"Judge Minshall has been holding
court over at Washington G. H., and it
is his custom, in the evening, to take a
walk out in the country. Frank Allen
Dawes brother) resides on the Hoff-
man farm, about five miles northeast
of Washington, and about a week ago,
while riding home in his buggy, over
took the Judge, who was walking
slowly along, with his hands behind
his back, perhaps dwelling upon some
knotty point in law. 'Hello!' said Al
len; 'you can't make the town tonight,
can you, Judge?' Minshall looked up
with serious, inquiring expression,
and recognizing Frank, asked, what
town?' why, Chillicothe, to be sure,'
replied the granger. 'Oh, but Pm not

PECAN POINT, June 8, 1880


The Murphys of Scott township
are confident that they will succeed
in voting down Liquor License ii
their township at the November
election.
Scott Township has fine Sab
bath School at Louisa Chapel
with an attendance Of about "a
children. Both, teachers and pu
pils seem deeply interested.
At one of the Whiskey shops in
Scott township, on Saturday tho
Goth. nit, some negroes became in.
volved in a difficulty, when one
struck another on the back of his
head with n club, knocking him
senselcss. In this condition he re
mained 4S hours, when he was par
TALLY restored, but with reason de
throncd. The county will cry out
'another charge to keep | have,

dealers. Both negroes were drunk
when the difficulty took place.

OF the county are Illustrating OF

Crops look fine both in Scott and

their work and in good spirits.

Tho animal school exbibitior

The annual school exhibition
of the junior and senior classes o.
the Osceola High School, came of
during the past week under the
management of Mr.. S. S. Semmes.
Mr.. Joseph Borum, MISS Ella Roun'
tree and Miss Fannie Morris; the
principal, Prof. McAhster, leaving
this business 10 them. The chill.
dren acquitted themselves hand
somely under the disadvantage OF
q small Hall and crowded stage.
All did well, and the public expec-
tations were fully realized. Prcmi-
ums were distributed, and after a
few words of encouragement and
commentator from Prof. McAlis-
ter and Hon. ii, NJ. McVcIgh, the
audience dispersed in high good
humor.
He didn't look any bigger than
a spring frog, the man tAat went
up hanging to a balloon here at
Osceola the o,hcr day, and his bal
loon looked about the size of Il ripe
pear. When the balloon began TO
come down, she came pretty fast,
careened over, and looked like she
was gong to upset and collapse IN
mid-alr. Men mounted their horses
in hot haste, and men and boys
hurried to the spot OF ground where
she was going TO hit the earth, ex-
pecting to be rewarded by the har-
spectacle of mangled,
bleeding balloonatic. When they
got there, they found the balloona-
tic quietly standing by the sido of
bis collapsed air-ship. Did she
basf before she struck the sile,"
breathlcssly inquired an excited in
div;dual. Wall, no." said the
balloonatic, looking very thought
full, professionally speaking, that
would be agin orders, my contract
with her is, that as | aint got no
wings, she aint to bust, nor skeer,
on,ell we reach terry frmy." Every
body agreed that nothing could be
mv.e reasonable than such n con
tract, and all seemed pleased with
tho exhibition, except a few of the
worst coonjiners in town, who went
away in disgust, saying, why dag
gone it all, when lie got way up as
high as she'd go, why didn't he
drap often her, and come down by
hisself?" The Tact is, our boys, liv-
ing here on the Mississippi river,
have got into that state of mind,
that they are not astonished at any
thing, and will demand of all future
balloonatics that they droP off when
they get up as high as she'll go.

Praying for Rattie.nakes.

In 1850 there lived in the southern part OF
Missouri family by the name of Weaver-very
hard characteristic old man, his wife aud five
grown-up sons. During the spring John Weav-
er was bitten by rattlesnake. Everything was
resorted to for his relief, bat to no avail. When
they saw he must die, they sent for an old Bap-
fist preacher to pray for him. He prayed as
foIlows: ave thank Thee, Almighty God, for Thy
watehful care over us, aud especially we thank
Thee for rattlesnakes. Thou has sent QUE to
bite John Weaver. We pray Thee to send one
to bite jim, one to bite Henry, one to bite Sam,
one to bite Joe, aud pray Thee to send the
biggest kind of rattlesnake to bite the old
man, for nothing but mathematics will ever
bring the the Weaver family to repentance
There are others in Missouri just as bad as the
Weavers. We pray Thee to stir up Missouri
and, if nothing else will bring the people to re-
pentance, we pray Thee to shower down more
rattlesnakes. Amen"

The doctor gave him a remedy that soon eased
him, and he called out: "Keep at it, doctor, and
I'll give you a check for five hundred dollars"
In an hour more he was able to sit up, and be
calmly remarked: doctor, l feel like giving

ready to go, tue sick man was up and dressed,
and he followed the physician to the door, and
said: "Say, doctor, send in your bill the first of

amounting to five dollars. He was pressed to
