Can't. Geo. Dusky was enormously report
ed in the roster last week, among the federal
soldiers. Capt. Dusky commanded company
D, in the Sd Virginia infantry, Floyd's divis-
ION, C. s. A. He was a gallant soldier, and
carries federal bullets in his body, and other
scars received in action. 1t Is only proper
that he should be correctly reported.
Bridge Commissioner B. D. Weedin informs
US that the condition OF the Fox bridge over

to be done. Mr.. Weedin says he has xcted in
the matter rs eypedi,iously a. he could under
the circumstances surrounding the case, and
that he has no doubt the court will ut once
attend to the matter.
Higginsville Post:-"The next reunion
will probably be held at Marshall" Why
don't you help US to get it at Lexington? The
G. A. r. wants it here. Col. Coffey assures
us that the state ex-confederate association
will want to come here. and it will be the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the battle of Lex
ington, a prominent historic event. The an
niversary can never recur, and we are dis
posed to think that Marshall on that ground
would yield her claim, arising from the ac-
ton of the committee at HIggInsville. 1t Is
true that the state association and the G.. A.
r. of the state could still meet here, but why
any divisiOn? A large majority of those to
whom we spoke at Higginsville seemed to
desire to come to Lexington nert gear. After
that we are all for Marshall. We hope our
Higglnsville friends will help US as heartily
as we aided them.

Mr.. Smock caught a couple of small boys
( stealing watermelons from his patch ON Sum
day evening a week ago. They were Sam
Pickett and Tom Hollersn. Outside the

said the two who ran off were VIM. Gavin
and Louis Weibel. Pucket went before
Esquire Chandler. and plead guilty and was
fined. Mr.. Smock had the other four arrest
ed, and they were tried yesterday morning,
before Esquire Chandler, who fined Tom
Holleran 30 and costs, amounting to $15 SO
IN all, and turned the others loose.
Following is just such an article as we
should like to print, next summer, about
some agile girl swimmer at the Lexington
natatorium :-"One of the prettiest swimmers
at the St. Louis natatorium is Miss Pattie
O'Hara, a bright little girl of 10 or IL years,
who floats, dives, swims with the side stroke,
goes round and round-in fact does every
thing the trainers can teach, and sometimes
stays so long under water that one watching
for the charming little maid wonders If she
ever will come up again. She Is q ravishing
sight to behold as she stands poised for a
header on the rail of the top gallery, her
jaunty red suit fitting her trim little figure to
perfection. showing the plump yet tapering
limbs. lovely dim Piled arms, and her bright
black eyes and rosy cheeks set off to best ad-
vantage by her lOOsened hair .surmounted by
a little red NeapOlitan cap. She is as modest
as she is pretty, and has all the unconscious
grace of an artiess child" Every boy and
girl should have the opportunity to learn to
swim. 1t is too involvement to give them
this opportunity in the ponds and river round
about the town, and it is not altogether safe,
either. In a natatorium it will be both con-
~yenient and safe.

a few days ago bought a patent right, for his
township, for preserving fruits. meats, etc.

Mr.. Henry Sinauer about the transaction and
