pie OF Sedalia that is in a very small
degree. He was to have been the big

ing of Deffenbaugh. He had no
trouble in giving bond and could have
raised ten times the amount. The
sympathy of the people is almost

with his wife,"
DR.. A. V. Small in speaking to the
G ssipr in relation to the general
health of the city. said that it ''had
rarely teen better. There are no
contagious di,ea es prevalent. and the
fatality is generally the result of colds
contracted, hereditary disease or nat.
ural old age. However, there are
but few coming under either head.
In fact, in point of health, Sedalia
stands second to no city in this section |
of the country"
A prominent building contractor in
the city said to the Gossiper: "If
there are thirty days more of good
weather there will be at least fifty
added to the countless numb5r Of
buildings which have been erected
this season. The growth Of Stdalia
in this respect has been phenomenal
as compared with any city in the
west. In addition there will be a
number of business blocks completed
if the weather is favorable.
"Speaking of elections" said a
prominent politician to the Gossiper.
did it ever occur to you that the
state of New York alternate. in every
presidential yesr? Lincoln carried
it in 1854; Seymour, in 1868;
Grant, in 1872; Tilden, in 1876;
Garfield, in 1880 Cleveland. in 1884
and Harrison, in 1888 In 1892 it is
the tine of the democrats to win and
there is every indication that they
will. In fact, New York is no longer
a doubtful state so far as the next
is concerned"
81 have Just completed a round of
the schools of the city" said Superin-
tendent Smith to the Gossiper this
"and am satisfied with the
workings, without exception. The
attendance is very good, and l don't
think We have ever had a superior
corps of teachers, and the students
seem 10 be making excellent progress.
There have been no complaints of
to the board. There is
ne thing, h 1wever, that would be
better all around that parents should
occasionally visit the schools"
A Sedalia educator in speaking of
school libraries sud: "This move
ment for the establishment of school
libraries is movement in the right
direction. Books of reference are
necessary and aim st as essential as
are books of travel, biography, history
and general literature. In this day
where the country is flooded with
pernicious reading matter and when

freely Use it.
