GRAND PASS, SALINE co., MO.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:- This place
is located on the new river railroad
running between Lexington and
Boonville. or Jefferson City, to which
place it will soon be completed.
1t is west OF Malta Bend five miles, in
the midst of the finest farming country
in the state. We had heard Of this new
town, but supposed there were only
depot, postofice and blacksmith shop
as we have been fooled so often on new
railroad towns, but on visiting Grand
Pass we must say that we were little
surprised to find so much thrift and
enterprise as are exhibited at this
place.
The business houses are as follows:-
Mr.. George Goodwin, groceries; Mr..
5. w. Rcnlck, dry goods and groceries;
Messrs. j. IL. White & Co. saddlery
and harness; 5. M. Green, drugs;
Higgins IL Edwards, blacksmiths; Mrs.
Graham, millinery; Thos. Davis, bar
ber; DIR. Geo. s. Martin, physician;
Il. Il. Green, livery stable; John
Spence, restaurant; Mrs. Neil board
ing house; James Wilson, hotel; Chas.
Higgins, painter; 4. r. Graham, and
Lee Williamson, teachers.
This would be a fine location for
grist mill, also for Il furniture store
and others could do well by examin-
ing tor themselves.
The facilities for the sportsman are
/, unsurpassed as it is only one,half
mile TO lake where fishing is excellent
and great quantities OF bass, perch, and
cat are caught with the hook and line.
and where duck shooting is i'm order in
the early spring and fall. 1t is hard to
excel in that line.
There is fine spring of the purest
| and coolest mineral water near tho
depot, affordiug an abundance OF
water the year round. Samples of
this water have been sent 10 noted
chemists to be analyzed as there are
some virtues of medicinal value in its
composition.

CABBAGE NECK.

"Tner, was sound OF reyelry by

had gathered there" Tuesday evening
March Is, 1890, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w.
Duvall, celebrated the fifth anniversary
of their marriage by inviting their
relatives and friends to supper at their
residence, in Cabbage Neck. A social
gathering there is always like family
reunion, with the many friends of the
family present. Anyone who has ever
been fortunate enough to be present at
a gathering in that neighbOrhood can
attest the hospitality and exerlions OF
the host and hostess TO entertain those
present. 1t is superiluous 10 say that
the present occasion was not All eXcep.
ton to the rule. The presents were
numerous, costly and useful, ranging
from bread bowls to extension tables.
Supper was announced about . p. IN.
Upon entering the dining room the
beauty of the table and its artistic ar
rangement, held one almost spellbound
BUT not tor long, as the inner man de.
manded something more than feast
for the eyes. To say that all did ample
Justice to the tempting meats, salads,
cakes, ices, &c, would be drawing
mildly. To some who saw the viands
disappear only to be replaced il seemed
as if they had gr0wH spontaneously.
Four generations were represented %
at the gathering. Mrs. Dolly Hall,
aged eighty-tour years; all her children
were present i'll the persons of Mes
danes Graves, Hicklim, Shotwell, and
Jas. NJ Hal, Esq. Her grand children
present were VIM. B. Bradley, Clar-

Maggie and Jessie, Forrest HIcklin and

what They are saying in Their
Papers,
Editors Hawkins 4 Middleton of The
Cass County Democrat, point ont one
among the many hypocricies of the
Pecksnin party:
"Some time ago the Democrat pub
lished letter written by John IT, Miz
Zell, United States marshal for the
northern district of Florida, in which
he instructed his deputy to see that
only true and tried republicans were
selected to serve as jurors in the United
States court. On Feb. Goth the senate
OF the United States had under consid-
Grafton II resolution, offered by Senator
Chandler, asking for information in re.
gard TO the killing of Deputy Marshal
Sanders. Senator Pasco, Of Florida
offered an amendment to the effect that
the senate should also be informed
whether the United States officers had
purposcly drawn partisan jurors, ant
whether the above spoken OF had beel
written by MiZzell. This amendment
WAS voted down by tho republican
members of the senate. This illustrated
inc lhlEucsS anu llOHcSty vi lllc EcpuD'
lican party. Ii is thought very ncces
sary to spend the peoples money It
find how and why an officer was killed
but it il none of the peoples business
whether or not the officers of the Unitet
States courts are deliberately packin;
the iuries with their partisan friends t'
secure unjust verdicts. An administers
ton that sells its appointments to oilic,
to the highest bidder may be expected
10 corrupt every foundation Of Justice.
Editor Crisp, of the Holden Enter

Editor Munford, in the Kansas
City Times, hits the nail on the head
so far as western interests are concern
ed in these few lines:
"FreG trade with the South Ameri-
can countries which Mr.. Blaine's Pan
American congress proposes would
bring the raw materials of the west in
competition with the raw materials
which are the principal productions of
South America. What is the matter
with giving New England little for

The recent publication of al alleged
scientific opinion rejecting upon the
wisdom of the Eads idea, adopted by
the Mississippi river commission, for
the improvement of that stream, has
misled many persons who are H.
informed OIL the subject. The publica-
ton was, OF course, inspired by persons
who have axes to grind by a change in
the entire method of the work, which
is evidenced by the false promises and
illogical deductions contained in it.
This is stirring up the people on the
lower Mississippi, who are deeply in

Mississippi river by levees and dykes,
and to urge the congressman of Mis-
