Palmer, last Sunday morning.
We do not wish to criticise
and will merely call the attention
of our people to the fact that two
little children of one family, were
buried in the cemetery last Sun
day, with less than half dozer
attendants to assist in performing
the last. sad rites.
The Governor of MisSiss-
ippi declared that Sullivan and
Kilrain should not fight within
the borders of the state. But he
seems to have had the militia
posted Just where they would not
be likelr TO interfere. The Gov
ernor of Mississippi has a great
head.
1t now turns out that the
letters published in the Demo-
cratic papers of Lewis county in
regard to the Monticello post
office matter were written by a
mugwump, who wanted the office.
What pity that he dld not own
or at least have partnership In a
a paper, that he might have shown
himself up in his true light.
Two bogus doctors who
were gong about the country
guaranteeing to cure sick people
and taking their notes in payment
were exposed by the Lancaster
Excelsior week before last. The
exposure resulted in the arrest of
the doctors and the recovery of
several notes that had been given
them by prominent farmers of
Schuyler county.
--"Rambler" whose CORES
pondence from Mexico and Central
Amerca, has so delighted the
GRAPHIC read 9rs, has returned to
the United States. He has been
a constant traveller for eight years.
Dnring this time he has explored
the almost unknown regions of
Yucatan and other portions of
Central America, and row con-
templates an immediate trip to
Europe.
The two trained brutes,
Sullivan and kilrain fought for
the championship of the world at
Miss, last Monday
At the end of the sew
enty-ffth round kllrain threw up
the sponge. At the close Of the
fight both fighters returned to
New Orleans, and Sullivan pro-
ceeded to close the festivities by
going on big drunk. Ten years
IN the penitent1ary should be the
penalty for engaging in prize
fight. =.
The reunion will furnish
an excellent opportunity to adver-
tise kirksville. Let the town be
put in the very best condition for
the attraction and favorable COM
ment of visitors. Lime is cheap,
and where painting can not be
done, white washing will answer
every purpose. While KirksviIIe
has the name of being a beautiful
town, much can yet be done in the
four weeks that remain till the re-
union, to add to its beauty and at
Gre at good may yet come
out of the attempt to corner the
market on binding twine. A
fine-fber American single-twist
hemp, light and of extraordinary
tenacity has been produced. This
twlne will be put on the market |
next year at u cents or less per
pound. Machinery has also been
perfected for harvesting and
stacking grain. without binding.
1t is claimed that this machinery

Hon. Nick Bell, superin-

wants to be relieved of his posi-
