what They are Saying in Their
Papers.
Editor Stephens, of the Columbia
Herald, spent the week at the Baptist
at Jefferson City, but he
returned home in time to make the fol-
lowing important announcement:
"The next meeting of the Missouri
state board of agriculture will be held
in Columbia on November and z, and
will be an occasion of great Importance
in the state. A full attendance of the
members of the board, fourteen in
number, is expected. Gov. Francis,
who is eG 0tict0 a member, has notified
Secretary Chubbuck of his purl ose to
be present. The secretary is ALTO in
receipt of letters from representative
men from all parts of the state promis-
ing to be here. He expects the meeting
10 be the most important one that has
ever been held by the board of agricul-
ture. Only one thing will be necessary
to insure this, and that is sufficient in
terest on the part Of the citizens of
Columbia and Boone county to induce
them to attend the meeting i'm large |
numbers. The meeting will be public |
and the addresses and exercises will be
of such character that farmers cannot
fail to be Interested"

Editor Buchanan, of the Bowling
Green Post, prints the following pretty
paragraph:
go, these golden, gorgeous autumn
days. These cloudless skies and sun
bright grovesl Do you catch frequent
glimpses of the ever-chaDging glories
that crown the woodlandf The frost
king and matchless painter whose skill
shames the art OF man has begun his
trIumphal annual march. How. eagerly
we watch for the advent OF his autumn
nal glOries. From the first mild tintlngs
OF the woodlands until he puts on their
full rich robes OF crimson and gold his
pictures are series of everchanging and
ever increasing delights. But we do
not enjoy the fullness of autumn splen.
dors except for day or two at most
when they begin to fade and are soon
lost in the somber hues of winter"
Editor Bob White pays a deserved
compliment to public officer, as fol-
lows, in the Mexico Ledger:
"Lee Meriwether, state labor statis-
tician, was in Mexico Friday and made
us a pleasant call. Meriwether is in
hearty accord with the administration,
and is working day and night to make
his department just what it should be.
He is active in his work and systematic
in his endeavors, and we think will
accomplish much for the working
classes and for the state"

Editor Fisher prints this interesting
item in the Pennington Times:
"It is said that the new lead mines
in Madison county purchased by S. F.
Clouser, the original owner of the Jop-
lin lead property, has turned out to be
immensely rich. Mr.. Clouser is very
wealthy man and one of the largest
lead mine owners in Missouri"
| Editor Baldwin has the following
editorial paragraph in the Sedalia
Gazette;
"Governor Francis, with his usual
clear-cut and forcible expression, points
out one OF the greatest reasons why St.
Louis or some western city should get
the worlds fair. 1t is the hospitality
of the west against the selfishness of
the east, and it is powerful argument.
The frank cordial y OF welcome ex-
tended by all western cities to their
visitors carries with it charm which
goes far toward making up the plea
sure of the guests.

Editor Knott, of the Hannibal Jour-
nal, thus indulges in bit OF pleasan-
try:
Editor Cook, of the Mexico Intelli,
gencer, has suddenly become railroad
magnste-at least he is possessed OF
three street cars and lot of iron
railroad iron; spikes, railroad spikes
and cross-ties, railroad cross ties, which
he purchased at constable sale day OF
two ago, the property having formerly
belonged to the Mexico street railroad
company which died "a bornin" Sans
railroad will no doubt draw the mex
, meeting of the Northeast Missouri edi-
toral convention to Mexico. The
, "boys" will all want to see railroad
operated by ali editor"

a Editor Ferrill, OF the Boonville Ad
vertiser, prints this interesting item:
Col. Steve Cooper, of Boonsboro
a Howard county, was in the city, Satur
day. He carries an empty sleeve, nav
v ing lost his arm at the desperate batil
4 of Corinth, October 3, 1868. Colone
Cooper, who then commanded com
pany, was strack by ball while lead
:. ing his men in a charge, on the firs
afternoon of the struggle. The follow
ing day his company came out of tn
storm of shot and shell, commanded b
a corporal, all the officers having bee
either killed or wounded. Col. Coope
rode a distance of one hundred an
fifty miles on horseback, after his arr
was shattered, and before it becam
necessary to amputate it. No man i
Missouri stands higher in the regard I
his fellow citizens than does our ga
liant one-armed friend from the gran
old county of Howard"
