Carthage Mirror: The outlook for
a harmonious Democratic unity has
not been so fiattering for years in Ten
nessee. There seems to be a general
determination on the part of all good
Democrats to abide the action of the
next State convention, and then work
and labor for the old time 10000 to
10000 majority. The independents,
such as were at any time Democrats,
have fallen into line, the others, they
are still and will remain Republi-
cans.

S, 1884. The deed was made by
Thomas WATSON and his wife Eliza.
beth WATSON to Henry NJ. Sigman to
four hundred acres of land lying just
north of Beaman in section 16, town
ship 46 and range 20. The consii-
Grafton was fity-fve dollars. The
deed was acknowledged on May q,

The paper on whi' the instrument is
written is brown yfh age and the
blue lines on the ordinary foolscap
is faded entirely out. Where this
document has been the past forty-two
years is quite a mystery and also a
greater mystery why it was not put
on record before, but better late than
never.

Nearly a Serious Accident.

Frank Long. a small boy and a
brother of W. j. Long, proprietor of
the West End Grocery on Second
street, had a narrow escape from seri-
Gus injury yesterday afternoon. He
went to a row of shelving on the
west side of his brothers store for
something, and not being tall enough
to reach what he wanted, climbed up
by taking hold of a shelf. While he
was holding to the shelf the whole
row toppled over, scattering canned
fruits and other goods in every direc-
ton except upward. Fortunately for
the boy the shelving struck pyramid
of cans on the counter, thus saving
his neck. The damage in the way of
breakup is estimated at $50.

He Shot at Him.

Last night at nine o'clock as Abe
Robinson, colored porter at Kaisers,
was passing along the street north of
the Missouri Pacific track near the
Catholic church, he met Sam Flem-
ing, another celored man. Fleming
blazed away at Robinson with a re-
volver and took to his heels. The
supposed cause for the shooting is,
that night before last Robinson pre-
vented Fleming from beating little
colored girl for something she had
done. The bullet passed through
Robinsonis coat collar but did not
touch him. Fleming had not been
captured at an early hour this morn

BEAN EATING BELLIES.
Twenty-Seven Boston Beauties
En- Route to California.

A Towers IL Raymond excursion
party in two special cars, from BOs-
ton en- route to Pasadena, California,
passed through the city on the early
morning train yesterday. This ex.
cursioni is somewhat unique in its
character although it is not the first
one of the kind, by any means, that
has passed through the city.
The party consisted of twenty
seven girls en- route to the coast, os-
tensibly to work in Raymond's hotel
at Pasadena, but in reality to re-
enforce the matrimonial market. The
women understand In an indirect way
that they are to be provided with
husbands and seem to be perfectly
willing to run the risk of the new
responsibilities they are about to incur.
The chance of getting a husband In
duces them to pay the cheap excur-
sion rates to the coast.
There they are promised employ
ment until they are applied for by
some young ranchman for a wife.
Women are in great demand, and are
picked up almost as soon as they ar
rive. The ranchmen and others seek
ing wives also pay some kind of a
royalty to the agents for the privilege
of getting the first pick of the bloom
ing beauties as each new bevy ar
rives.

No, girls, there is no good reason
why you should do this 49,
First-The BAzoo must have the
consent of your parents or guardians
to publish the advertisements.
Second-You have quite a number
of marriable young men in Schell
City, who are needing wives. For
instance, there is DR.. Haire, if he is
not already been spoken for, by Moore
than one, and others that the BAzoo
could name.
Third-Perhsps some of the wag.
gish girls of Sedalia would answer
your letter and make you believe
that they were dead in love with you,
and then when you discovered the sex
of your correspondent, you would feel
as if you would want to hit her with
a broom-stick sharpened at both ends.
Fourth-Catching fish with such a
net is dangerous practice for the
fish, let alone the chances that might
Overtake the one who manipulated the
net through the columns of a public
journal.
To the three young ladies of Schell
City:
Ask your mothers the solemn ques-
ton if it is not dangerous practice
and then write their answer to the
BAzoo and we will have them turned
over to the taxidermist for future
preservation.
Good by girls.

WHAT is THE NATTER.
Schen City Girl sTurn Themselves
Loose

Here is the Bazoo, girls, a yard
vide and all silk.
How do you do anyhow, and does
your mothers know that you wrote
the following letters?
Did your mothers advertise TO get
your fathers?
No, not by large majority.
Your father came in the good old
way on the outside of a trusted critter
m saddle astride.
He wore his first standing collar
and your mothers mother interroga-
ted him as to how his mother was
getting along making apple butter.
Then the old man sat cross legged,
with his specks on the tip end of his
nose, asked all about everything from
the number of calves he had to the
prospect of the election.
Then after supper, when the tea
things were out of the way, the
younger kids tucked in the trundle-
bed, and the old man had yawned
several times, your mothers and
fathers sidled off into the tother room
and snapped stores and exchanged
spit until very late, ard possibly I'M
.seasOnable hour, when you father got
out the critter and left for home.
while the young chicken cocks were
giving him a serenade.
They kept this up as long as was
necessary and your mother thought
a great deal longer than was really
needful for the welfare of all con-
cerned.
And here are these letters, received
yesterday, which explain themselves {:
