Garry the water away from the road
bed as rapidly as possible after rains,
and the problem of road making is
half solved. No water should be al
lowed to stand in bitches on the sides
of the road. Perfect drainage is the
first and most important item. Can
we not get our o%verseers to act on
this idea! Ii is not a new one. but its
practical acceptance would be very
new. Let them quit hauling material
on a road until they have a solid road
bed. and a solid road bed results from
IN absence of wafer. Give us drainage.

That ts " has the Missouri People Say.
The people of the north part of this
county n the people OF Perry county
have been living in hopes of a railroad
for more than two years, and during
that time they have never ceased to
talk about the extension of the Jack
son Branch from Jackson to Perry
vile. Some ten days ago public meet
ings were held at Oak Ridge in this
county and at Perryville in Perry
county, and, at these meetings dele
gates were appointed and sent to st.
Louis to confer with the officials of
the Missouri Pacific. The Vicc-Prcsi-
dent of the Missouri Pacific was seen,
but it seems that he did not give them
much encouragement.
Following is what the Perryville
Sun has to say about the visit of the
delegates to st. Louis and their meet
ing and interview with Vice President
Smith of the Missouri Pacific:
The delegates from this place who
visited st. Louis last week to co-ope.
rate with the Cape county delegates
in an effort to secure the extension Of
the Jackson Branch railroad returned
last Friday very much pleased with
our prospects OF getting a railroad in
the near future. Our delegates, to-
gether with those from Cape county,
called on Vice-President Smith of the
Mo. Pacific road who told them that
it was the intention of the company to
build the road, but owing to . strin-
gency in money affairs at the present
time, work would probably not be be-
gun until next year, although 1t was
possible that some work might be
done this fall. The delegates were
told TO make out a statement concern
ing the of the country
through which the road would pass,
together with other matters, such as
the ability of the company to get the
right of way, ETC., and that be, the
Vice-President, would submit the
statement to the consideration of the
Board of Directors at their next meet.
ing. Our delegates, Thos L. Philips
and c. a. Killian, as well as Messrs.
Tiedemann and Schaeter of Cape
county, were highly pleased with their
reception at the hands of Vice-Presi-
dent Smith and the encouraging news
he gave them in regard to our pros
poets of getting the road.

STACK Year Wheat.

The Midland Elevator Company. Of
Kansas City has issued q circular to
the farmers OF Missouri which reads
as follows:
We are now on the eve of new
wheat crop, which is probably the
best ever grown in the West. We
expect TO handle a good proportion
OF this crop, and are interested with
the producer and yourselves in sccur-
ing il in the best possible condition.
Our observation has been in years
PAST, that wheat properly stacked
after harvest, and allowed to go
through the natural curing process. is
more understandable than when
threshed and shipped to market d.
rectly after cutting. We believe il will
be TO the interest of all concerned
that wheat be stacked, as upquestion-
ably, if threshed from the shock it
will sell at n heavy discount under
old wheat, As it will not be in export
with this end in view, We address
ourselves to you, hoping that ifagree-
able to your views, you will advise
the merchants and farmers in
neighborhood to further this
kindly give all possible publicity
10 these suggestions. The early crop
movement will be heavy, and the
prospects are that the OF grades Of

what the Hurphvssore Papers Have
10 Say AbSus Thsm.


Following is what the Murpbysboro
papers have 10 say of the Cape people
who went on an excursion TO Mur-
physboro last Sunday:
The excursion given by the Eureka
Band from Cape Girardeau. arrived
in city about 10 o'clock Sunday
morning. and came up to expectations
far As numbers were concerned. 10
consisted of four passenger coaches
filed To their utmost, and the people
who attended were evidently labor
ing men and families. those who yer
engaged with business on other days.
Nothing was done during the day to
mar the high opinion held by our
people Of those living at the Cape.
Upon arrival here they were met
by Wagner's X. of 7. band. After an
exchange of greetings. the Eureka
band, followed by the X. of j., es-
cortcd the excursionists TO the city.
marching around the public square
and then towards Turner's Park.
where most of the crowd went TO
spend the day. The time was passed
quietly, nothing occurring TO disturb
the pl~easantness of the occasion.
during the early part of the after
noon many persons left the park, pre-
fcrring TO stroll around our city, view
ing the things and places interesting
to strangers. A heavy rain occurred
the afternoon which caused a
break in these pleasures, though it was
brief. The sun shone brightly ana
the air was cooler, as the result of the
rain.
The time at which the excursion
was to return was 4 o'clock, and
a little while before this time they
marched in from the park. The bands
at the crossing of Cherry and
Main streets and quite a musical con-
cert ensucd, several excellent pieces
being played by each band. The
crowd then moved eastward on Wal
nut to the G. 7. & e. depot. AS the
had not arrived, several good
were played by the bands,
some in concert. When the train was
run up the crowd soon filled it, and
amidst many friendly good-byes and
mutual good wishes, the cxcursioDists
left promptly at 4 o'clock. We are
sure that they enjoyed the trip to our
city, and we were certainly glad to
have them come.--Erd.
