The Henry county fair last week
was bowling success. Friday is was
estimated that over 5000 people were
at the grounds enjoying the treat of
viewing the fine stock and races.
Henry county raises some very fine
animals. Capt. j. B. Colt, on whose
property the fair was held, exhibited
a fine lot of blooded horses-the ad-
miratIon of all lovers of the equine
family. Henry county is one of the
counties that stands pre-eminent as
rich in production and healthy, while
it is peopled with a class that are the
salt of the earth.

his balfblood daughter, Swift-as-the
Wind, has brought many
letters from different parts
of the country, from young
men who desire the dusky maid and
the price that gees with her as dowry.
1t was only two years ago that Doug
lass Carlin. who, in 1884 was, the
democratic candidate for Register of
Deeds of Hughes County, married
her older half-breed sister, and it is
altogether probable that there will
soon be another big wedding at the
Dupree ranch. Swift-as-the- Wind is
said to be the finest looking In
dian maiden on the great
Sioux Reservation, but her father
must alone be consulted in bargain
ing for her hand in marriage. He
says he picked out q model young
man for the older one, and the man
who gets Swift-as the-Wind must be
of the same makeup as Carlip. Then
there is still younger sister, but the
old man says he ia in no hurry about
marrying her of.-School books at

1t is not often that the disapproba'
ton Of theatrical audience takes the
form it did a few nights ego in West
Virginia. where the performers of a
travelling combination were assaulted
and driven of the stage, which was
ON boat, into the river. We are
not told exactly what it was that in
censed the audience, but if this trav-
cling combination was no better than
the unknown" company which ap-
peared at Woods last Monday night,
tie Indignation of those in front of
the footlights may not have been al
together unjustifed. There are the
atrical performances in the presence
of which self-constraint is wellnigh
impossible. We would not like to 90
quite so far as to Recommend the
drowning of bad actors for their dra-
matte sins, but anything short of that
might not be so very wrong. At any
rate, many who have suffered would
be inclined to approve of some severe
punishment.

Forty thousand enumerators will be
set to taking the census of LONDON
Sunday, April 5, and they will do
their work in just one day. The pop
ulation of the city will, it is believed,
thus be counted Us fully, Us accurate
ly and as honestly as it is possible to
have it. There is quite contrast
between this business-like method and
the incompetence of Porter the De.
populator. But in London they want
to get at the truth, while our Depop-
ulator only wanted figures that could
be perverted for partisan purposes.

The Knights of Labor, headed by
a dynsmiter named Damon, a single
footed bible-banger who is about as
much follower of His Maker as the
Otterville train robbers, has, by his
slick tongue and sophistry, succeeded
in getting his deluded followers to
sanction boycott against the Henry
County Democrat. an old, substantial
and very conservative journal. That
paper has accomplished much in the
way of the development and upbuild-
ing of Central and Southern Missouri,
and the BAzoo is quite sure that the
good people of Clinton and Henry
counties will not lead their ear to this
fellow, who his about as much intel
Iigence as Santa Fe jackass and as
much patriotism as the COmanche
Indian chief, Spat-in-Your-Eye. The
very serious offence of the Democrat
was the refusal to pub ish a notice in
its columns, maligning and traducing
the democratic party. If the people
of Clinton listen to Damon's boycotl
resolutions the BAzoo don't know
them. The days of the boycott in
Sedalia have passed and the boycott
tiers are ON a double quick out of the
country.
