The Closing Chapter, and One
That Will Prove of Interest
to All.

When George ID. Ellis, the insurance
agent Of Barry, Illinois, received a little
tree advertising in the last issue Of the
SUNDAY MORNING BAzoO,
it was then thought the subject wa. about
exhausted. Such, however, is far IRON
being the case, as will be shown by what is
to follow. When the BAzoos reached
Barry, they were eagerly sought after by
the people OF the place, and the large
number sent were soon disposed of. Ellis.

but, as on former occasions, denounced
everything contained in it as false. and
said he would procure satisfaction at the
hands of the law. Hestill insisted that he
was never married to Miss Mary Clark, of
Sedalia, and NO proof to that effect could
be produced. N this respect
HE LIED,
for the BAZoO has his own letter to prove
that such is fact, and to-day presents it.
The BAzoOs expose of the villain created
not little excitement in Barry, and the
general impression seemed to be that he
should be forced to leave the place, as he
was undoubtedly dangerous man in the
In proof of this, the following
letter from a prominent citizen is given:
BARRY, ILL.,, April Is, 'S2.
EDITOR BAzOo: The packages of
BAZOO's that came at 10 o'clock yesterday
were soon sold, ard they were in demand,
many persons calling for them after ali
were sold. There seemed to be great ex-
element among the people OF our little
city. Many talked of tar and feathers, or
taking q horse whip and wearing it out on
the miserable wretch. The following note
was 6nally sent him:

own handwriting, is published, and the

respondent informs the BAzOO i'm the fol-

EDITOR BAZOo: From what wecan learn,
Ellis did not leave Missouri until after
Nav 10Th, 1881. 1t seems that he was
then at Montgomery City, and previous to
that was at Sedalia. Now, we would be
pleased to know whether or not he was a
citizen of your stale in Nav, 1881. ANY
information on this subject will be thank
fully received. If he was q citizen of
your state at that time, and had done any
voting, there will be no trouble in putting
him behind the bars, for he cast q vote at
our township election on the 9Th inst.
which would only be about ten months
since he left Montgomery City, Ne. A

ATTEMPTS TO BUILDOZE
The Barry Adage copied the BAzoo's
article, and Ellis called upon the editor
and attempted to intimidate him by
criminal libel, and this, too,
after he had published reply i'm that
paper.

Barry, Ellis made fabulous statements as

ton to the steady increase Of the North Caro-

The outlook for the coming crop is good,
both as to quantity and quality, though son
sections suffered slightly at one period for
want of water and the late rains we have
been having may retard its coming to market

we think, undoubtedly receive its due share.

BOOTS AND SHOES.
This branch Of our wholesale jobbing trade
has more than held its own during the past
season, notwithstanding that he cotton crop
has fallen far short Of the previous year, and,
as is well known. a good cotton crop at fair
prices has its effect on the volume of business
in every department OF our wholesale jobbing
trade, and in none more so han in this par

results far beyond the exp Citations of the

capital and offer facilities and credit to the
interior merchants equal to, if not SURPRISING

this. interior buyers have already purchased
during the present season more largely than
ever before in the same time, and the trade
has presented to them larger stocks and better
goods. and at closer margins than could be OBJ
famed in Northern markets.
Another notable feature of the past years
business WAS that there were less failures
among country mere 3ants than usual, and in
consequence jobbers have not suffered so badly
as they have in former years. While there are
a nun Der Who have been compelled to carry
over small balances there has not been so
much anxiety as has characterized the trade

promising
The grain crops have been larger than any
year since the war, aud the fact that consum-
ers of previous years are now sellers tends to
bring more capital to the interior. As a result

us four first class establishments engaged in
