silver door-plste,
no bell, no telephone, no statusry, no
servant to take your hat and cane.
Tell your boss there 10 a gentleman
out here who is waiting for hie
] healfast." When the gentleman goi
back with his shotgun the tramp was
not there any more.

The Moberly Headlight advises us
to put one of the new bonnets under

girl in that way. We prefer the old
way.-Brookfield Chronicle.
