Several of the Missouri congress
sional district conventions have had a
protracted siege in order to reach a
nomination. The Poplar Bluff con-
vention, in the Fourteenth district,
balloted 476 times. and adjourned
without a nomination, thus throwing
the question back TO the people,
who had instructed their delegates
''to vote for their man first, last and
all the time" Such instructions may
he of use to establish local loyalty to
one particular candidate, but the
principle is bad, and the practice
worse as in many cases it engenders
party strife and wrangling that ought
to be avoided. Better elect delegates
to our conventions who are capable
of making judicious nominations, and
give them discretionary power in
stead Of binding them continuously to
one man, regardless of consequences.

One of the most enjoyable little
parties ever given in the county came
off last Saturday at the residence of
Mr.. Henry Rodhouse, two miles
southwest Of Mexico, given in honor
of Mr.. Josephus Cowman. About
rs couples were present. Croqnet-
ing, dancing, and love-making were
the orders of the day. Isaac Jesse
read the Declaration of Independence
and Tom Scott led the orchestra. A
bountiful dinner was spread and ev-
erybody had rousing good time. In
the afternoon Jimmie Fletcher spoke
at great length on the subject of
matrimony. An elegant cake was
voted to Miss Nellie Bradshaw for
being the handsomest lady present.
A jolly time was had and all left with
the hope that Mr.. Cowman may live

Normal Institute.

The teachers of Au6rain county,
in accordance with arrangement of
the executive committee, assembled
at the Public school building Monday
afternoon to organize the third annu-
al session of the Audrain County
Normal Institute.
The number of teachers present
was certainly gratifying; the most
suspicious feature being the fact that
all instructors selected were present
to take charge of their respective
classes-a feature the writer has new
er before seen in institute work.
Commissioner, Fl. A. Gass, was
called to the chair. After reading
the constitution and bylaws, filling
vacancies caused by absence of GER
tain officers and enrolling members,
the conductor, President Blanton,
organized the classes and began his
work in school economy by giving an
excellent lesson on the s'tone Of a
school,"
President Blanton never gives a
lesson without applying On this oc-
c%asion, be, in a very happy manner,
used the Normal Institute as an ex-
ample. He would have every feature
of the lesson carried out by teachers
and pupil-teachers during the session.
Every item in the management OF
the institute is carefully looked after
by him his energy and power are
already making their impress on all.
Prof. D.. A. Me- illan, of the Elk
%ecutive Committee, is also present in
the school room, doing all he can to
help the good work along. The Pro.
fessor has just returned from Sedalis
where he conducted a three weeks
institute similar to ours, which was
highly successful-so much so, in
fact, that they made him promise te
come back again next year and ACT
in the same capacity.
The outlook promises a grand sue
cess and the institute will probably be
what our conductor and assistants
are determined to make 1.-THE best
in all the land.
Among members from other coun
ties, we are glad to see the familiar
face of Prof. j. P. Gass, of Paynes'
vile Academy. This year he i;
earnestly at work in the capacity o.
instructor. We also notice the tai
form and pleasing face of Prof. G
