Hon. W. H. Kennan voted and

Hon. W. II. Kennan voted and
worked against the bill for the state
to appropriate money to maintain a
mechanical school for the negroes.
During his speech he said "he had
been reared among the colored peo-
pie, as his father was slave owner.
He knew their character well. He
favored giving them common school
education, but objected to appropri-
ating money for a special school. He
would ask the Representatives OF
Missouri il there was demand from
the people of any county for this
appropriation" The bill was voted
down and lost amidst great applause.

Some of the newspapers are doing
all they can to get Governor Marina
duke and Maj. Rainwater into fight.
The more they are interviewed and
the more they say the warmer they
get and the more bitter their hatred
toward each other. They are both
well known all over the west and we
don't see what they want to advertise
each other for. Life is short, take
it at its best.

The Bowling Green Times stated
last week that j. w. Jamison was

heard on nearly every corner. Two
petitions are being circulated among

of the railroad will not sign the peti

their side. OF course The postoffict
cannot be on both Isides of the rail
