Mrs. VIM. McGarvin died March
/, 1894, with cancer. She had been
q constant sufferer for over a year.
She leaves a husband and four child
ren-two girls and two boys-to
mourn her loss. She called her
children, one by one, to her bedside
and talked to them and told them
how they must live, and when she
got through she said she was now
ready to answer to her Masters
call, and she would often repeat,
'swhy is the time so long;I am ready
and waiting" She was perfectly
reconeiled to the wish of her Savior
and seemed to think God doeth
all things WE'LL" She was laid to
rest in the Lockridge grave yard.
The deceased was 50 years old and
will be greatly missed by the fam
lily. She was watched over and
tenderly cared for by the family and
many friends during her sickness.
We sympathize with the bereaved
family in the loss of their loved one.
Dead In the decline of autumn,
Past the noontide of life,

A faithful and loving wife.
Dead. and the dear ones who loved her
Sadly weep DER the beautiful clay;
But their tears are soft as the dew drops

A French Opinion Of DOckery.

The foreign newspaper is not al
ways a reliable guide in American
affairs, and its knowledge of current
events and United States geography
is sometimee rather mixed and I'M
certain. Our politics is beyond
their comprehension but occasional
ly they get a tolerably fair under
standing of the situation as may be
seen by the following extract:
"Colonel A. M. Dockery is the
Mayor of Missouri, a small town in
the province of st. Louis. He was
disastrously defeated last week IN
a fierce battle with General Joe
Shelby, who commanded the cele-
brated brigade of irregular troops
called the James Boys Severe
loss is reported on both sides and
Colonel Dockery only escaped by re-
treating within the walls of his city.
Colonel Dockerysowns no proper
ty in the province where he resides
and holds bis position because of
his supposed poverty. But the Re-
publi1ue is informed that he has
large manufacturing interests in En-
gland in the line of wooden cloths.
Hence he is fighting for free wool
and low tariff IN the United States.
"It is related of him that his
hatred of American sheep has be-
come a mania and that on a certain
occasion he ordered his troops to
kill all the sheep in his province,
and n dull, gloomy autumn
morning the peasants arose and
found their sheep slaughtered and
the warehouses containing their wool
burned to the ground.
"Frenchmen would not submit to
such tyranny but the stolid citizens
of st. Louis, called mossbacks dared
not protest and England reaps the
advantage of their weakness and
folly. 1t is limited that British gold
and munitions Of war are freely
furnished for this conflict"

Major Salmon Talks.
HE TELLS HOW THE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION WAS FIXED
FOR MAY Is.
He Does Not Believe Ex-Governor
Francis Had Anything 10 DO
With ft-Refuses to Say
How the Committee
Stands.
Major Salmon Talks.

CLINTON, Mo +, March 9.-Maior
Harvey w. Salmon of this city,
chairman OF the Democratic State
Executive Committee, was seen to-
day by a representative of the Re.
public and his attention was called
to the criticism of Lieutenant Gov
ernor John B. OMeara and others
upon the State Committee for its ac-
ton in fixing so early a date-May
15-for the meeting of the State
Convention, and he was asked to
give his version of the matter. He
said:
SIN the first place the date is not
so early as it has been made to APP
pear. Four years ago the conven-
ton met at st. Joseph oil the 18th
of June, so you will see that this
year the date is only some three
weeks earlier. One thing that
prompted the committee the choose
the date specified is the fact that in
many of the counties the county
tickets will be put in the field weeks
before the meeting of the State Con-
vention. In this county, for in.
stance, the ticket will nominated
April Z. And l may as well say
another thing that had an influence
was the growing of the Republicans
over the result of the recent special
election in New York and Pennsyl
vania, and the boasts of that party
that they will have a majority in the
next House of Representatives caus-
ed the committee to put on its war
paint and begin preparations for the
battle,"
"What have you to say to the
charge that Ex-Governor Francis
manipulated the committee and
had an early convention fixed in
order to take snap judgement on
the farmers, who will in the middle
of May be putting in their crops?"
81 have already shown you that
the date of the convention is not
extraordinarily early, and have told
you what, in my judgment, caused
the committee to promptly begin the
work of organization. Now, as to
Governor Francis part in the matter,
| simply want to say that so far as
know or believe he had no more to
do with it than Tom Reed had in
framing the Ten Commandments.
"This talk about the convention
being fixed at a date when the
farmers will be busily engaged put,
ting in their crops and that they will
therefore be unable to attend, is the
merest nonsense. The Missouri
farmers are always busy from the
time the planting season in the
spring begins until the small grain
is harvested and the corn laid by,
and then again, the planting season
begins in Dunklin, Pemiscot and
| other southwestern counties two OF
three weeks earlier than in Atchison,
Nodaway and other counties in the
northwestern portion of the state and
no date could be fixed which would
| suit all sections of the state alike.

SMALL TALK ABOUT CLUBS.

Mexico is, beyond a shadow OF
doubt, the greatest city of its size in
the State for social and literary
clubs. There are several of them
which have meetings at regular
times and the members always
enjoy themselves hugely.
First, there is a whist club, the
name Of which we could not dis

evening with Mr.. and Mrs. E. S.
Wilson. Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. VIII
son, Mr.. and Mrs. Jay Coatsworth,

sell, Bloom and Bryan, and Messrs.

which meets every other Friday
night aud spends a social evening at
the residence Of one of the members.
They always have a magnificent
spread. The officers of this club
are Mrs. B. F. Dobyns, president,
and Miss Rosalee Moore, secretary
and treasurer. The members of this
club are all young married people
with the exception of one couple,
who are the "Mascots'' of the little
circle.
Mrs. S. P. Emmons has a dozen
young ladies who meet with her
every Wednesday afternoon for the
purpose of studying literature. A
different author and his best work
is taken up and thoroughly studied.
The members are Misses Minnie
Basket, Alice Mason, Clara Gran
than, Bessie Emmons, Crosby,
Stella Harper, Kota Luckie, Minnie
Fleet, Lena Ricketts,, Emma eau
thorn, Jessie Wells and Mable Hord.
The history class, composed of
Mesdames Bryan, Wilson, Dobyns,
