Greentop Crumbs.

The weather is very warm and
dry, rain being needed badly.
Harvest is in full blast. Wheat
and oats are good crop and the
grass is going to be very heavy.
lice and Parker are having a
nice glass front put in their store
room. And thus improvements
go on In our town.
The 4th in Greentop was a
grand success. The festivities of
the day opened by firing 43 salutes
in the early morning. About
seven o'clock wagons began COM
ing IN from all directions, and by
$50 O'Clock there was a large
crowd gathered. At $50 the pro-
cession commenced forming. In
front was tie AIoulton Iowa Band,
then came the large float bearing
~ little girls, each dressed in
white with a sash Of red, white and
blue; wearing cap with the
abbreviation letters of the states,
they represented.
On two raised seats on top were
two larger girls, one representing
the Goddess of Liberty and the
other Columbia.
This float was drawn by six
horses and presented a most beau
tiful appearance. Following next
to the float was Uncle Sam dressed
IN his appropriate costume, seated
upon cart drawn by long cared
animal commonly called an ass.
| Then came vehicles of all kinds
until there was procession over
mile long, which marched to the
grounds, a beautiful grove, one
mile north of town, where it was
found about 1000 people had
assembled. At the stand sthe
exercises of the day were opened
by song (America) by glee club.
The invocation was offered by Rev.
Smedley OF Greentop. The Declar-
alton was read by j. W. Mcknight
after which the Grafton of the day
was delivered by Hon. c. C. FogIe
OF Lancaster. By this time 1t was
twelve o'clock and every body
brought forth the many good
things that had been prepared for
the occasion, and enjoyed them
selves by partaking OF sumptu-
GUS dinner. At two o'clock the
band called the people together
again around the stand, after which
the glee club rendered the song
1916" IN a very spirited manner.
The address in the after noon was
delivered by Rev. Smedly.
The last performance on the
grounds was the enacting of
wild West Scene" by a company
OF young men representing indians,
and another company represent,
ing cowboys, Or rangers. The |
scene was the capture of an emf
grant wagon and those in charge
OF it by the Indians, and then the
recapture by the rangers. This
was very amusing and made con-
siderable fun. After this was !
over the people returned to town,
where there was a nice assortment
of fire works to be burned at
night.
This however unfortunately.
through the carelessness of some
one, proved to be failure. Those
who had charge of this part of the
let the whole box Of
material for the pyrotechnic dis
olay catch fire. There was q
lively display for a short time. but +,
t was not long enough. So much ,
or carelessness. Excepting this :
verything went off nicely and ac- f;
ording to arrangement. 8

HON. u. W. LAWS.
We clip the following bio
graphica; sketch of our represen-
tative in the State Legislature
from the Jefferson City Tribune
of June IL:
Rev. Josiah w. Davis, who rep
resented Adair county in the
thirty fifth general assembly, was
born in Clay county, Indiana, Oct.
5, 1910. His father was promi-
nent physician of Ind, who died
in 1S49, and from a period dating
three years later, Josiah has made
his own way in the world. He
was educated in Bowling Green,
Ind, and moved to Schuyler coun-
ty, Mo-, in 1859, where he engag-
ed in teaching until the war
broke out. When there came a
call for volunteers, he enlisted in
company B. Twenty first Missouri
U. S. infantry and followed the
fortunes of that company until
1866. At the great battle of Shi-
lob he was third sergeant of the
company, and after that battle was
unanimously elected captain to
fill the vacancy caused by the res
ignation of the former captain and
first lieutenant. At Tupello, Miss,
Capt. Davis led the left wing of
his division in a charge against
superior numbers. He had charge
of the first federal boat that went
up the Tombigby river at the
close of the war, taking a load of
prisoners and carrying news of
peace. During the fall of 1865 he
was sent from Mobile to Sparta,
Ala, to capture or disperss a
gang of marauders who were tel
rifying the community-a duty
which he successfully accomplish
ed, and had the honor of taking
one of the leaders who was armed
with two revolvers, by himself,
Captain Davis being at the time
unarmed.
After the war closed he return
ed to Schuyler county and engaged
in farming and teaching, and COM
menced preaching in 1874, being
successful in each line. During
the twelve years that followed 1874
he did not miss being in the pull
pit a Single Sunday when able to be
there. In 1882 Rev. Davis NOV
ed to Kirksville, Adair county
and subsequently devoted his en-
tire time to the ministry, until
elected to the Legislature in 1856.
The nomination was unsought on
his part, and. in evidence that his
Legislative work was satisfactory
to his constituents he was returned
to the Thirty fifth general assem-
bly, with four fold majority. He
is conscientious voter, a staunch
republican and a pleasant, sociable
gentleman.
Mr.. Davis was married in 1866
to Miss G. NJ. Vanhoutin, Of Edgar
county, III. Among his relatives
who have acquired a national fame,
he numbers Hon. John G. Davis.
of Indiana.
Mr.. Davis had the misfortune to
represent one of those counties in
which is located one of those
grand institutions-a State Nor
NAL School. He has always
fought earnestly and zealously for
the support of the educational in
stitutions of the state for which
the people at large and his imme-
diate , nejghbors will always hold
him In high esteem. On all Iegis-
lation beneftting the people Mr.. |
Davis voted aye, and he was not |
SO welded to the political party as |
to forget the masses for the sake
OF making partisan record.

