APPLE BLOOMS.

Pearl and pink on the gnarled old tree,
Pink and pearl they d'ifted down,
Where the tender grass with its emerald veil,
Trembled and crept DER the earth so brown.
How dream again Of the orchard old,
OF the apple blooms with their fragrant scent,
And the scarlet dash ofthe robins breast,
That swayed and sang in glad content.
How see once more the dainty grace
OF girlish form and face so fair.
Ii seemed the apple blooms had caught
Their hues of pearl and pink from there.
And bending low the freighted branch,
4 fragrant spray break and Irvine,
Where like an aureOle Of light,
Her lamsent tresses CLINT and shine.
Oh sweet lost friend; the apple blooms
We loved so well-so much like you
In fragile beauty-many times
Since then have oped To sun and dew.
But you were sleeping cold and still,
And came no more with eager ieet,
Adown the orchards emerald slope,
Their fragrant loyelness 10 greet.
And tho / wander far away,
Yet, like smn with sweetest runes
Within the heart, l still enfold
The pink and pearl OF app lie blooms.

The BAZoo has information to the et-
feet that a new English republican paper
will be established in Boonville in the
near future. 1t is to be issued from the
Office of the Central Missourier (German)
and is to be owned and managed by a
stock company, composed of our leading
radicals, among whom are A. G. Wilde
combe, Franklin swap, K w. Whitlow
and others. As there is no English repub-
lican in this or Howard counties, such
journal ought to pay. Who the editors
will he has not yet been decided. The
whole matter is now taking shape, and
something definite will be done shortly.

A LARGE PURCHASE.
Thirty Four Thousand Dollars
Worth of High Grade Cat.
tie and Horses Sold.

Pettis county is getting its name and
fame known abroad as the home and mar
ket of high grade cattle. The quantity and
the kind of cattle the breeders here are pro-
ducing is attracting stock dealers and ranch
men from the far west, and scarcely does q
day pass but some stranger arrives with a
plethoric pocket-book to make purchases.
Last week Messrs. NJ. Rush Warner and
Mark Coppinger, representing the Grand
River Land and Live Stock company, of
Gunnisou, Col, arrived in the city in search
of high grades and thoroughbred cattle.
They soon found their way to Locust
Grove farm, the famous place of Joel B.
Gentry 81 Co., and yesterday concluded the
purchase of the following:
ia Shorthorn bulls.
400 Shorthorn heifers.
2 Imported Polled bulls.
2 Imported Hereford bulls.
2Imported Polled cows and calves.
j two year old stallion, jackson Dem
mark"
The party also purchased Joel. B. Gen.
try's premium saddle mare, "Clemma"
The purchase amounted to S34 900. and
is the largest ever made in Central Mis-
souri, by one party Most Of the cattle sold
yesterday will be delivered at once.
Major VIM. Gentry and his son Joel are
now identified with the Grand River Land
and Live Stock Company, having yester-
day purchased stock in the concern.
The cattle and horses bred by ]. B. Gen.
try & Co stand well throughout the length
and bread of this land. None have a bet
ter record for purity, and the name of Gen.
try, in connection with cattle, is synony-
nous with the best.
