FRIDAY, SEPT iMBER 6. lssa.
A number of negroes, have |
been murdered in Mississippi this
week, 1t viii now be seen how
much difference there is between
murder and prize-fighting in MISS
issippi.
1t was stated by the Demo-
crat aud journal last week, that it
takes majority of all the votes
in the county to adopt the law re-
straining sheep and swine. Such
is not the fact. A majority of the
votes cast decides the question.
There will be a meeting of
the Adair county Farmers ALI
ance at Masonic Hall Saturday,
Sept. 6 at 3 o'clock p m. We be-
lieve that much good has already
been accomplished by the Farmers
Alliance; but what has been ac-
complished is only beginning of
what may be done. That there
may be concert of action,
and that the influence for
good may be extended, steps
should be taken to form a State
Alliance.
Hon. John A. Picker of
Faulkton, South Dakota, was
nominated for Congress by ac-
clamation, Thursday of last week.
In thus honoring Mr.. Pickler,
South Dakota has honored her
self Adair county, too, feels
honored. While Mr.. Picker has
been e resident of Dakota for a
number of years, it was here that
he spent his young man hood, and
began career that now promises
TO be as brilliant as it has ever
been honorable.
- -Four large eartLenware
manufacturers of the Siaffordshi1e
potteries of England will close
their works and come to New Jer-
sey. They will bring their pa
terms, models and secrets with them
and establish a business in the
United States. The reason for
this move is, it has ceased to pay
to manufacture earthenware IN
England, ship to the United
States and pay duty on it. This
Is only in keeping with the Re-
publican declaration that a pro-
tective tariff would bring foreign
manufacturers and foreign capital
to this country, until the United
States become the manufacturing
center of the world.
There will be an Editorial
Convention, composed of thsI
editors of Northeast Missouri,
held at Hannibal, September 13 |
and IA. The object of the con-
vention is to devise means where-l
by immigration may be attracted |
to Missouri. 1t is acknowled-I
ged by all, who have taken the
trouble to investigate, that Mis-
souri, is the finest state in the
Union. Rich in mineral and apri-
cultural resources and all thatl
goes to make a great state. it is
fitting that some step should be
taken to place the advantages ofI
Missouri before the world. Butt
1t should be kept in mind that one
OF the greatest obstacles to pro-
gresslon that Missouri has ever
had to contend against, has been
the Press of the state. This
should never have been SO, and a
movement of the press to dissi-
pate the falsehoods and overcomeI
the ISLANDERS that have been spoken
and written of our grand Common
wealth, will be hailed with delight
ON every hand. The proceedings
of the convention will be watched |
with interest. Il
The editor of the Journal
complained last week that no re-
port of the kirksville reunion was
sent to the st Louis papers. From
his own criticism of the affair, af-
ter 1T was over, one would think f,
that 1t was not worthy report in a
any paper. That justice NAV be a
done the st Louis papers, We will 7
state that short report of the a
proceedings appeared in their col s
umns each day. The entire re- ]
ports, as sent, were not published, t
