are good on GRUB if it is the right
kind, but they don't make as much
fuss about it as Bob White did at the
Laddonia picnic. Quiet Bob!

A Double Team-StOne.B Barnes.

Richard Barnes, who lives on the
Coons farm in the Brown neighbor-
hood, in Galloway county, and who,
by-the-way, is a brother-in-law of
Jos. W. Coons of this city, went to
Kentucky on a visit a few days since.
He said he was going there to buy a
fine horse. He did not say he was
going to match himself and make a
team, but he evidently had such an
idea in his mind. He went back to
the old neighborbood where he had
been raised, and which he had not
visited for upwards of one-quart,r of
a century. Mr.. Barnes is and has
always had an eye to business. 1t
don't take him long to make up his
mind, and then it takes him less time
to do it. He went back there to
marry an accomplished and amiable
widow, named Mrs. Bell Stone, who
he used to know thirty years ago,
and with whom he used to 90 to
school and play kissing games. He
had not seen her since, but had never
forgotten his early and first fancy.
She was one of the first persons he
met. He met, saw and conquered.
As soon as he saw her he said: "Mrs.
Stone, 1 have come from Missouri to
see you. 1 have come to take you
back with your-will you go!"
Mr.. Barnes has returned with his
bride and is settled down on his fine
farm in Galloway, just as though
there was no romance in this world or
ought else at this time but his first
and last girl friend. Life is a stern
reality, but such episodes take off the
rough and rugged edges.

Mrs. Fannie Taft Matthez.

DIR. Matthez and wife, VIII was
Mrs. Fannie Taft, when she lived in
Mexico, are how residing at Mary
vile, Missouri. Rumor says that
Fannie has written to Hank" (Mr.
Taft) stating that she is sorry that
she got divorced and wants to come
back TO him. We do not know if this
is correct, but are of the opinion that
if such is the case she must be out of
her mind, as Hank always clla9itahly
claimed.
The It. Joe Gazette says: ''Dr.
Louis Fl. Matthez and his accomplish
ed wife will leave to-day for Mary
vile, Nodaway county, where they
will take up their temporary abode
and the doctor will practice his pro-
fession. The Gazette takes actual
pleasure in recommending DR.. Mat
thez to the good people of Maryvllle,
as he is a gentleman in the true sense
of the word and thoroughly skilled in
his profession. In the treatment of
optical diseases Of the eye he proba-
bly, has but IL superior In the United
States, DR.. Morris Bernhardt, whose
pupil and assistant he has been for
many long years. Like all masters of
their profession, the doctor talks but
little, but be has only to be given an
opportunity to convince those concern
ell of his ability. Mrs. Matthez will
prove a valuable acquisition to the So
clal circle of Maryville, and the de-
parture of the Doctor and his wife
will be a source of regret to their
many friends in st. Joseph, who will
ever take an abiding interest in their
welfare

AN APPRECIATIyE LETTER
From DR.. VIM. d. II. Hunter OF Law.
renceburg, Indiana,
To Mayor Botkin.

The following letter was received
yesterday by Mayor Botkin from DIR.
VIM. ID. ii. Hunter of Lawrenceburg,
Indiana, acknowledging receipt of aid
from Mexico:
LAwRENcEBUKG. Ind, Feb. 23.-
Hon. j. b. Botkin, Mayor City Of
Mexico. NV dear sir: l received to-
day by express q package. containing
S61.70 for the relief of flood sufferers
in our city. This makes the third
package received from you containing
in the aggregate $4,000. l cannot
find language to express my gratitude
for the noble contribution from my
dear old home, endeared to me by so
many years of associations with its
generous people and now made doub-
ly so by the beneticent contribution to
the distressed of this stricken city.
| Hundreds Of miles separate us geo.
graphically, but how closely the ties
of human sympathy bind us in the
bonds of a common brotherhood! 1t
is only necessary for our people to
know that a great calamity has visited
any portion of IL country for the
big heart of its people to quickly and
generously respond to the call of dis
tress. Mexico has done grandly in
this work.
As you have seen proper to place
this money at my disposal for the re-
lief of those suffering from this the
greatest of all calamities to our city,
be assured that l shall endeavor to do
my duty in this matter to the fullest
extent and see that those mostly de-
serving aid shall receive the benefit
of your contribution. When a city,
of over 5000 souls, has been submerg-
ed for from two to three weeks there
must be much suffering and much
loss and distress. So far they have
been we'll provided with eatables, but
their homes are in such condition that
they cannot return to them, even
though they have not been swept
away. But many have lost all their
houses torn to pieces or swept away
and will have to be provided for.
Business is entirely suspended and
has been for three weeks, hut as the
waters are now off they are rapidly
putting things in order.
Thanking you and the good people
of Mexico for what you have done
am as ever yours truly,
WIN. ID. H. HUNTER.
