The young Democrats of
Missouri nominated David Il.
Francis for governor and in SO
doing they downcd the moss
backs. But Francis lives in a
palace and his brother democrats
say that he made his money deal

dicates that the young democracy
of missouri has on full head Of

Free trade would place
more of our money in the hands of
foreigners, while we already pay
them vastly too much. Last year

operatives more than 100000 a
week, which should have been dis
tributed among men living under
our own flag, working side by side
with US in the development OF our
country, helping US bear the cost
of government, buying the grain,
meat and wool produced by our
farmers and sharing with us the
duties, responsibilities, and glo-
ries of American citizenship.

Son of its editor concluded to stop
off and see if the town had left

and showing no indication of dY-

joys the privilege of a good
creamery owned by Crawford and
Marine. This has capacity of
four hundred pounds of butter
daily and is doing a driving busi-

the farmers as is attested by the
fact that Country butter is seldom
found on the market. This firm
also does q general merchandise
business, handling dry goods and
groceries and buying produce,
grain and seed.
The hardware business is new

young man of enterprise and
push. He has new stock of fine
hardware and is prepared to do all
kinds of repair work and roofing.
Bailey and Vaughn occupy two
rooms covering about fifty it. each

mill reminds us that wheat grow

knows good thing when he sees
it. His mill is fitted with new ma

and the building is three stories

work in flour and meal giving fair
satisfaction. Altogether the busi-
ness of Greercsstle shows that the
broken and hill lands of north
Missouri are not behind the prai-
ries in fertility when properly cul-
.ivated and developed. ..
