l; The bond trouble continues to
harras the people of Galloway county.
On Monday of last week the U. S.
marshal for the Western district serv-
ed writs of mandamus on the judges
of the county court, Tincher and Dy-
son, commanding them to levy a tax
to pay judgments on the county's
railroad bonds to the amount of $47,-

trict court in Jefferson City in Novem-
Der next, and show cause why they
should not. 1t is not yet ascertained
what the county judges will do.
There was a meeting of citizens
held at Fulton last week to consider
the subject of refunding the railroad
debt on the compromise terms adopted
by the people several weeks ago. 1t
was proposed to select a special COM
missioner to negotiate with the bond
holders on the subject, but this was
voted down, and the negotiation was
entrusted to the present county Off

ton requesting the county court to
levy a tax for a sinking fund to be
used for the purchase of such bonds
as may be obtainable. -[St. Louis Re-

OF NEWS.

Politicians throughout the country
are quiet, preparing, in all probability,
for heavy demonstrations at the next
session of Congress. Some are study
ing out measures calculated to bene-
fit the country at large, while others
are determined, # possible, to dista9b
the peace of the entire government.
The Democrats are pleased with the
leading measures Of the administra'
ton, so far as they have yet been de-
veloped, and the same may be said
of a large majority of Republicans,
while only a small part Of that party
manifests d~ispleasure at the proceed
ings of the President of their own
selection.
There is no doubt that the Southern
people are to-day enjoying more OF
peace, and promise of future pros
perity, than at any time since the be-
ginning of the late a The people
in the Southern States are at work in
earnest, and the day is not far in the
future when goods of all kinds will be
manufactured among themselves on a
larger scale than even before, as well
the raising of the absolute ~necessaries
of life,-meat and bread in quantities
probably sufficient to supply home
demand.
The Mexicans on Southwestern
border are giving some trouble to the
Government, as well as the Mormons.
Something serious may finally be the
result in each case.
Farmers are generally behind with
their crops in the. West and North
west from the protracted wet weather.
The crop of wheat, rye and grass will
likely give the largest yield that has
been realized for many years. o
Reports from the war in the East
are contradictory. The Russian army
seems to be making advances into
Asia Minor, while many of the forti-
fed towns and strongholds OF the
Turks ars thought to be in imminent
danger. 4
The Turkish commander has called
reinforcements to be sent from
Constantinople, which would indicate

RECORDING DEEDS.

A bill of considerable Importance
in regard to recording deeds has
passed both houses, the provisions of

provides as follows:

of deeds, OF any person acting as re-
corder of deeds in any county in this
State, shall record any instrument of
writing affecting real estate, which
purports to have been signed and
acknowledged more than twelve

presented for record, he shall retain
such instrument of writing in his Of

The Russian forces are advancing
In three divisions,-175, 600 men in

meet, this force, 76, 600 men stationed
at Kars, and 10000 at Erzeroum..
The Turks are very we'll fortified

however, state that the Turks are ex-
