Notes.

day Is forever past when its average
citizen Gun exist without something
of a sensational nature to quicken his |
pulse-beat, hence it is that there Is |
something constantly stirring and
"the paper for the people now on
earth" is in great demand. Just at
present the chief topic is the probable
outcome of the great strike, and the
latest news from its locality is eagerly
sought for. AS an outgrOwth of the
strike q number of heavy orders for
goods have heen forwarded to s..
Louis with instructions to
SHIP BY STEAMER,
and somewhere between here and is
mouth a staunch steamer, the Seen.
Meade" is supposed to be now labori-
ously putting towards the Benton
county metropolis. For two days
past all have anxiously listened for
the welcome sound of It's whistle,
which has not yet been heard. Whether
she is hard aground upon some shoal
or sand bar, or has been deferred
from coming because of the rapid fall
ing of the water, is not known but
it is painfully evident that she has
not yet appeared. She is said to be
laden with about 1000 barrels of salt
and large quantity of other goods.
RIVER CONVENTION.
In the same connection is mentioned
the recent river convention of dele
gates from the Usage Valley, just ad-
iourned at Jeff rsOn City, and from
which DIR. S. X. Crawford, the genial
ex-representative of Benton county,
and delegate of Benton and Hickory
counties to the convention, returned

signal for
A GRAND OVATION,
which held him for two hours down
town to tell his eager fellow citizens
the result Of the meeting, which ne
did in the most enthusiastic manner,
assuring them the convention was one
of the largest, most earnest. and
most successful he ever saw. The
doctor firmly believes it will be the
means of securing large appropria-
ton for the improvement of the river.
Another side issue is
THE BIGANY SENSATION
in which Henry Berry figures as the
leading man. Berry is still IN Jail.

when his attorney, Mr.. Lay, says ne

Warsaw, under the impetus OF
the narrew gauge, still con-
: tinues to advance IN pop
ulation, thrift, wealth and hand,
some edi6ces, and is enjoying a full
share of the trade of the land. Her
splendid brick and. pottery clay, how
: ever are as yet lying almost idle, and

tered upon the prosperity her vast
:, resources are certain to ultimately
bring.
70 MAKING IMPROVEMENTS.
e In the absence of any probable
early extension of her railroad, tn
j citizens are pushing splendid count,
.e road south Of the river and preparlni
n a free ferry to secure the immens
traffic which lies in the fertile vale,

:, boom in Warsaw and vicinity. .
A heavy thunder storm and rainta
is prevailing in this section to-hlgh

already springing up, into rapl

valleys will be clothed in rich emel
