song ; he made that" and they were
perfectly surprised to hear that he
had ever made a song. But we went
to the singing, and although the night

There is to be q Mississippi River
Improvement Convention held at the
Southern Hotel in st. Louis, October
26th, 1881. There will be q large
number of delegates from all over the
West. The object of the convention
is to awaken such an interest in the
improvement Of the Mississippi river
that congress cannot refuse to grant
appropriations for this purpose, and
in this way insure cheap freights.
This is of vital interest to Missouri,
and we are glad the matter is abont
to assume such q shape that good
will result. The council appointed
the following delegates to the con-
vent,on, with the request that at least
five attend: J. c. Bassford, II. A.
Ricketts,, j. Med. Trimble, R. NJ.
White, T. NJ. Gill, Warren Harper,
j. A. Guthrie, Ex-Gov. Charles H.
Hardin, r. W. Tureman, L. Phillip,
P. W. Harding, VIM. Pollock, c. W.
Baker, Edw. Rines, E. D. Graham,
u. NJ. Gordon, ]. E. Hutton, NJ. Y
Duncan. We have spoken to several
Of the delegates, and are glad to find
q lively interest taken in this matter.
We are sure that at least half of those
appointed will attend the convention,
and do all they can to forward this
| important enterp Sc.
