Editor Stephens, speaking of the new
dean of the law department of the
State University, says in his Columbia
Herald:
'.All over Missouri Judge Martin IS
recognized as an exceptionally able
jurist. In 1888 he was appointed n
member OF the supreme court commits
sion, and, while in that office, his
decisions were marked both for their
learning and justice and for remark.
able perspicuity and terseness OF state
ment. Under his management the sue
cess OF the law department is assured,
and If the curators will be as successful
in their selection of president their
| work will be well done indeed. Judge
Martin is native of Mississippi, and a
graduate of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and
also of the Harvard University law
school. He has lived in st. Louis since
1908. He accepted the appointment and
| will enter upon his duties On Novem-
Der 4. He will be in Columbia this
week."
Editor Balthis was too busily engage
ed in writing advertisements for his
prosperous Huntsville Herald, last
weck,to write any editorial Matter, but
he compromised on the following para
graph:
"Mr. b. E. Knight laid on our table
on Thursday last a mammoth radish of
his own raising, which measured 23t
inches in length aud IL inches in cir
cumference, and weighed 81 pounds.
"Uncle Benz thinks this pretty good
specimen even for Missouri soil, but if
any one can beat it, ne promises to
come again next season."

Speaking of the untold resources of
Missouri soil, the editor of the Edna
Democrat, in q spirit of historical accu.
racy, prints the following clever story:
"Mr. John G. Herriott from near
Novelty, brought us some peaches last
week which were the finest we have
seen this season and of which he gave
as the history. Twenty years ago while
he and his wife and two children were
on their way to Knox be purchased
| two peaches, one for each of his chill
dren. He saved and planted the seed
and from those two peaches he now has
quite large orchard and has sold this
year several wagon loads of peaches,
besides canning, preserving and drying
a great many"
Editor Robertson thus describes, i'm
the GaIlatin Democrat, the situation in
Harrison county:
"ln the appointment of Gen. Prem
tiss as postmaster at Bethany, Presi-
dent Harrison has outraged all prece-
dents by ignoring Andy j. Fuller, the
candidate chosen by a large majority
OF the patrons of the office. DR. Fuller
was so sure of securing the appoint
ment that he had erected a building In
which TO put the Office and had made
all arrangements to don the robes of
office. We have some idea of the bar
mony that prevails in republican circles
OF Harrison county"

The Pennington Times prints the
following editorial apology, which is
accepted:
awe suggest to the Lexington Intel
ligencer that we are not responsible for
the "scissoring' with which it taxes
the Times, setting forth the extraordi.
nary authority alleged to have been
exercised by our gallant young COVER
nor in conferring upon Emily Paxton,
OF Pike county, the privilege of wear
ing trousers, in order that she might
follow her favorite pastime of breaking
horses"
The Nevada Noticer has this bright
and sparkling truth to tell:
"The old confederates and Johnnie
Rebs honor and promote their soldiers,
be it said to their credit, while the
republicans resOlute and use the fedora
soldiers as voters, but give the Offices
10 the stay-at-hOme patriots and boys
of the party. In this the rebels are
worthy of emulation"
The DeKalb Herald prints the fol-
lowing as clever thrust at Editor
Bates:
"Gov. Francis appointed Nj. A. Bates,
editor of the Worth County Times, AS a
delegate to the deep water convention.
We are glad to see brother editor
thus honored. Moreover, Bates is
perfectly familiar with deep water. He
tried to sound the depths of Lake Con.
trary on certain occasion, and after
being tished out of the water by some
one his clothes wouldn't fit him. The
soaking he got swelled him and he was
laid out on the sandy beach until the |
heat of the sun shrunk him to his nor
NAL size. 1t is good appointment"
y
The Pennington Times thus discusses
an important and ever-recurring ques-
ton:
"The New England manufacturers
now want free trade in raw material to
save them from bankruptcy. Very
well; let them join with the democrats !
of the west and consent to free trade in |
manufactures and the necessaries of
life. and they can get what they want.
Its poor rule that works to the advan
tage of only one class"~

Editor Ewing has the following in a
recent issue OF the Jefferson City Tri-
bune:
"Gov. Francis has proven himself
well nigh omnipresent dnring the past
week. On Monday last he, as presi-
dent of the worlds committee, ,att ended
meeting of the committee IL ST.
Louis. On Tuesday he was at his desk
