OBITUARY.
- AT his farm near Alma, Lafayette county,
Mo, Aug. y. MIR. GEORGE w. ROBINSON
aged 40 years.
Mr.. Robinson was born in Missouri. married
to Hiss BETTE Benton. daughter Of Ras Eenton'
formerly of Kentucky. bui now one ofihe oid'st

a farmer and stock dealer, anu was one OF the
very best men in the county. was a man oil hish

ell by all who knew him. lie WAS an affection
| ate iathcr. AMI was liked by all hls nclghbors.
The deceased leaves IL wife md one sweet little
| boy . years old. 10 mourn their loss. Ills last
| words to his wife were. 'G"od bye Bethel nm
gone.', The loss OF this high toned gentleman
10 greatly felt In this community. In all his In
tercoursc with his fellow-man he was upright
| and pleasant. Death is no respecter OF per-

to rest until the morning OF the resurrection.
| when God will raise the whole human family
to stanh before the bar of the Eternal God to

THE FAIR.

The Lafayette county fair opened. last
Wednesday morning, under the most dismal
circumstances. Al nine o'clock a heavy
shower of rain set in, which did not entirely
cease till about II o'clock. The ground was
saturated, and there was mud everywhere.
There were about one hundred people on the
ground during the day, and they all looked
damp, muddy and detected. But the officers
were determined that mud and rain should
not stop them, and the programme WAS carried
through. The horses and cattle being ex-
hibitrd on the wet grass outside of the
amphitheater. Gum coats and umbrellas
were in demand, and gum boots would have
been at n premium, Floral Hall soon hogan
10 show signs of life, aud before night 1t pre-
sented II very pretty appearance. II is the
universal opinion that the hall Is much better
this year than ever before. The rain Wednes-
1 LAY night doubtless kept many AVA on
Thursday, but the bright sunshine of Thurs
| day morning assured all hut the most tlmiL
and Il splendid crowd was pre- .pnt. Hy ter
O'Clock the track was in prime condition, and
rs about 200 horses were Oh the ground al
interesting day was certain. Their. We're also
| fine herds of Polled Angus, Hereford ant
Short Horn cattle to be looked at, aud many
sights to see. The only thing that intcrferet
with the complete enjoyment of the day WA
the intense neat, the steam arising from tn
earth being very oppressive. We are com
PEELED. owing to the crowded state of on
columns, and the impossihilily of getting tn
entire list of awards, TO p"slp"ne its pubiIca'
ton until next week, when we will give it il
full, and correctly.

Johnson's Encyclopedia.

A book of reference, an Encyclopedia, is
absolutely essential " every professional, or
active business man. Personally, a man may
gain II measure of success without such a
work of reference, but the clients, the pa
tents, the parishioners, the patrons and the
constituents are vastly the ~loosers, because
the lawyer, the doctor, the teacher, the preach
er, the merchant and the official lacked Just
the general techni :al knowledge that u first
class Encyclopedia supplies. As an editor,
teacher and preacher, 1 had access to three OF
the largest works Of the kind now before the
people. ''Appleton's American" the 'Brit-
%annica,'' and "JOhnson's." If it were pos
sible for me to possess but one Of the three,
after years of practical Use, l would unhesi-
tatingly purchase "JOhnson's Universal
Encyclopedia" CALVIN S. BLACKWELL,

WALLACE AND v


From the Se,lalia Democrat Aug. 27.J
We learn from Kansas City papers that
members of the S.utr central committee
are now in that city for the purpose Of trying
to arrange some compromise between the
candidates, who aru dividing the demo-
cratic party in the Fifth district. We trust
their efforts will prove successful. Too much
Is at stake in the election of congressman to
permit of any division in any of Alis,nuli's
fourteen DISTRICTS. 1t is to be regretted that
any such state of affairs has arisen in tho
Fifth rs gives assurance OF republican success
unless the matter Is iiXcl up. But regrets
will not remedy the matter; it will lake de-
cided action to undo the great wrong to the
party which has been done. There il no
doubt TINT both Wallace and Graves believe
themselves in the right. We do not for IL
moment think that two such good democrats
would willingly secure n nomination In n
manner which they did not think wns right.
But TO ah impartial obnnrver, one who has
only the good of the party at heart, It Is evil
don't that both arc in the wrong. Wallace
erred in having his men split OFF from the
other delegates and forcing his nomination.
hhu NsIuNtS tIItu I'LL uttt'lbllHH the nOlAlnu-
ton of II convention composed of only Il frac-
ton Of the delegates hearing credentials, rem
dering 1t exceedingly doubtful II there was In
his convention Il majority OF the duly elected
Delegates.
Having both committed g~ricvous errors,
and brought the party in their district into II
very bad position, both ,li0uld be willing ia
| atlpnt some lntuIs nf a. 4 1 ri..uti,,n mr. p,,l,, a.,
party but themselves from an unfortunate
pr"d'cament. 10 maintain their present pO-
sition will do neither any good Tor 1t can
only end in their defeat and the election of q
republican. The only possible plan, which
would not compromise either Graves Oh
Wallace, Is to submit the matter to the pco-
pie. aud let the party in the district decide it.
This would be a speedy and n fair solution OF
the difficulty. In justice to Mr.. Wallace, WI
would say HAT this plan was proposed by Mr,
Wallace To Mr. Graves, but WAS rejected by
the latter, who appears to lie back on his
dignity, at n very inoIportune time. The
democratic party in the district is well uDle &c
say which OF the gentlemen shall go to con-
greSs. And the two distinguished contestants
will lose nothing by submitting their claim.
To the people. Both are young men of talent
with experience in public lille, and with high
aspirations for the future. kirh,r can AFFORD
to defer his ambition nj the will OF the people
I'LL some more iaN"ra!l opportunity. There
will he many Times, before either grows gray
when they will Dc given opportunity to snir
the goal OF their desires. Blu neither cuI
afford t" g" int" triangular contest and allow
the enemy To take the district, and thercb,
gain ascendency in congress.
