LONGWOOD ITEMS.

Orear visited Sedalia this week.
A magic lante-r show was one Of
the attractions at LOngwOod this week.
Judge Orear was absent Saturday
taking an affidavit of great import
ance.
james Hopkins, the next sheriff
Of Pettis county was in town a few
days ago.
MIR. Schwartzell, who has been
sick for some time is improving very
rapidly.
Mrs. c. $. Swortzell of Wanna
maker, visited friends in LOngwoOd
Saturday.
Last Sunday being the fifth Sun
day in the month, there was No
preaching in this village.
Mr.. James Conner of Saline
county, passed through the village en-
route to his old home near LamOnte,
last Sunday.
The people are getting weary of
politics and will be glad when the
election is over, that they may cult
waite friendship instead of sowing seeds
of emnity.
There is to he marriage in
LongwoOd soon. Of course the guilty
parties DENY it, but it won't do, the
people know thing or two them
selves.
There was fight on the streets
late last Thursday night. The names
of the parties were not learned and,
beside disturbing the sleep Of some Of
the good citizens, no damage was
done.
A party of serenaders, last We'd
nesday night, discoursed some excel
lent music at number of the resi-
dences in the town. Their cry for
cake and cider, though, failed to elicit
any response.
james Montgomery, of Sedalia,
has been rusticating the last few days
around LongwoOd. He caused a panic
among the fish IN Heath's creek and
the filming tribes will all emigrate I'M
less he ceases his raids upon them.
There will be two rousing politi-
cal meetings in LongwOod this week.
On Thursday the democratic hosts will
gather and on Friday the republicans
will hold forth. LOngwOOd will well
come both with true, old fashion Mis-
souri, hospitality.
The democrats of Saline county
are alive and working like Turks.
Every evening from now until cleo
ton there will be public speaking and
gatherings at all the school houses
near the Pettis county border. One
who knows what he is talking about,
saws there will be no diminution of
Saline's old time democratic major
tiles.
The manner in which this county
camgaign has been conducted toward
some of the democratic candidates has
resulted in a severe reaction in their
favor. They have received so much
abuse at the hands of their
opponents that the people have begun
to regard the attacks as a shameful
persecution, and many who were weak
kneed in the beginning now express
themselves as determined to vote the
democratic ticket straight at all haz-
yards. Let the good work 60 on.
Agreeable to notice Misses Ruth
Black and Eudora Cartwright had
their Columbus celebration at the
I4auer School house four miles west of
Longwood last Friday night. This
School house is a new one furnished
with all the modern improvements.
On the occasion of the celebration it
was nicely decorated with pictures Of
Columbus, Washington, and Others.
There had been stage improvised
upon which the children said their
speeches and dialogues.
The night was beautiful and the
house was crowded with visitors MANY of
whom came from Hughesville, Hous-
tonla and LOngwOOd. The exercises
we're excellent and reflected great
credit upon the two teachers MS well
rs upon the children. Some Of the
pieces were given in a manner we'll
deserving high praise. Elmer Lauer
In dialect, Is immense. Misses Edith
Priest and Corinne Lauer were grand
IN their recitations and received many
from several Of the audi
,nce.
Seyeraldialoguesby the teachers and
chool and several tableaux represent
