Wonlu carry, ana IN fact all the details
OF the wedding. AS the society column
of the paper which was reading an
nounced the departure of the ladies for
this certain place. also knew who they
were. AS they reached their station
and picked up their traps, the matron
OF the party remarked that she suppOs-
ed all the people in the car were won
dcrlng what that was she carried, if it
were new kind of bird cage. Taken
as a whole, country town is far ahead
IN cultured people in proportion to the
population than the city. That great
educator of the masses, the newspaper,
both daily and weekly, is home COM
pahion without which no house is com
plete. Far from the hustle and hurry OF
daily city life, there is time to read and
digest the contents of the papers read.
Thus IN Il great measure the masses
acquire an education and culture

DIR. Goddin thus pulverizes the great
religious daily by an editorial para
graph m the Hermann Ledger:
"Thc ST. Louis Globe Democrat says
that when the Farmers Alliance be
CONES democratic alliance il ceases to
be either useful or ornamental The
tact that the alliance declares for tariff
rcducliOn,a "a democratic doctrine, shows
that there are brains and virtue both
in the members of that organization.
rhc q. a. X. and sons OF veterans as
Al annex TO the republicans is all right,
but the leaning of the alliance 10 demo-
cratic doctrines is all wrong"

Editor Jewett must have been out of
town wien the Shelbina Democrat
printed the following item, or else the
"chinchilla har is a ew-fangled name
for the familiar MANILA:
"John Nesbit came over Saturday
morning to take the train for summer
vacation in New Mexico. He wore
above q black dress suit heavy over
coat, and on his head a straw, or more
properly cninchilla hat. Some Of his
friends called his attention 10 the dis
cord the two made on the seasons scale,
too late for one aud too early for the
other. John explained il all by saying
he WAS going to a strange country and
thought il best to dress for any kind OF
weather. or any popularity OF fashion
the natives might be wearing Oh his
arrival"
1t doesn't matter, though, for John
Nesbit can enjoy himself under any
kind of hat.
Editor Gustin grows reminiscent and
prints this paragraph in the Platte
County Argus:
"Twenty-iive years ago Abe Lincoln
was assassinated, and no other repub-
lican statesman has arisen worthy to
be his successor. Lincoln was q truly
great man, and had he lived the unholy
carpet bagger would not have devas-
tated the PROSTATE and bleeding south
for so many long years; neither would
the republican party, with his consent
have gone over boots and breeches to
| tariff barons, pretorians, suffers and
camp followers. Lincoln accomplished
his mission and assed away and the
party that claims to be his party, is al
| unlike him as the tool of trusts, ,monOp
olies, combines and pretorians, can bt
unlike patriot and a statesman"

Editor Murray warmly indorses thu
movement for an ex confederate home
and is stirring up Clay county enthu
siastically. The Liberty Tribune
says:
| "The movement to erect a home TO
disabled and aged ex-confederates il
Missouri is meeting with generous en-
couragement from all sections OF tn
state. Ii is a noble work, and all con
federates, and those who sympathlze
with them in the great struggle, shoul
respond as well as their financial col
dition will admit. Clay county hs
hundreds of confederates who are we
fixed financially and they should sc
that Clay is not ouldone in the matte
OF contributions"
Editor Jewett has discovered a ne
wrinkle in the purchase of postae
stamps. This is what he says in
recent issue of his Shelbina Democrat
"An old time citizen, respectful al
respected, bought u sheet OF postas
stamps Saturday, of Postmaster Pre-
, ton. Nothing singular in that as it is
common, daily occurrence; but Il
! mans way of treating the stamps as
sure preventive against loss or damss
by sticking, was the surprising part I
it. He dotied his hat and several tim,
! rubbed the gum side of the staml
f over his head, explaining to a freshms
who witnessed the performance wit
no little curiosity, that the oily su
stance that gathered from the hair kel
: ; the stamps from sticking together, th,
saving in moneyed sense, and occ
sionally deal OF profanity"
Editor Hawkins has the following
the Harrisonville Democrat:
"Mr. Carnegie by judiciously usii
