Mr.. e. Newman,
We have finished and sent out the thirC
edition of La Bellevue, and we trust we may
be pardoned for remarkng that it is not 6
discreditable piece of job-work. However
we don't claim that impartiality demanded
in judge of court as to the case being
tried under him.
This years "poor" account is $1,000 less
than the year before the purchase of the
county farm. This, too, with our $500 fol
right OF way and improvements for the farm
AN expenditure that will not occur again
At this rate, it will be but two or three years
before the farm and its improvements will
have been paid for out of the saving by a
departure from the old system.
DR.. L. r. Goulding mas been very i'll from
stomach trouble for two weeks past, but at
latest report, is on the mend. Query: will
he live up to his own precepts in the matter
| Of diet and care of health? 1t is very doubt
ful, more's the pity. He is a hale septuage-
marian, and, with due attention to the needs
of an old man, he might well climb close to

To DR.. B. Ii. Zwart we are indebted for Il
copy of the Souvenir Edition of the Kansas
| City GIObe. issued last month. 1t contains
So pages of interesting matter, profuselly il
| lustrated setting forth the growth and bus
mess advantages of Missouri's second city.
| The Doctor, who may now be termed san
old RESIDENT" refers Us tothe Souvenir With
| pride, and we acknowledge his courtesy
| with thanks.
| We see that Wm. r. Edgar, Esq, has been
| setting out shade-trees along the street from
| his residence to the railroad. In few years
| they will be a delight TO every passer, and a
comfort to him while burdened under the
| midsummer heat. How much more of this
| sort of good work could be done if only the
| start was made by all owners of treeless
premises in the town-and that, too, with
trtiing expense.
| The ladies of the Baptist Aid Society-an
| organization deserving the commentator
and encouragement of all our people-will
| set general supper at the Academy of
Music to morrow (Thursday) evening. The
doors will be open and the tables spread at
| four o'clock, continuing all evening, and the
| very moderate charge of twenty-five cents
| made for what all may rest assured will be
| an excellent and satisfying meal. Give the
ladies a call.

AS per announce ment, Rt. Rev. DanI G.
Tuttle, Bishop of the Diocese of Missouri,
conducted services in St. Paul's Church last
Friday evening. The subject of his sermon
was "The Unjust Steward" and, matter
of course, it was ably treated. The church
was well filled with an appreciative congre-

was that the room was not properly heated
that evening being the apex and culmina-
tion of the only real "cold snap' this winter
has seen, The Bishop left Saturday for Cape
Girardeau.

to Mrs. G. as a corset -pedder. But it didn't

her sister there was perfect re ,ognition. 1t

have been having picnic, so to speak, ever
since.
