Cured last Sunday night in the
Presbyterian Church of this city.
AS Rev. A. A. Wallace, pastor OF
that church, proceeded to baptize
some young people, a boy about
seven or eight years old, who was
among the offering, took a notion
that he did not want to be baptized
and taking to his heels ran out OF
the church. Rumor says he es
capped to another church near by,
where immersion is the mode OF
baptism instead of sprlnkling. and
presented himself as candidate,
but ON investigation we find this
last statement to be without toun-
daticn.

Mrs. Julia Ann Douglass, wife Of
William A. Douglass, died sudden
ly of heart disease on the 9th OF
December, 1890, at her home. seven
miles southwest of Martinsburg.
Deceased was the daughter OF John
and Polly Romans, and was born
November 2, 1916, and married to
Mr.. Douglass February "a, 1870.
She was the mother of nine chill
,!ren, of whom three boys and five
girls survive her. Her health had
been apparently good, with the ex
eeption of some slight ailments, up
to the hour of her death, which
rendered the blow all the more
severe to her sorrowing husband
and children. Mrs. Douglass had
been for many years a consistent
member of the Christian Church.
She was a woman of many virtues,
chief of which was her devotion to
her husband and children. In a
community where the whole of her
life was spent no words of detrac-
tion were spoken of her while liv
ing. and in her death all unite in
mourning the loss of one who was
an example of a discreet and pure
minded neighbor and friend and a
kind. afectionate and du,iful wife
and mother. F. M. B.

Rnantnr

The Farmers Ignored-Chief Grain In
spsctor.
Pursuant to a call issued bv
Chairman Downing, the Board of
Railroad Commissioners met in
St. Louis last week and elected
as State Grain Inspector Joseph
o Shea, who is the present in.
cumbent's chief deputy. This ac-
ton of the Board was quite unex
pected and it is very evident the
result of political scheming. The
farmers demanded a representa-
tive ON this Board and succeeded
by ell citing Mr.. Hickman to the
position and it was generally
thought that this important vacan-
cy would not be filled until Mr..
Hickman took his seat. The
Board went into executive session,
when Mr. John B. Breathitt intro.
duced the following resolution:
Reso,ped, That the Board of
Railroad and Warehouse Com.
missioners do not now proceed to
elect Chief Inspector of grain
but that said election be postpone
until Thursday, January Is, 1891.
Mr.. Breathitt stated that his
reasons for offering the resolution
were: "First, because there is no
vacancy existing in said office, nor
will there be until January 1, 1891,
and consequently it is not in order
to elect Chief Grain Inspector at
this time. Second, Mr.. Hickman,
who in November last was elected
to the office OF Railroad and Ware
house Commissioner, will take his
place in the Board on or abou,
January IA, 1891. He was nomi-
mated by the Democratic Conven-
tion and elected in Difference to
the expressed wishes of the farm
ing interests of Missouri. These
interests are more concerned in the
proper inspection of grain than any
other in the State. 1t was in
these interests the grain inspection
law was framed and enacted; and
in my judgment it is only right
that in the selection of Chief In
spector they have a voice. Bv a
postponement until January, 1891,
they will have, through their rep
resentative IN the Board, an op-
portunity of expressing their wish
es and views in a matter of SO much
importance to them.''
On vote being taken the reso.
luton was defeated and the elec,
ton proceeded with.
The candidates were Joseph
O'Shea, Capt. VIM. Price and Geo.
