Surber Not a SOrehead.

MEXICO, Mo, Dec. 21-One Shields,
who sails under the sobriquet of
"Capt.,' who has been using himself
as a squirt-gun to squirt filth at such
of Mexico's citizens as had leisure tn
listen to him, took it on himself last
night to call certain people soreheads
who, in the discharge of their duties,
were compelled to make him obey
the laws by paying q concert license.
Now, l have lived in Mexico thirty
seven years, and my'head has never
been sore, MOI have l ever been pull
ed out of the ditch for drunkenness.
Other people with reputation fully as
good as Shields pay license for the
same thing he paid for, nothing more,
nothing less. The same measure that
is melted out to Shields is measured
to every other travelling minstrel, and
his show vas for pay, and as clearly
within the line of the law as contain.
ed in the ordinance as any Other

Big Spelling Bee.

According to previous arrange
ments, the Maple Grove school,
taught by J. N. Cross, paid a visit to
the Dooley school, S. D. Dawson,
teacher, last Friday evening.
The Maple Grove school fell
in line at their school house at l
o'clock. They numbered about 30
scholars, and were accompanied by a
few friends. The day was pleasant
and after a drive of As minutes they
landed at the Doolev school house,
where we were well received b. both
teacher and scholars.
After a few preliminaries a recess
of one hour was given during which
the boys engaged in a game of ball,
which ended in favor of Maple Grove.
After the game was over a spelling
match took place, school against
school, which also resulted III favor
of Maple Grove. The Maple Grove
people were then distributed among
the hospitable patrons of the district
for supper. At about z o'clock the
house was called to order by Prof.
Dawson and everything arranged for
a big spelling match between the two
neighborhoods. As near as we could
judge about fifty fell in line on each
side. Messrs. B. 0. Sims, L. s.
Hopkins and Charley Householder
were chosen as judges, and then the
fun began. At 9 O'Clock a recess was
given with about Is spoilers still
on the floor. The spelling closed at
10 o'clock in favor of Maple Grove,
with the following still on the floor:
Misses Annie Brown, Lizzie Brown,
Lena Hopkins, Mary Clapper, Mat
tie Fox and Jimmie Sims.
After the spelling some excellent
recitations were rendered by mem
bers of both schools, and a dialogue
by two little boys belonging to Prof.
Dawson's school. After the organIza-
ton of a literary society the au-
| dience was dismissed at 1890, with
general good feeling prevailing, we
think.
