the residence of the brides father, DIR. n. c.
Griffith, Patton. No., on Thursday, March
IS, 1896, Mr.. PETER r. CONRAD to Miss EN-
MA GRIFFITH. We wish them happiness.
The premises opposite the Academy of
Music have been beautifed and made CHEEKY
with new coat of paint, and we see evil
denees of a general movement over town to-
ward reftting, revanping and wbitewash.
The sidewalks are in bad condition; the
street lamps are not lighted. This conjuc-
ton makes an execrable condition of things
TO the belated wayfaring citizen of a dark
night. The councilmen to be elected next
Tuesday must be pledged to reforming this
state of affairs.
Rev. ID. NJ. Lee. of Reynolds county, is an
inmate of the Jail here. He drew pistol on
his tep-danghter, at Graniteville, a couple
of v eeks ago, and otherwise disturbed her
peace. For this he was arrested, tried, and
given thirty days in Jail, notwithstand-
ing he plead in his defence that at home he
was doctor, a preacher and justice of the
peace. Judge Dinger laid it down as a part
of the lea non SO. ipia that Rev. Lee, NJ. D.,
J. p, had no right to get drunk and raise h

| We have had occasion to take peep in-o
| what will hereafter known as The Bonanza,
at L. o. o. Z. Hall, and found The painters,
| carpenters and decorators hard at work TO
| have the store ready for the opening on April
| LIST. The place has been entirely renovated
throughout; the ceiling and walls have been
frescoed by Sig. Byiando, the painting and
g.'aining by Mr.. Pruitt, and the carpenter
work by Mons. Hogando. There will be
ladies' to ilet room connected with the store,
where ladies may fit themselves in foot-gear
without interruption. We understand the
mana cement will leave nothing undOne 10
make this bazaar mnst pleasant and attract
i've. The Bonanza certainly deserves the
goodwill and patronage of the community.
One of the important conditions of the
success of any school is constant attendance
upon the part OF ali pupils. This may be
called the condition; for on ii depend all
others. Our public school shows an i'm
provement within the past four years, ac-
cordiug 20 the school records, of at least 90
per cent. in this important matter. To-day
the school has the same enrolment that it
had three months ago, there being nearly one
hundred and eighty on the roll. We are in- |
formed that only few from each depart
ment have quit school. While keeping your |
children in school, regularly. till the close, is |
the duty of every patron, ii is one, when per- |
formed, that deserves commentator. We |
hope that the request of the Principal, made |
last week in our columns, 10 visit the school,
will not be UNDECIDED.
Some months ago the peaceful, contented
and happy home of Philip Pariso, near Black
river in this county, was invaded by the ira
ditionaI serpent, and in consequence his
household is now a wreck. One Strickland,
of Reynolds, is the serpent in this instance.
Pariso's family consisted Of himself, wife
and three children. One day Strickland
coolly informed Pariso that the youngest
child was his, $50, and the wife corrob-
GRATED her paramour's assertion. A separa-
ton foliowed-the woman taking the young
est, and Pariso the two elder children. Up
10 the time of the arrest of the guilty couple,
which took place several weeks ago, they
lived in open adultery. Their trial was had
before ESQUIRE Dinger, and resulted in con-
yiction, with fine of 500 each, and three
months in the county Jail. They appealed,
but, in default of bail, they are boarding at
the public expense while awaiting the COM
ing term of the circuit court.
We see it announced in the St. Louis Re
publican that the Hon. J. W. Bergman is a
candidate for the Office of State Senator from
this distric>. But we are sorry to have TO
slate that that announcement is untrue.
Though Mr.. Bergman has been solicited by
many of his friends to be q candidate; and
though he would, we think, be nominated
and elected; and though his experience and
ability fit him exceedingly well for the sta
ton: though he would do himself and the
district honor as its Senator, he will not be
a candidate. 1t is with sorrow we record
his decision. He was 4 schoolmate of the
editor, and the friendship of our youth has
never cooled. Born of an honorable family, I
reared in our midst, having lived with US :
always, his life and conduct have been such I
as 10 win the love of his neighbors and the (
respect of his aequaintances. BY his own
energy and business tact he has amassed 4
And it is not alone as private
citizen that he Is known and respected. He
has more than once represented our peo- {
pie in the legislature of the State of Mis- I
souri,, and his own refusal has been the only
cause of his not having more frequently
represented US. While a member of the
General Assembly of the State, he showed
that he was man Of ability, serving as
chairman of an important committee and
as member of many other committees, The
people of his county would be glad TO help
him 10 the Senate, and no man could better
represent them than could he, with his past
experience and his natural ability, in legis-
latinS upon the matters of vital importance
which will be considered at the next session
of the General Assembly. We need men OF
experience and ability to deal with the labor
and other questions then coming up; and,
not meaning to deprecate the ability of any I
other candidate, we nlust say that we can i'll
spare Nj. Bergman. But the die is cast:
he declines, and the others have the field be-
fore them.
