There is scarcity OF fractional silver
coin, caused by its presentation for re-
denption under recent law. There are
twenty.one million dollars OF such coin in
the Treasury, which will be exchanged at
all sub.treasuries for United States notes.
When appropriation is made for this
purpose by Congress it will be sent free OF
cost in sums OF five hundred dollars and
upwards to any part OF the country.

MAYHEM.

One OF our wheat buyers. air. T.. Wilson. tells
me there are an average of fifty loads OF wheat
brought to Mayhem daily, averaging about
forty bushels to the load.
NJ. A. Hayden has moved into his new store,
and our Old Lafayette county friend, Mr.. Oliver
Honx ia, this morning. opening out u nice stock
oi boots. shoes, hats, caps and gloves In the
honse vacated by Mr.. Hayden.
Ihave just interviewed John McYey,a nd he says
that if the Intolligencer man Will come out he
can have n free ride with your correspondent,
and take u good look ut Gods country and mix
with some of the best people in Missouri.
MAYHEM is booming. We now have two
livery and iced stables. One, erected by Mr..
Abner Hayden, and the other 10y John McVey.
Ale. had rigs on the ground Tor hire as soon AS
the posts for the frame work We're hauled. One
OF our wheat buyers Is the happy man who gets
the first ride. Our friend, Thos. Paxton. is the
tncky chap drawing the prize Mr. Charley
Tracey also talks Of building q livery and feed

for man, woman or child to walk.
Our temperance picnic was a grand success.
tue wit and beauty OF the neighborhood were out
in force, beside a goodly number of ladies and
gentlemen from u distance. The gathering was
not what would be called a large one but was
certainly the most orderly one l ever witnessed.
Our marshal WAS authorized to put on such police
force as he might think needed, but he did not
make u single appointment. the very best order
having prevailed throughout the day. The ex-
ercises consisted OF singing by the members OF
the lodge, then an excellent speech by Elder Nc
Daniel. Of Higglnsville, then dinner was an

by DIR. Holland, of Marshall, in which he
gave us some very startling figures. Then all

DOVER,

Grass is parched and water scarce. Our
weather prophet predicted rain about the 18th.
The Intelligencer was represented, last week,
by Master Ethan Allen, No. 2. May the paper
always be rs bright AS the boy.

Wednesday evening, August 18th, by Elder
George Plattenburg, Mr.. Jack Dysart and Mrs.
Ella Shelby. The bridal party came in To
church.
The town was enlIvened yesterday morning
by IL cavalry wedding. 4 couple rode up to the
door Of DIR. Msng's drug store. ard requested
his services in that ceremony which battles
arithmetic by making two become one. He
Invited them TO go down to his hsme, promising
to join them Immediately. but they had not
time to dismOunt, 80 they were married then and
there with the street passengers for wedding
guests. They disappeared as they came. The
Iady's name is Terrell, and the gentleman's
name we could not learn.
Our little town, though not exactly clothed
with ''sack cloth and ashes.' - lies half buried
in dust, but looks forward hopefully for the fall
rains to exhume her. Under the dust-clouds
the people move to and fro and keep as cheerful
AS possible. just now they are busy attending
the August meeting. Elder Taylor. of Kansas
City, and Elder Lucas. of Virginia, are this
only preachers from u distance. Many vlsitors
as usual are scattered through the town. but we
have been too busy with sober business matters
10 collect the names and localities. OSIER.

The associated press, as we have fire.
quently had occasion to observe, is a
partisan concern. which, though sup
ported equally by democratic and re-
publican newspapers, never loses an
opportunity to do the democratic party
an injury. A few days ago it put forth
Il story ascr.bing to Gen. Weaver,
greenback candidate for president.
sentiments regarding the south which
we considered unfair, and put into his
mouth words which we felt sure were
untrue. We are glad to see that Gen.
Weaver denies the story. The follow
ing special telegram has been sent from
Glenwood, Ia. to the Chicago Times,
under date OF August 16:-''Last week,
the agent OF the associated press at
Wheeling, W. Va, telegraphed what
purported to be an interview with Gen.
Weaver. On Thursday OF last week.
Weaver arrived ut his home IN Bloom
licld. and, in an interview with L. o.
Walker, of the Democrat, and in the
presence CT Qthers, he denied that the
reported interview was true, and stated
that he had held no conversation with
any reporter. He specifically denied
saying that half had not been told of
the b%ulldoziug and frauds in the south,
as also the story that Gen. West had
said that he (West) could not live a
day in Mississippi il Hancock was elect.
ed. This denial by Gen. Weaver can
be verified by 4 dozen Bloomfield peo.
pie who heard HIM" We hope that
the denial may be emphasized by Gen.
Weaver, not that we think the original
story could do much harm. rs bulldoz-
ing ~lictions have about lost their force,
but because we always dislike to be
forced TO think evil of any one. and if
Gen. Weaver had used the language
attributed to HIM he would have mark
Ell himself down as a mendacious dem
asogue of Il very small and contenptl-
ole class, the members of which would
! poliule the name of their mother to
gain n political advantage. As we
have commented on the matter 10 his
discredit, we take pleasure in giving
publicity to this first intimatien Of 4
denial.

. The New York Tribune says of the
wheat movement:-The export move-
ment from this country. which was re.
m~arkably large y short time since, has
been arrested by the high rates demand
ed Tor ocean freight. At one time last
week 194 cents vas demanded from
New York to Liverpool, while the
charge from Chicago to New York by
lake OF canal was only l24 cents. III the
figures were reversed the charges would
be more reasonable. But the excessive
demands of transporters quickly work
their own defeat, and the demand Tor
treight-room no longer equals the sup
ply, so that a reduction OF rates is ex-
pected. The stores of wheat abroad are
so small that large quantities must still
be exported before the new crop in Eu-
rope will come into market, and the
new winter wheat in THIS country is now
going forward to meet this demand.
The receipts at the Atlantic ports during
July were extraordinarily large. Bait
more began to receive new winter
wheat in great quantities from the re-
gions tributary to its chief railroad
July 10, and its receipts of wheat during
the week ending July " we're l.625. 800
bushels against l.4l6 36l bushels at
New York. and during the next week
2.0l9 0CO bushels against 1920 9iS
bushels ut New York. During the
week ending July 81 the receipts II
Baltimore were 1.SS1.47l bushels, and
at New York 2,3l9.S9l bushels. Re.
ceipts at other ports have not been large
as yet, and enormous receipts of corr at
New York have raised its proportion OF
all grain receipts at Atlantic ports to
sos per cent. for the FIVE weeks ending
