The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1894-08-04
Rev. L. NJ. Cobb is now able to sit up.

The Waverly Times don't like the out
look.
Mr.. Leroy Farmer is building a ware
house in the rear Of the building now
occupied by Ireland Il Mountjoy.
Every one in the county should give the
management of the fair association en-
enlargement. Make it a credit to the
county.
The boycott against the INTELLIaENcER
has not yet bluffed us into changing our
opinion. We still hin McGregor an
enemy to the coal miner and coal operator.
A child was born in Riverton, this
week, which was very much deformed. 1t
had but one foot, and no hands. Its arms
were Of different lengths, but both limbs
We're perfect.
Richmond Conservation: The Lexington
INTELLIaENcER has been fairly skinning
McGregor, the labor agitator, and We
doubt il he has been given a single lick
that he did not deserve. We have but little
patience with such fellows and think the
sooner they are given a back seat by the
laboring class the better 1t will be for
them.
Last week we published the obituary
and n short historical sketch of the
defunct jeff. Rep. Mr.. J. Z. Payne, with
wonderful perverseness, PUSHES into the
columns OF his old 'loathesome contem-
porary," the News, to register a kick.
We have heard of cases where drowned
people fioated up stream to keep the
corpse from being found.
j. w. Anderson, the Wellington coal
miner who wrote us last week denouncing
McGregor, writes us this week taking 1t
all back. Mr.. Anderson should not have
written the first letter till he was sure he
was right, and h he should stick to it.
Last week he said the men were unami-
nous in favor of going to work. This
week he says they are firm against going
to work. We think Mr.. Anderson a very
unreliable correspondent. Somebody has
possibly run a game of blum OF him.
Wednesday night a burglar entered the
grocery store of Mr.. j. w. Graham, at
Mayhem. MIR. Benning passed the store
about II o'clock aud heard a noise therein.
He aroused a few neighbors who sur
rounded the store and fired q shot. The
thief ran out and was followed about
three fourths of a mile to his home where
he was foundi in bed. They arrested him
and took him to MAYHEM where he con-
fessed to the crime. His name is Milton
Hendrix, and he is a coal miner and Sec
ton hand. He is supposed to have had
an accomplish.
II our miners would listen to advice,
now that McGregor has proven that he
will not hesitate to make state
ments, In order to deceive them we would
advise them to drop him at once. He has
not hesitated ia deceive them In regard to
the purposes of MI. McGrew. and now
that we have the statement OF Ed. Nc
Grew, clearly demonstrating this fact,
they ought to be able to see that he is q
poor leader and adviser. We advise our
miners to drop him, and make the best
terms they can with our operators, who
will deal fairly with you, IL you show .
desire to deal fairly with them. You are
losing by this delay.-Richmond Demo-
crat.
The following telegram to the Republic,
from Springfield, of July 3Oth, is Of inter-
est: "Geo. 8. Rathbun, q colonel In the
Confederate army, and for so years q
prominent democrat in Lexington and
this city, has announced that he Is O
member Of the populist party and a can
didate for the office Of Clerk of the Crimi-
nal court on the fusion ticket. Colonel
Rathbun was a candidate for Register OF
the Springfield Land Office, and was in
dorsed by Senator Vest, but was defeated"
1t will be seen that the colonel didn't ind
out that he was q populist until he had
failed to get Office In the democratic party.
The populist party is q great institution
where disgruntled office seekers of other
parties can 60 and be received with open
arms.
