FORD that left here in 1874. He was then IL
years Old, and small for his age. Now he is
grown man-not of herculean proportions,

| by his legion of friends, who We're perhaps
as glad to see him as he was to get view of
old faces and scenes once again. Thursday

ways until late hour, chatting, dancing,
partaking OF the splendid collation. set before
them, etc, etc.

SuppoSing the st. Louis wiseacres who put
900 into the played-out MonteSano
Springs had invested the like amount in Ar
cadia Valley? We are not cnvious nor Scri-
Ously discontinued with things as they come,
| ordinarily: but we can't help thinking how
| much might have been done with that mon
| ey toward making the Arcadia Valleya sum-
mer resort that would attract visitors by the
| thousand. Our time will icOme-it is bound
to come-but Il little we'll directed effort will
| wonderfully hasten its coming.
The County Court, at its June term, raised
wine andbcer licenses to $:160-Sl0 for State,
and $50 for county purposes. This was
| contrary to law. The license for county
purposes cannot he more than double that
for the State. and the highest amount al
lowed for the latter is $50. So that $40 is the
largest amount that may be assessed for
laid down by the State authorities, and the
courts order will have to be modifi d ac-
cordingly.
Master Albert \. Zwart, who is now on a
vacation visit to his parents, has well earned
the pleasure he finds in being at home again
He this year carried off the following honors
at st. Mary'> College, Kansas, which had an
attendance of 2S6 pupils from all parts of the
Union. First Grammar Glass: 1>t Premi-
nans for Christian Doctrine, English, Arith-
metic, History and Geography; and 1st pre-
MUM in Third Glass of German. That's
what we call pretty good tally.
The storm which did so much damage to
other sections last Friday evening, broke
harmle>>iy over the heads of the good pco-
pie of the Arcadia Valley. Tile clouds were
of inIy blackncSS and came on from the
north at fearful speed, making nervous even
the hill protected denizens of Pilot Knob,
IrontOn and Arcadia, but its force was spent
a"aint the everlasting bulwarks which stand
between them and the terrors of the Storm
King.
The colorcd Masons will have 4 picnic, on
the 18th of August, ut Goulding's Park.
Several Lodges from neighboring towns will
be in attendance, and addresses will be de-
liyered by Rev. J. w. Jackson and others.
The Potosi colored brass band will be in
attendance, and the other arrangements will
be such as to insure fine time to all who
may be in attendance. Dinner will be serv-
ed Oh the grounds ut reasonable price.
Whatever we may think as to the policy of
bringing second hand houses from the neigh
boring villages and setting them down on
Main street, all will agree that JnO. Albert,
Esq, understands his business. He hauled
the DclanO stOrehouse nearly Il mile in six
days, and if one of the roller pinionS had not
given way, would have had the building in
position before quitting time Saturday even

II was weak, brethren-very weak. And
he who invested one dollar i'm caramcls and
staid on the outside to eat them, with his
girl to assist him, was wise-wOndrous wise.
That is, FRIDAY night. Saturday night, no
one who had been there the previous eve
ming was weak enough to be taken in. 0, We
BergerFoX Combination, farewel-a long
farewell!
