UNION, Mo-, May 1s.-Oats and
corn are looking splendid.
Joe Crews had his hand badly Bit
ten by a red fox one night last week.
Jasper Berry left last Monday for
bloody Kansas with a view to loca-
ting.
Union boasts of as good a Sunday
School as there is in the county with
j. r. Hodge as superintendent.
1t is our painful duty this week to.
chronicle n of the most horrible
accidents that ever occurred in this
community. On last Wednesday morn
ing about 8 o'clock, this vicinity was
thrown into excitement by the report
that j. B. jesse, a promising young
farmer, had killed himself while out
squirrel hunting. Your correspondent
at once proceeded to the scene of the
terrible tragedy and found 1t was
only too true. From those first upon
the scene we CLEANED the following:
His wife says he took his gun "a small
single barrel shot gum about seven
o'clock and started out TO hunt squir-
rels, telling her he would be back in
a few minutes to go fishing with her.
He had hot been gone long before
she heard the report of q gun and
looking out of the window she saw
the smoke of the gun not more than
$50 yards from the house. Thinking
that there were no squirrels hat near,
she went out to see what he was
shooting at; she could not see him
and called him. He did not answer
she went closer and saw him lying on
his back and called HIM again. She
then looked and saw blood on his
head. His wife ran to Mr.. Fosters and
gave the alarm, when friends arrived
and the coroner was sent for, a jury
was summoned and their verdict was,
that j. b. Jesse came to his dealt
by a gun shot wound in the head by
his own hands. The jury was j. B
Moore. John Crum, John Waters, J
Z. Green, II. c. Calvert and Robt
Lockridge. The jury did not stat
whether they thought it was aeciden
tai or suicide. Nearly every one arount
here think it was accidental as N,
cause can be attributed for hin
taking SO rash a step. He was il
comfortable circumstances, he having
purchased a nice little homestead o
40 acres and moved on it the first o
last March. Mr.. jesse was a son
|, n-law of r. A. Byrns, known to ey
erybody in the county. He vas
young mar of excellent habits and
, member of the Baptist church vel
/ liked by all who knew him. H
was "a years of age and had beeI
married three years. His wife is a

LADDoNIA, Mo, May is, 1885,
The streets were crowded with people
last Saturday. The rain the night
before prevented farmers from plow-

that every body came to town. 1t
vas a big days trade for Laddon,a.
At night the drama my Brothers
Keeper" was played by home talent
to a crowded house, the proceeds of
which were divided equally between
the Christian Aid Society and the
Band. Many farmers are through
planting corn and some are cultiya-
ting. Crops look fine in the neigh
borhood, and the prospect so far was
never better.
The vote for the 'loan'' for the
new school house was taken last Sat-
urday, and all voted for it, and now
Laddonla will soon have o first-class

Audrain County Signal.

f. ID. Graham has our thanks for
a copy of the Audrain County Signal
of the date of August p, 1858. The
Signal was then two years and forty
eight weeks old. We presume this
is the Oldest copy of an Audrain
county paper in existence. Jos. c.
Armistead, who now lives just west
of Mexico, was editor. In looking
over it We recognized many familiar
names; Clark & McIlhany were real
estate agents; Pasqueth& Cunning
ham were harness makers; W. M.
Cornforth ran a wooden factory; n.
Lakeland was a leading merchant /;
S. A. Craddock and NJ. McIlhany
advertised as lawyers; Northcutt &
Co. carried a big ad; Republicans
were designated as "black Republic
cans; no coal oil was sold in Mex
leo then and star candles were all
the go-quite a contrast with Lew
ellyn's electric light; III. Y. Duncan
was president of the board of trustees
of Audrain Christian seminary; Rich
ard Phillips was a candidate fol-
county Judge; Joseph Lupton was
in the furniture business; John
Saunders advertised as a piasterer
G. H. Lander was merchant tailor
T. Tincher was a blacksmith j. w
Mckee was a leading merchant; 4
4. Sparks run a hardware store; S
n. Edwards "a a lending member O
the bar; the officers Of the Mexico

Excursion TO Fulton.

In response to a cordial invitation,
extended by Wallace Williams, of
the Fulton Telegraph, quite a num-
Der of the visiting editors took a
pleasant excursion to that place last
Thursday and visited the state in
situations.
Fulton is one of the most wealthy
and beautiful towns in the state, and
what is more, is getting out of its
slow habits and is coming to the
front.
Carriages were at the depot and
took the party all over the city and
to the two state institution, the man.
agements of which are most excel
lent. At l p. m. a most royal dim
ner was enjoyed at the Palace Hotel,
which is run by the prince of hotel
men, Dick Worrell, who is famous
all over the West as the best on
earth. He is ably assisted by Mrs.
Worrell, who is one of the most
pleasant and hospitable little ladies
we V e met. Although the dinner
was, by all odds, the best any of us
has enjoyed for months, Col. Wor-
rell would not take a cent in pay
from any of the party, bearing the
entire expense himself. Such men
make a town a city, and in the long
run, lose nothing by being liberal and
encouraging the use of printers ink
We are glad to be able to say that
there is a prospect of getting Mr.,
and Mrs. Worrell to reside in Mexi.
co and run a hotel. After passing
resolutions thanking Wallace Will
liams, Mr.. and Mrs. Worrell and the
G. & A. r. r. for ~favors, and re
commenting to the Legislature the
erection of an infrmary for the In
sane Asylum, the party left foI
