ten from Belleview, there 10 still room for T.
C. to write in behalf Of the best element Of
society.
T. c. wishes to make some personal ex.
plantations for the benefit of esquire JONES'
He is informed that, so far as T. C. is con-
cerned, the position of wife 10 neither vacant
nor in commission. Having inadvertently
married into esquire Jones's" crowd, T. C.
Is queietly bearing the penalty, but he is
proud of the fact that pure, high minded,
noble women, whether young or old, are
everywhere his friends.
The esquire" accuses T. c. of putting
bands OF iron or wood on the Champion Ma
chine. T. c. did nothing of the kind. His
article was written with view to enable
purchasers to Judge of the relative merits Of
different machines. There was no CONSUL
tation with the agent Of the Champion, who
is abudantly able to attend to his own bust
ness, and now merely authorizes me toIsay
that the sales of the Champion are eminent
ly satisfactory to all concerned, except
esquire JONES'" who Is disruntled.
In regard to Belleview in general, there is
decided advance in the interest of good
order all along the lines. One year ago, in
Belleview, we knew what to do with tho
white and the black; but the problem was,
what shall we do with the grayr We had
people whose lives were clearly right, and
others whose lives were al clearly wrong.
With these there was no difficulty. But
there was middle class, whose voice truly
was Jacobs voice but their hands were the
hands of Esau. With them lay the difficult
ty. land we had white, black and gray issues
to develop the different classes Of people.
But now the white are more decidedly so,
the black are becoming more strongly dcfn-
ed, and the gray are asserting themselves
definitely, and the lines are becoming stroag-
ly drawn so that each man is being driven
to record. That is good. It is pleasant to
notice the introduction into Belleyiew sscie-
ty of some excellent people, and to notice
the absence of some who no doubt will be
eminently useful elsewhere.
Miss George is conducting school very
successfully in Belleview, and is doing good
work well.
T. c. has been invited to attend the closing
exercises Of the school of Prof. 81. G. Davis
at Iron Mountain, on the 18th, and will try
to attend. Prof. Vance and Davis are among
the few teachers to whom T. C. would be
glad to go to school.
We have In Belleview an excellent young
mechanic, Mr.. Ross Farmer, who Is the best
gunsmith have found in Southeast Missou-
r. His work is, of course, done by hand,
but compares well with city work.
As politics are beginning to boil in the
witches caldron, let me say to the Dcmoc-
racy that s'the Old Ticket" will have no show
at Chicago. When a man falls behind four
years in politics, no political party can ever
resurrsct him.
In this Congressional District Clardy will
be his own successor. That will be right, as
fairly a representative man. Owing to the
equivocal position Of the party on all nation
al issues, Democratic Congressman can do
nothing but talk, and If it was possible to
elect Democratic President he would have
an opposition Congress in his own party.
This region has developed great possible
ties in new direction. Messrs. sDavid Nc
Kinney and Isaac Lashiey, whilst hunting re.
Gently, found and brought home one old
opossum and ten young ones. They failed to
get one or two of the family. The young
ones are as large rs half-grown gray squir-
rels, and can stir around lively. There is
little reason to fear that the people of Belle
view will be compelled to cmigrate on ac-
count of shortage in meat.
The prospects for wheat are st present
good in this section. There are some COM
plants in regard to chess in the wheat. OBJ
servation has not convinced me that there is
more Of it this year than usual. The writer
cannot recall the time when the origin of this
plant was not subject of dispute, and out
of discussion the following facts have been
gathered: Fsrst-Chess has increased since
the introduction Of separators, as they do
not clean grain equal to first-class tanning
mill. Second-That, assuming that the seed
sown any year is perfectly clear, yet the
chess will remain In the ground and retain
its capacity for termination for years, so
thst cultivation of the ground in corn does
not cure the evil. Third-The chess does
not terminate quite so soon as the wheat,
and deep blowing and thorough tillage will
enable the wheat to outgrow it and crowd II
down.
The rumor is in the air that Capt. Edison
wishes to sell his farm. Belleyiew cannot
spare him without great loss to its best i'm
terests. Every friend OF good order and
sound public spirit in this region desires
him to remain.
Preaching seems to be scarce labout thu