Hon. Nick Bell, superin-
tendent of Foreign Mails, has in
formed the President that he
wants to be relieved of his posi-
ton as he can not consistently
hold it longer having been ap-
pointed as a democrat by a demo-
cratic administration. This re-
quest of Mr.. Bell has the true
ring. 1t is the sort Of civil-service
reform that commands party re-
spect. But what a contrast these
frank and manly words of a true
democrat furnish when compared
withthe sickly pulling of repub-
llcan mugwump, who wants demo-
Gratis retained in office. Though
hypocritically done to get demo-
cratic sympathy, it will receive
only the undisguised contempt of |
ali democrats of the Nick-Bell |
tripe.

WANTS TIT ARATED.

A Complainant Speaks for Numberless
 Cttfxens-Shall our Streets Re Clean
 on Sunday2
 Tothe Editor O the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Merchants along the business portion of Chapel street, and those who are interested in the good appearance of the city in general, are much annoyed by handbills and dodgers which are given out by boys on the street on Saturday nights. These are all thrown upon the walk by those who receive them and there they remain. The streets are not swept on Sunday mornings and thus it hap- pens that Chapel street on Sunday is the worst filtered street in the city. Sometimes the street from State to Temple is dotted
 with papers of all descriptions. These are
 blown by the wind in one way and another
 and trampled upon till they present very
 filthy sight for church-goers on Sunday.
 A citizen in speaking of the nuisance Sum-
 day night, said that there was no law by
 which the distributing of bills upon the street could be prevented in this city. Other cities Of any size have all seen the need of legislation in this direction and have passed laws by which the streets may be left free from such an influx of paper and advertise nent. The only thing that the police car do here IS 10 oroer those glVluS out 6ucL bills to move along when they keep in one place.
 There surely is great need of action in thif matter if the principal thoroughfare of the city is to have respectable appearance upo1 the Sabbath. Many prominent merchant have expressed their interest in seeing some thing done immediately and move to sup I press the nuisance would be supported b. all those having business connections witl ! the street as well as by preponderatinl majority of our best citizens. s.

Colonel IngersoII,s Story.


 sI'll tell you story, boys," said Colonel Ingersoll, while waiting for the Kerr jury to come in Friday afternoon.
 Colonel Fellows, Lawyer Bird, MT. Kerr and the reporters leaned forward expectantly.
 s'During the gold days in California," con- tinued the colonel, Git was the law that the holder of claim should be liable to lose it if he let it remain idle for ten days in suc- cession. Well, there was one fellow who had been working faithfully when he fell sick and had to take to his tent. Another fellow came along and jumped his claim. The first man pleaded and argued, but the other was not to be moved. So when the first man recovered he sued the interloper. s'The case came up before the justice. He was very sorry, he told the plaintiff, but the law was absolute on the question, and the defendant could not be busted. No sooner had he finished than the plaintiff jumped up and hit the defendant a stinging blow behind the ear. The defendant fell over and the plaintiff jumped on him and began to pum- mel him soundly. The constable ran up and was trying to part the fighters when the judge arose, and, pounding on the desk yelled to the constable:
 "-- - you, sfr, leave them alone The law is the law, but if the gentlemen want to compromise they mustn't be inter ferred with.'"
 The ooloners way of telling it was as good as the story.

TIT WAS SEIZ ED.

 Nearly Twelve Thousand Pounds
 Taken By Revenue Officers At Ea-
 than & Ce.ss on Park Street.
 In accordance with instructions from Washington, Internal Revenue Collector Troup seized the stock in the oleomargarine factory on Park street, owned by N. J. Ma than & Co. yesterday morning. The whole stock, amounting to Il, ,s45 pounds of but ter, was taken. Keeper Thompson was placed in charge of the stock at the factory. It was supposed that Nathan & Co. had always done an upright business, and the seizure was probably not owing to any eva sion or violation of the special tax revenue laws. MT. Nathan thinks that the seizure was because of complaints from New York State, which is prohibitory. The officials there are very strict in the matter and prob ably have found these buffers shipped from New Haven.

 Stocks opened quiet and fairly steady, and while the feeling was not bullish, the early demand ad- vanced quotations fractionally in the first few minutes. The pressure upon Burlington, however rapidly lowered that stock and everything yielded the influence more or less. There wes gener al rally toward noon, when Jersey Genital rose rap idly and even Burlington approxmated its open ing price. Later, however, the pressure was re- newed with force and Burlington, Rock Island, Oregon Improvement and some others, reached the lowest prices of the day.
