Republican Mass Meeting.

The republican mass meeting last
Saturday appointed the following del
egates to attend the State Convention:
R. N. Toler, M. F. Shock, w. P. Lin
der. ]. c. Carothers, ]. M. Mccall and
]. R. Musick. The following resolu.
tons was adopted:
WHEREAS, There is a large number
of voters in the State who have not
been acting with TIE republican party.
who are tired of the control of the
State by ring of bourbon democrats
and recognize the fact that the election
OF General Marmaduke as Governor
OF Missouri would send her twenty
years backward in her progress.
Therefore be it resolved, it is the
sense of the Republicans of Adair
county, that we favor the plan of an
Independent State ticket of men op-
posed to the present ring rule of the
State.

a family quarrel brought on by diff

which having been settled in accord

and peace. Who will inauguarte the
good move I? VIM. HART.
II is a strange thing if old comrades
who stood together IN the dark day
of danger and death, twenty years ago
may not meet to clasp hands once
more, and 10 look into each others hon
est and changed faces, perhaps for the
last time, without carping criticism.
They do not meet to perpetuate the
memory of the hatred and strife OF the
past. but to klndle anew the fires OF
patriot friendship and to say "Hail and
farewell" before parting forever.

A LOunty History.

Mr.. w. r. Mcintosh representing
the Western Historical Publication
Company Of Springfield, H., came
here last week and is now engaged
upon the preliminary work for publish
a complete and accurate history of
Adair county. Mr.. M. comes well
recommended by prominent people of
his own state, and, being ready and
facile writer is doubtless well qualified
for the work in hand. Such a work as
he proposes to publish is one of the
great needs of our county and We trust
that he will receive ready assistance
from our citizens in his laborious un-
dertaking. His assistants in different
parts Of the county will soon be select
ed when the work of collecting and
compiling the material will begin at
once. We wish him great success.

THE WOUNDED.


There were two men wounded by
the premature discharge of the can
non at the sham battle on Thusday.
Mr.. Geo. H. Irvln. who has recent
ly become citizen Of Klrksvi!le. was
handling the ranmer and the flesh on
his right hand was badly burned and
lacerased. He was taken charge Of
BY DR.. Burton, and removed to his
residence. We learn this morning that
no bones were broken and that there
Is good prospect for saving the hand.
A subscription was taken on the
grounds and something over forty dol
lars contributed. The other injured
man is Mr.. VIM. Clark, who lives nine
miles north of Kirksville. His hands
and stomach were powder burned,
but his injuries are not considered at
all dangerous.

made it SO by standing back and

AS the time approaches for opening
the doors of the Worlds Exposition at
New Orleans encouraging reports from
various foreign and domestic commits
sions indicate that the riches of the
great fair have been by no means over
estimated. the scheme has grown so
rapidly that it has been found neces.
sary to erect additional buildings from
time to time in order to accommodate
the increasing number of exhibitors.
Three and possibly four of the build
lngs will be found to be larger than any
similar erections of any age or country.
This fact gives the Exposition pre-.
eminence among worlds fairs that will
be potential in drawing strangers from
far away lands. Those who have made
up their minds to see one worlds fair
have now the opportunity of seeing the
best example that has yet been devils.

success already achieved. In addition
to the products of art, science and in
dustry of the old world. such as have
made other fairs renowned and attrac-
tive 70 remote dwellers of the round
globe, the New Orleans creation has
unique features.
The Mexican garden of five acres
will contain one hundred and four yari.
ehes of trees from every part of the
Republic. Many of the woods have a
high commercial value and vet strange
to say, some of them are practically
unknown in the United States. The
Mexican cedar, mahogany, Campeche
logwood, saffron and llnaloe, that has a
perfume that never leaves it, are all
trees of great value in commerce. The
timber growth of Mexico is practically
unlimited and there is boundless
wealth IN many untouched forests
awaiting the hand of enterprise and in.

Should the Exposition succeed in
making known to the people of the
world the riches of the North. Central
and South American forests, it will
have accomplished at its close highly
important mission. But what is said
of trees may be repeated in different

GENTLEMEN: Your letter ofthe 24th
of July is at hand. In reply to your
question, we desire to state that we are
acquainted with our honored citizen,
Grover cleveland. We know that he
Is an educated and liberal-minded
man. His views on the temperance
question are fully known here.
He is strongly opposed to prohibl-
ton and is against all sumptuary laws.
He has been the attorney for the
Brewers Association of this city for
many years. He Is also q stockholder
il the Buffalo Cooperative Brewing
Company. At the great Saengerfets
held here last year he delivered the
address of welcome, and it was praised
by all the Germans who heard 1t or
read it, and this letter has been delayed
trying to obtain copy, which we will
send later.
Mr.. Cleveland is considered by the
Germans here as one of their own kind
and often have we seen him enter into
our festivities and gathering with a
spirit equal to that Of our most enthu'
siastic Germans.
Mr.. Cleveland is just such a candi-
date as the Germans and foreign born
citizens want. He is not know.
nothing, not bigoted man. but OF
the contrary, man who has alway
sympathized with the forelgn-born citi'
zens, more especially the Germans.
Mr.. Cleveland's official record a:
Mayor Of the City of Buffalo and Gov
ernor of the Empire State has never
been surpassed, and although we have
hitherto rather supported the Republi
can ticket we shall try our best to Sc
cure Cleveland's election, and we have

publicans. Your very respectfully,

Has more attractions, and is more
richly endowed in all natural resources
than any other state IN the Union.
Lands may be as rich and productive
timber. minerals, etc., may abound to
a greater extent in some localities, yet
Missouri possesses all advantages ior
the industrious farmer and thrifty Ia
boring man. Its delightful climate,
pune air, and water cannot be excelled
anywhere. The area Of Missouri is
3aS miles long by $50 miles average
width. and contains 65,35o square

than eight times the size OF Massachu.
sets, nearly as large as Vermont and
New Hampshire, and IS fully as large
again as the State Of "New York. :
The eastern line of Missouri is marked
by the great Mississippi river from
north to south, while nearly through
the center the "Big Muddy" joins the
Mississippi abou: equi-distant from
the northern and southern boundaries.
Railroads stretch out to every portion
of the state, these with our large navi-
gable streams make it more accessible
to immigrants than probably any other
one of the United States When we
consider the large area of lands that
are unoccupied. North Missouri might
be considered a prairie country,
especially that part northwest OF the
Missouri river; and along the water
courses. it has luxurious and thick belts
of diversified timber. A considerable
1portion of these prairies display a
gracefully waving surface, with slopes
easy, and rounded outlines. Extensive
tracts of lands are included in these
prairies and in many instances cover
thousands of acres. In the spring and
summer velvet of green carpets the
entire surface of our prairies, and the
beautiful wild flowers of various forms
and hues. make a picturesque scene
most lovely to behold, and apprecla.
tive to all lovers of nature.
The total population of Missouri
now is nearly 2,25o,ooo and IS rapidly
increasing by the influx of immigra'
iion from eastern states and foreign
countries. We believe at no distant
day that Missouri Is destined to be the
foremost stock raising portion OF the
United States. With an enormou:
yield of corn and oats upon which
stock Is largely dependent; We have
an inexhaustible supply of water con
venient everywhere, and the climate
being so mild is we'll adapted to then
growth and health. Stock ranges are
boundless, and for nine months eacf
year an excellent pasturage of ricf
nutritious vegetation is afforded in grea
luxuriance upon the almost counties:
prairies. AS yet Missouri has no
made serious inroads upon her vas
natural resources. Her broad acre.
