AN 0BsERvER.-I suppose you have no.
ticed that for several days the wind has
been from the east with scarcely any
change. Let me give you little pointer
on this fact According to precedent,
this is an i'll omen. II is historical fact
that prior to and during the prevalence Of
great epidemics the wind blows from the
east. II is believed by many that the
present instance i'll prove no exception
to the general rule, and that the country
will shortly be visited by some terrible
epid- mic. This is not cheerful holiday
talk, but unde- the circumstances it can
not well be avoided"
A. c. Woedson, st. Louis-The Blue
Point oysters is q scarce article in this
section. and in fact in the east, where it
originates, Storms, enemies 10 It's own
element, and a VARIETY of causes have con-
spired to kill of the Blue Point, as we'll
as sev eral Other popular brands of bi-valves
The Blue Point is q y-ry small oyster,
aid of no better flavor than the Shrewsbury,
or otf brands. bnt it has the reputation,
and dealers palm of inferior products for
it. Talking about oysters, the biggest
edible oysters 10 the world are found at
Port Lincoln. 10 South Australia. They
are as large as a dir DER plate, and the same
shape. They are sometimes more than
foot across the shell, and the oy; er tiis the
shell so we'll he does not leave much mar
gin. 1t is new sensation, when a friend
asks you TO lunch at Adelaide, to have one
oyster set be side you (. led in butter or egg
and bread crumbs. But it is a We. pleas
an. sensation, TO the flavor and delicacy
of the Port Lincoln mammoths are proven
bisl in that land OF lu1uries.
Gilmer Gilbreath;-I carry the left hind
fcot OF gray rabbit in my left breeches
pocket The rabbit WIS caught in the
southwest correr of a country grave
yard at midnight, by negro as black as
the ace of spades, and as long as carry it
luck will never d 'ert me.
VIM. Pa-merlee;-I see mention has
been made OF r L. Gentry for mayor.
Now am not democrat but / have this
to say, as an unprejudiced observer: The
democrats could not nominate stronger
man for mayor than Dick Gentry. / am
a close observer of things and if Dick
Gentry is nominated he will make q race
that will astonish some of tie natives. In
that event the republicans will have to
nominate q very strong msn, and pull for
him like stayers. Blu. don't say told
you 80. This is my private opinion and Is
not for publication.
Mont Carnes.-The A. o. q. W. is in
creasing It's membership at a wonderful
rate. We hardly haye;,a meeting that several
new members are not initiated or proposed
for membership. The order is very popu-
lsr for many easous, and here In Central
Missouri, is growing all the time.
]. NJ, BYLER-If the people want a
or street pavement that will be
cheap, durable and perfect disinfectant,
let them look into the merits of the Read
ing asphalt. ] will venture the assertion
that can put down Q sidewalk OF this
all around the court house, and
The four approaches TO the main entrances
for $500. and at the most not over 500.
The citizens of Sadalia should look into
this asphalt sidewalk and paving material,
for beyond any doubt, il commends itself
to all for its extraordinary cheapness, Its
durability and its undoubted disinfectant
qualities. Look at the price of il. The
patentee says he can lay it down for 81.
Der square. That is less than half as much
as other psvements cost.
BUCK WILSON. DREsDEN.-California Is
q great country and there is lots Of money
10 be made there yet by the careful bust
ness man and judicious investor. Fortunes
change hands there still. They are not dug |
out Of gold mines as of yore but they can |
be made in other ways-slower and surer. |
The money is there and the people spenu
Is freely, too. They talk about it being |
,verdone, but no country is overdone
where there is plenty of msney. It a
raining out there now, but, take il the year
around, and California can't be beaten for
climate, scenery and fruits.
Judge Nevins.-Our town is booming /
light along. We have street cars, electric
lights, railroads, and all the ele.nsnts that
20 TO make prosperous town. Property
