1t being necessary to obtain some addi

made to south Belleview.
After school, October Sth, call was made
on Mr.. and Mrs. John ii. Wyatt. 1t would
be difficult to find another location equal in
| beauty to their residence. On Saturday
morning Mr.. Wyatt very kindly loaned me
very fine horse to ride over to Beleview

in the afternoon to Mr.. WAITS, where ]
made the acquaintance of Mess Berry.

On Sabbath morning call was made at
Liberty church and attention given to a SER
mo nby Rev. Hardy. The house, which is
quite llarge, was packed by an intelligent
and very orderly congregation. A congre-
CATION composed mainly of the same people

church at Belgrade, to hear the new minis

prepared to like the man, for 1 was very
strongly attached to his uncle, Mr.. Henry
Lubbock of Carroll county, Ind. If all three
of the clerical brethren referred to above,
will listen to a suggestion, kindly given, il
may aid them: In many passages of Script
ure where two clauses are joined by and, let
it be translated ever, so making the second
clause explanatory of the first. This will
unite great many knots in theology and
will bring light out of darkness and order
out of confusion.
In regard to news in the neighborhood /
have not heard of any births, deaths or mar
riages.
In regard to the school; the disorerly class
finding that bucking against "that old sar-
dine" does not pan out well is withdraw
ing from school. This will leave a splendid
school. In the meantime they are over
whelming the assistant teacher with social
attentions. They are doping her with soft
corn soaked in mild solution of arsenic.
That is, they are doing all in their power to
impair her success as teacher, while claim
ing to be her ardent friends. Considering
her youth she has excellent judgment and is
devoted to her work.
Politics is running high. There is public
speaking at Belgrade this afternoon. The
only question between the political parties
is who shall bold the offices. The bloody
shirt has been made over into shroud for
Brother Blaine.
When General Grant heard that Hood had
started northward after the fall of Atlanta,
he said that if he commanded both armies
he would not change the orders under which
Hood was acting. So if I was commanding
both political parties l would not change
the policy of the Democratic party in Mis-
souri,. From this it will appear that will
not take the stump.
President Cleveland aims to be true to the
good citizenship to annoy him with housing
criticism. When Missouri becomes doubt
full State, Federal patronage will flow into it.
The Prohibition element is likely to give
rise to some lively stradding among politi-
clans. AT last accounts Bro. Croker had
not materialized on that subject. For the
dominant party in Missouri there is disa-
greeable dilemma in that question. l have |
posted DR.. Newberry of Madison county, so |
that he will probably pass muster on that |
issue. On the county ticket in this county |
the race will be close. Both parties have |
put forward good men.
1t is well for young people to strive to eX-
eel in anything they attempt, and it is desir- |
able to be star performers, though it should |
