BAZOO GOSSIP.

Judge John A. Tuggle, a promi-
nent and wealthy citiz,n of Davies
county, No., and who has relatives
in this section, died few days since.
He had lived on his old home place
for fifty years, raised large family,
but the coffin that was carried in for
his remains was the only one that had
ever been across the threshold.
Mai. w. C. airline, who holds an
important state office at the capital,
was in town last evening and made
the BAzoo a pleasant call.
Major airline. who is brother-in-
law of Senator Major, for a number OF
years held a professienship at Central
college, Fayette. Mo-. at which insti-
tuition be graduated with high honor.
He Afterwards abandoned teaching
for law practicing this profession till
two years ago when he secured
lucrative clerkship in the adjutant
generals office at Jefferson City.
Said a democratic politician to the
Gossiper yesterday: "Don't you know
that the republicans are organizing
both in tie city and county, and have
been actively al work for more than
two months. The party is possessed
of an infinite amount of cheek and
thinks it will prevail in both the saring
and fall elections. Ami it wouldn't
be at all surprising-if the democrats
don't rouse themselves from seem
ing lethargy AMI 60 to work in the
matter of organization. If they work
vigor lusly to that end, the democrats
can easily carry both the city aud
county"
1t was a very sensible farmer who
remarked to The Gossiper: CA man
who does not take a newspaper be-
cause it will require an outlay of a
dollar or two. has poor idea Of
economy. He would probably be
surprised if one should suggest that it
is as much his duty to provide his
family with 70 j for the brain as with
victuals and clothing for the body.
1ne farmer who en- acts from hi, child
rem constant employment at the
druid cry of the farm, and does not
fake a newspaper, SO that his family
may pleasantly while away th.ir
leisure hours aud acquire knowledge
of important facts aud events, should
not be surprised if his children exhi-
biz that uncOuthness which comss
f.om ignorance Of current thoughts
and hum IN achievements"
Mr.. VIM. II. Stea' mes, of Sandusky,
O., was seen yesterday in the cor
rdiors of the Sicher. In speaking of
politics from a democratic It ,ndpoint
he said: THE recent senatorial con-
test has been the cause of much
bitterness in the republican ranks,
which in my opinion will never be
alleged. There is an apparent truce,
but there ere no signs Of faithfulness
on either side. The adherents of both
Foraker and Sherman are as worthy
To-day as they were prior to the g. ma
,orial contest. Of course this is fun
for a united and aggressive democracy
and the democrats of Ohio enter the
campaign Of 1892, very hopeful. You
NUT remember that Harrison carried
the state by a very small majority
considering the large popular vote
which Ohio casts. A change of a few
votes in each precinct in favor of the
democrat is all that is needed. But
the legislature is now under full re.
publican control, and the redistricting
that is certain to take place is som e.
thing awful to contemplate. You
know when a republican body las the
upper hand it disregards, law. con-
.titution and everything eIle.'
Judge HaIstead may deny what
follows, but if he does the Gossipel
will at once go to work and get the
proper testimony from living wit.
nesses to substantiate It 1t was in
ante bellum times aud the judge lived
near the Davies and Caldwell county
]: es in this state. He was a justice
of the peace or q magistrate of some
kind. At any rate, he was author
ICED to perform the marriage ceremo
ny. One day young couple sp.
peared before him, not being sbIe to
secure the services of a minister.
They wanted to be married and
wanted the job done as quickly a:
possible. This was the judges firsI
experience and he was as p!ucky thsr
as he is to day, aud at once began the
business as if he had been a profts
ional.
"Stand up" he said, and they
arose.
"Come forward to the bar Of jus
tice," he said. and they came.
"Guiltv. or not guilt, he asked
