This, by the way, calls to mind a
singular omission from Webster's Un-
abridged Dictionary: the word sun
leavened" is not founi between It's
covers. This omission seems to m.
;nexcusable. The word matzos, COM

A mightier than General Grant,
who had known more of the smiles
and frOwn of fortune, turned in his
final hours to the Ruler of the univer-
verse and closed his stormy and terri
BILE career with submission to the God
who had raised him to power and az
forwards abandoned him to his own
devices. 1t is tn he hoped that Gen.

The young men of Missouri are
coming to the front. We have can
didates at every state convention TO
this or that element in poll
tics. The young men of The state
have thus far been ignored, but in the
future this course will not win. And
those who are now being prom
iDently spoken of as probable state
officer in the future, no name STANDS
more prominent than that of Speed
Stephens. of Boonville. He is cash.
Ter of the Central National bank, and
is regarded as an excellent accountant
and a No. / business man. He is
wealthy and liberal, is only 80 years
old, and there is not man of all bis
but who admires him
for his many manly qualities. His
name will yet be as familiar to the
people of the state as that of his re-
spected father. Speed Stephens is not
in the field as a candidate, but mark |
it, when he does be will make trouble |
for those who oppose him.-Lamar
Democrat.
