Frank and Jesse James.

Hon. J. A. Dacus, of st. Louis, the well
known editor and ex-member Of tho Missouri
Legislature. has written q carefully prepared
Life and Adventures Of Frank and Jesse
James," which has been issued by the well
known publishing house of N. d. Thompson
& Co., of that city. Mr.. Dacus, we are in
formed, spent two years in the preparation
of this work, much of which time was with
the family and friends of the James Boys,
whose friendship and confidence he gained,
aud who gave him all the facts concerning
their antecedents and ancestry as well as the
facts concerning the almost numberless rob-
berries, dashing raids and vengeful murders
committed by them during the 20 years of
their career in nearly as many States and Ter
ritories. The book IL the most startling record
ever made in history. The careers have no
parallel in the history Of highwaymen. Bold
and dashfng to degree that seemed reckless
to personal danger. yet they have never been
unprecedented during this long period though
rewards to the amounts of SIS, 1000 have been
offered for their arrest, dead or alive. The
book is sold BY subscription, and We are in
formed by the publishers that $1,000 have
been sold in four months. Agents are reaping
a rich harvest with 1t. We advertise it in
another column.

DIED-At Houston, Texas, on Wednesday,
July q, 1880, WILLIAM II. HUNT, in the 9Th
year of his age.
Mr.. Hunt was known to many of our PEG.
pie, and was an exemplary young man. He
was q native of Connecticut, having emigrat-
ed to Missouri in 1870, and for several years
lived and worked in this community. The
announcement of his death was unexpected
and caused re neral sorrow. He had been for
. number Of years engaged as U. 8. Mail
Agent on the railroad between Houston and
Dennison, Texas, and had the confidence and
goodwill Of all with whom he came in con-
tact No better comment than this could be
made. Mr.. Hunt was brother in-lsw to our
highly esteemed fellow citizen, DR.. Edwin
May. who upon receipt of the telegram an
nouncing his death, made immediate prepare
tions for the funeral. The body came up on
on No. 2, Sunday morning, and was received
at the depot and taken to the Presbyterian
Church, where it rested until nine O'Clock,
when the funeral services were begun. An
eloquent and appropriate serman was preach
ed by Rev. Mr.. Hicks, after which the large
funeral procession moved to the Masonic
Cemetery, where the final rites were paid the
body of the deceased. To the relatives who
mourn his untimely departure, the sympa-
thies Of the community are rendered.

The Primary Election for the various coun.
ty offices will be held next Saturday, and
Democrats may congratulate themselves that
the names presented for their SURFACES are
such that the county cannot be the loser,
however the choice may result There ID but
one candidate for each for the position of
Representative. Prosecuting Attorney and
Treasurer-the present incumbents-and ~
they have served the people with zeal, ability
and honor in the past, 90 we may premise
they will render equally valuable service in
the future. For Collector we have two candi-
dates-Buford and Fletcher-and both have
many warm and active friends. With the
election of either an excellent choice will be
made. For Sheriff, Fletcher and Butts are
the competitors: and for Assessor, Messrs.
Bell, Seals and Ross will divide the votes Of
the Democratic masses. They are all good
men, and either will serve the people with in
tegrity and capabiity. In the Southern Dis
trict, Messrs. Kemper and Clarkson offer for
the position OF County Judge; while the
Western District will choose between Judge
Stephens and David 81. Palmer. Esq. In
all these candidates, we don't have . good
word to say for one that We couldn't -
justly and willingly say for the other. Tie
canvass, 50 far ~ we have learned, has
on all sides been condeuctd with fairness
and good feeling; and whatever NAV be
the result, it will find the successful
competitors with full Democratic following
in November.

The two gentlemen moved on and AL
bert Lsndman arose from his seat and
left the house. Never before had he
such thoughts as now possessed him
he had never dwelt upon the same
grouping of IDEAS That very morning
his own true, faithful, loving wife had
been sad and heart.sick because he had
harsLly and unkindly met her request
for small sum of money. And his
sweet Lizzie had crept away to her
home almost broken hearted for the
want of simple toy, such as her mates
possessed. And yet the sum OF both
their wants amounted to not as much as
he he had paid away that evening for
billiard playing.
Albert Landman wanted to be an
honest husband and father, and the
lesson was not lost upon him. On his
way home he stopped at MIR. Grants
and purchased the best and prettiest
hoop to be found, with driving. stick
painted red, white and blue, and in
the morning, when he beheld his child's
delight, and had received her grateful,
happy kiss, the question came to his
mind: Which was the best and happi.
est result, tLis or the five games Of
billiards =? The hoop cost thirty cents.
He could play two games OF billiards
less aud be the absolute gamer of ten
cents by the pleasant operation.
A few mornings after this, as Albert
arose from the breakfast table, he de-
teoted an uneasy, wistful look upon his
wife's face.
Kate, what is it?"
Albert, could you spare me half 2
dollar this morning?"
And out came the wallet, and the
money was handed over with a warm,
genial smile.
What Tears at that? Was it posi-
BILE that she had been so little used to
such scenes on his part that so simple
an act of loving kindness thus affected
her?
How many games of billiards would
he required to secure such satisfaction
as Albert carried with him that morning
to the shop?
A very simple lesson, is it not; but
how many may gain lasting profit by
giving heed to the lesson ?-Erchange
