The Annual Preachers Association convened
here a week ago last Tuesday. and continued in
session till Thursday afternoon. About the usual
number of ministers were present. and at each
session various questions were discussed and
considerable business transacted, pertaining to
Church matters. Three exceedingly interesting
illustrated lectures were presented by Rev. Nc
Garvey, of Lexington, Ky, who has spent con-
siderable time in Egypt, and examined many
ruins. tombs, &c. Among his curiosities were
photographs of two of the Pharoas. who first
commenced the prosecutions of the Israelites
The mummies of these Pharoas were discovered
by accident and that they were. at one time the
rulers of that aacient and wonderful country. is
unmistakably authenticated By the history
written by themselves and found on their mum
my remains and on the walls of their sepulchres.
What wonderful coincidence of sciences The
one that could. thousands of years ago. so pre-
serve the form and features. that they remain
perfect to this day; and the modern science that
can transfer the form and features and the very
expression of countenance, that we can. at
this late day. have correct view of those ancient
rulers. The Associatinn will convene here next
year little later.
Several of our citizens gathered several barrels
of crude oil. last fall from the leaking oil pipes,
and among the number was S. NJ. Leach. who
was trife careless with his store, much so.
that one of his fayorite cows discovered it, a few
days ago. and drank several pailsful, he says.
Strange to say. it didn't prove fatal, but for sew
eral days the oil oozed out of her whole carcass
horns. head, body, legs and hoofs. that she was
a regular oil tank. Now. we want the Food Com
missioner to investigate and ascertain if Sherm
has been manufacturing oilyma-garine. and if so
enforce the law, regardless of consequences
The Fourth" was observed here for several
days. Some of our people took in the sights of
Ravenna, and report a very pleasant time 1t
was O'Clock in the evening, when young man
who had been away to celebrate" stood leaning
against tree. vainly trying to draw smoke from
an unlighted stump of cigar. and steadily gazing
into the western sky. and when elderly hay

un, -" and guess she is coming right over here

moves slow. but can see she gains" What is
it? enquired the hayseed. Why, that balloon
yonder. don't you see it? Must have went up
from Cleveland" That. my friend.' said the
hayseed. is Venus. the Evening Star" Then
the young man who had been away to celebrate
turned look of withering scorn and contempt
upon the hayseed. and exclaimed. "Mcbbe you
think I am a damned fool" and he continued to
gaze.

Some three weeks ago Mr.. G. H. Bradshaw
struck his foot with an ak while chopping down
a tree. and made a bad wound. It was thought
for several days that the toes would grow on,
but they were wholly severed and did not unite,
and week ago Drs. White and Powers, and some
others took off the middle toes, leaving the big

doing nicely. and it is hoped that he will soon be

What to Teach Young women.

A mother writes to ne: ''What shall
7 teach nv dauohters?n This one inn
portant and tremendous fact, my sister:
That there is no happiness in this
world for an idle woman. 1t may be
with hand, it may be with brain, it may
be with foot: but work she must, or be
wretched forever. The little girls OF
our families must be started with that
idea. The curse of our American
society is that our young women are
taught that the first, second, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth,
tiftieth, thousandth thing in their lie
is to get somebody to take care or
them Instead of that, the first lesson
should be how, under God, they may
take care of themselves. The simple
fact is that majority of them do have
to take care of themselves, and that.
too, after having, through the alse
notions of their parents, wasted the
years in which they ought to have
learned how successfully to maintain
themselves. 1t is inhuman and cruel
for any father or mother who pass their
daughters into womanhood having
given them no facility for earning their
livelihood. Madame de Stael said:
ut is not these writings that L am
proud of, but the fact that l have facil-
ity in ten occupations, in any one OF
which I could make livelihood" We
should teach our daughters that work
of any kind, when necessary, is a credi;
and honor to them. 1t is a shame fo1
a young woman, belonging to a large
family, to be inefficient when the
mother and father toll their lives away
for her support. 1t is shame for &
daughter to be idle while her mother
tolls at the wash-tub. 1t is as honor
able to sweep house, make beds OF trim
hats, as it is to twist watch-chain OF
embroider a slipper.-Rec. Z. De Wa

A Republican Paper.

The statesmen" have placed their heads
together, and after due consideration, calm
deliberation and consultation, have decided
that the Republicanlsm of Iron county must
have an organ. To this end an individual
who is an alien but nevertheless takes con-
siderable part in Republican politics has
been carrying a petition around town ask
ing signatures and subscriptions TO aid in
securing the establishment of a Republican
paper at this point. Similar petitions, we
have been told, were circulated in different
parts of the county. The Iron county
Statesman" is a great on the blow but when
it comes to planking down the cash he can,
as rule, hold on to his purse as tightly and
give as grudgingly for such a glorious pur-
pose as any patriot that lives. However,
after a week or two $500 was promised. The
next thing was to secure an editor, and as
Republicans with sufficient education to
conduct even country newspaper are
scarce article in Southeast Missouri, this
promised to be no easy task. Heads were
placed together, again, however, and it was
finally determined to call on Bro. j. j. Cum
diff, editor of the Pennington Democrat, to
come over and help them out of the difficult
ty. Mr.. Cundiff arrived and negotiations
were closed, the editor elect departing for
ST. Louis, where ii is said, he IS now spend
ing that $500 in newspaper outfit. Since
he has gone, though, some of the faithful"
have heard some news in relation to MIR. &.
which doesn't altogether please them. Cum
diff is an anti-kinsey man and has been
fighting the Light Weight all through the
campaign. OF course, he will support the
nominee, but the Iron county patriots can
forgive almost any sin sooner than the helm
Gus one of ever having thought or said aught
against the great intellectual gifts and abili-
ty of their own loved kinsey. But it was
too late to recall, and however much di>sat-
isfied they are, Bro. Cundiff has his contract
and they have to give him a chance. What
the size of the paper will be, whether of
daily or weekly issue, is not yet known.
Some say that the title to the outfit is vested
in the people who subscribed and that Cum
diff will have charge only during the cam
paigu; another report is that the St. Fran
co.'s county journalist has been given the
$500 out and out, and in consideration there

You are in very poor position to wave
the bloody shirt, but that part of the play Is
generally left to stay at homes and home

How much blood did you shed for Uncle
Sam? That was before your time, believe.
Like me, Mr.. Benson, you would sooner do
your fighting with cold steel pen.
When you sold out your mercantil busi-
ness, here, you promised, on your honor,
that you would not go into business here
again, unless some great mineral boom
struck this place. How long did you keep
your word? Your honor hardly lasted until
it was all gone.
You advise the poor people of this section
to educate themselves and let politics alone
That Is Just what is the matter with all mon
archial governments to-day. The poor have
let politics alone until their rights have left
them alone. The case is different in this
country. Every citizen has an equal re-
sponsibility, and should study the politics of
this country long and deep. Eternal vigil
ance is the price of liberty. Now, Mr.. Ben

but you have been so persistent in trying to
convince us that we need schooling that we
now call on you to take little of your own

Now, Mr.. Editor, let me say, once for all,
that have lived in Indiana, Illinois, Wash
ington, Oregon and Missouri, where l now
reside, and l can say in all candor | have
met with more kind treatment from the
people of Iron county than any one place
that have ever lived in the same length of
time. Not an unkind word has been spoken
to me outside this controversy. l have
found these people kind, generous and hon.

am truly sorry to have to defend these
people and myself against so unwonted, 80
