BlOunt'S Bust.

Yesterday morning the jewellers OF
Montgomery street were startled by hear
ing the screams of women and shortly after
seeing them emerge from the door of q
dwelling on that street, followed by fusi
lade OF dishes through the door and win,
dows.
The cause of all this was that man by
the name of Blount had come home in 8
msudlin condition, and being filled with q
desire to create an excitement, succeeded
not only in his own family but IN that oI
the neighbors. He was quieted however
before he had done much damage.
Blount is carpenter by trade and is
employed in the K & 7. repair shop, at
Fifth street. He resides on the corner OF
Fourth and Montgomery streets.

Green Ridge and the Bonds.

The Green Ridge Enterprise comes TO
hand with the following article relative TO
Tuesdays election:
Tuesday last the election as to whether
or not Pettis county should issue bonds for
the purpose of building a court house pass
ed off very quietly, everything being done
ia an orderly and business like manner.
Much to the surprise of the country peo-
pie the proposition was carried by a good
majority. Now that we cannot help mat
tiers any il is of no use to hsrbor any i'll
feelings toward Sedalia or anyone that
voted for the court house bonds. We be-
lieye that every man that voted al all voted
his honest sentiments, and if such is the
case the majority OF the people are in favor
of the bonds and should have them, al
though We think they have made a great
mistake. But as il is we can only hope
that the honorable county court will make
the best OF it possible and see that the
building does not cost more than the
amount voted, viz, 100000 and that the
bonds sell for par, as there has been SO
many offers TO buy them at that figure"

Cruelty to q Child.

ing by agate and crying as if his little
heart would break.
On inquiring it was learned that he was
weeping on account of his mother being
away. He said that she had gone down town
In the morning, saying that she would re-
turn again bfeore dinner. He had been at
the gate since noon, FIVE hours and a half,
and was almost frozen.
There is no excuse for such conduct on
the part Of the mother, as it is nothing but
simply willful neglect and cruelty on her
part.
