THE statement in a previous issue
of the Intelligencer that eX-COneress-
man Clardy would probably be asked
by the people of Ste. Genevieve county
to serve in the legislature, was made
upon the authority of n prominent
| southeastern politician, who does not,
however, reside in Ste. Genevieve.
He gave it as a good suggestion from
friends in MI. Clardy's county, and in
furtherance of the general proposition
that strong and c~onspicuOusly able
men should be asked to form a part of
the next legislature.
MARSHALL Dcmocrat-News: - The
appearance upon our streets of the
Hon. III. Clay Ewing, of Jefferson City,
reminds the scribe of Il dis inSuished
family or that name who were among
the early settlers of Logan county XIV,
and of which the Judge is a member.
In various public stations the Kentucky
Ewings have won well merited dis
tinctiOn. In congress and on the bench
they have reflected honor upon old
Logan and enjoyed national fame.
And it is with special pride that the
writer, who halls from that county,
observes the splendid record which the
Missouri branch of the name have
made in this state.
q. w. BURROUGHS, of Columbia,
tells the Herald: -"Many years ago,
when the country vas first beginning
to settle up, a heavy frost in August
injured the corn crop. When next
years seeding time came, but one man
In all the territory now embraced in
five or six counties had any corn of a
previous years raising. That man was
James Grant. Here was an Opportu-
nifty to grow rich at the expense of his
friends and neighbOrs but he was too
generous hearted for that. He sold
each man who applied TO him enough
corn for seed, and at the usual price,
only exacting e promise from each not
to ask for more than he intended to
plant and not To sell TO others. Men
came to Mr.. Graut Tor seed corn that
year as far as one hundred milcg, and
so long as his supply lasted he disposed
of it at The usual market rates. The
result was that everybody had enough
seed corn TO put in the usual crops.
There are men who would not have
besitated TO profit by Tie circumstance,
but Mr.. Grant was not thai sort Of n
man."
