Editor Sewer has the following COM
ment in the Neosho Times:
"Col. Hodges, in charge of the
quartermaster's depot at JeffersonvilIe,
| Ind, has issued orders that ever seam
stress obtaining work in the depot
must furnish proof that her husband,
or other relations OH whom she de-
pends, were soldiers in the late war.
| This order is enough TO make yaller
" blush to own America as his birth
plice."
Not quite 80 bad as that, Major. The
country is all right. 1t is only Tanner
ism that is outrageously rampant and
disgusting. Wait until 1892.
So
The Norborne Enterprise editorially
| says, in an article calling attention TO
the obsructed highways of Carroll
county:
| 1.-THE legislature should pass law
making il misdemeanor for any farm
er to allow the weeds TO grow up along
The highways that pass along or through
| heir farms. This matter should have
legislative cognizance as il is one of the
greatest nuisances that is endured by
our people. The weeds should be cut
lown by. the first of August each year,
if not before; and, by 80 doing, in a
few years the public ro6ds OF our state
would be free from the weedy nuisance
and in the place OF the sun flower and
hemp weed we would have splendid
carpet oi as fine blue grass as could be
found in the universe. There are roads
? III this county that are, to-day, so com
pletely taken with weeds that they
have all but closed up the public high
way, and II two wagons or buggies
nave TO pass they have to be pulled
through rank growth of weeds shat
are higher than the top OF an ordinary
vehicle"
Where is the overseer? Has he for
gotten his duties, or does he deem his
: authority limited in this respect? If
I the latter, then he will be in his glory
after the first of November for the last
4 general assembly took up this matter of
1 weeds in the public highways, and
d made it not only the "duty OF every
road overseer TO keep all roads in his
I district clear of all obstructions, and
' cause TO be cat down and removed, be-
d tween the 10Th day of July and the 10Th
ID day. of August, all weeds or other OBJ
= structions calculated to impeded or in
'e terrupt travel thereon" but provided
y also that any person failing or refusing
81 to cut down and remove such weeds, ,af- :
ter due notice by the overseer, should
!, be liable to indictment and a fine of
not less than $5 nor more than Sl00-
!. 1t is believed the proper enforcemepf
il OF the new m ade laws next gear will
N give Missouri the best highways on the
II continent.
D. Mrs. M. M. Show, the charming
widow who edits the Mexico UnioI
