would agree to return to their homes, the

A Romance and Tragedy.

Paris, Mo-. had a romance with a
-trsgfrnf tsrmiustiUn. Jap douser
andE Murray, two friends, loved the
same girl, Miss Engle. Murray is n
Huntsville coal miner aud Houser is
a farmer.
Houser was the successful suitor,
and two months ago, one morning
before breakfast, the couple went to
Paris and were married, settling
down on a small farm south oftown.
The success of his rival did not
seem to affect Murray's friendship,
and on SUNDAY, Enoch Arden'like,
he came back to gaze on the JOY OF
Houser's household.
He was n favored guest, and all
ate dinner together and had a good
time.
After dinner the wife heard hot
words and saw Murray shoot her
husband down before her eyes.
Murray fed. but was captured in
Huntsville last Monday. Houser was
shot through the breast.

While passing through Macon
county on our trip to Northeast
Missouri. we noticed the steam
grader Of Messrs. Williams and
Tuder, of Salisbury. at work in the
Charlton bottom, just above the
Hannibal & ST. Joe railroad bridge.
The operators we're engaged In
throwing up six-foot levee on a
valuable tract OF bottom land, the
name of whose owner we did not
learn. The benefits 10 accrue from
the use of the grader on bottom
lands. much of which we have In
Charlton county. are easiiy seen
when we look at the crops grown on
them this year when there has been
no overflow during the cropping
season. IL the water, save that
which falls on it. can be kept on our
bottom land there is no doubt that
ere long this hitherto worthless land,
except for Wild grass, will prove the
most valuable for general agrieul-
tural purposes. 1t stands the
drouthy seasons much better than
our upland, as is everywhere shown
this year. We believe there are
many bottom land owners in Chari-
ton county that can well afford to
employ these enterprisIng gentle
men To levee their possessions, and
thus insure TO them the raising OF
remuuerative crops.

The new tariff law which
prohibites the tobacconist

selling it to retail dealers, has
resulted in Keytesville's cap

er, being the senior and A. D.
Taylor the junior member of

plant at their factory, at Key
tesville station, and will manu-
facture twist smoking and
twist chewing tobacco, and will
also supply their customers
with some choice brands of
plug tobacco and will continue
their sale of natural leaf.
If the business proves pros
porous the proprietors will add
to the plant such improvements
and machinery as may be
found necessary, and will then
give constant employment to
several hands.
The COURIER congratulates
the operators upon their deter
mination to build up a home
