Boonville, Sept. g. Correspondents i
II mustn't be supposed that because Boon
vile wss mentioned as containing so many
midgets that there are no tall people in
this plzee. Charlie Caiverhouse is 'bip
both ways" He, Tom McDermon, Aus
tin Speed and Frank Gibson will weigh a
thousand pounds and will measure twenty
four feet in width. Judge Starke, our
popular collector, is no dwarf. Harvey
Bunce, the banker, W. H. Trigg, Col.
John S. Elliott, John Cosgrove and ". r.
Batson are all tall men. Old Emperor
William could recruit a good sized
regiment Of tall soldiers in Boonville were
he living to-day.
NEWSPAPER CHANGE.
The Boonville Topic, Caldwell & Hutch
inson, proprietors, has been sold to Capt.
Samuel W. Ravenei, of the Advertiser,
who will conduct il in the future. Col.
II. A. Hutchinson, who has been editor OF
the Topic for q number Of years and for a
long time connected with the newspapers
of this city, will, we understand, retire from
the newspaper profession. Coz. Hutchin-
son is cultured gentleman, and a clear,
forcible, able writer and will be missed in
newspaper circles. Capt. Rayenel, who
succeeds him, will doubtless conduct
an excellent journal The Advertiser
will in few days pass into the control OF
Speed and Lon Stephens by whom it is
owned, and who will have charge OF it in
the future.
