THE TOMB.

PAxTos:-Mrs. NJ. c. Paxton died
at her home, in Dalton, last Satur
evening at 8 o'clock, aged "a years,
Her death was due to chronic
stomach trouble and general debili
ty incident to old age.
Mrs. Paxton was q native Of North
Carolina, but had lived in Missouri
since her early girlhood.
She was q most excellent Christian
lady, and died in the full hope OF res
direction and everlasting life with
her blessed Redeemer beyond the
grave. The example of her devoted
Christian life will be as sweet incense
to near and dear ones she leaves be-
hind.
Three children survive her.
among whom is DIR. T. A. Martin, of
st. Louis. who formerly practiced
medicine, at Dalton. and is well and
favorably known in this county.
The last sod rites were held over
Mrs. Paxton's remains last Sunday
afternoon, followed by internent in
the Dalton cemetery.
Peace to her ashes.

THE GOSSIP.

The following excellent description
OF q gossip, taken from an exchange,
is O fair idea OF the meddlesome, tat
ling mischief maker:
"a slimy, creeping pusalanimous
gossip 10 one of the denominations
attached to all small communities.
It is q vermin that will breed only In
rural districts and small towns. 1t
grows and fattens on ignorance and
idleness and finally appears clothed
in Gods own image. 1t causes neigh
bors to quarrel and families to sepa-
rate. 1t pounces down upon the in
nocent and unsuspecting, and rsvels
in the suffering victims. With its
slimy, venomous tongue it licks up
email fragments Of sacred confidence
and with its poisonous saliva it COW
ere them over until they grow SER
pents of deadly sting. When cap
tursd the gossip win squirm and
vomit until one is fairly sickened at
the disgusting exhibitor"
Don't gossip unless you want to
be despised by all creation.

Out of the 1s9 legal votes polled

The Keytesvi.l, Colored Cornet
band did the agreeable in celebrat-
ing our election by coming out on
the streets after supper and playing
several OF their best pieces in front Of
the COURIER Office.
After the rendition of three selec-
tions by the band and shortspeech
by "us." all adjourned to water
melons followed by a treat to the CT
gars. The band was also presented
with $5 which We borrowed from a
friend.
Everybody seemed to have a good
time except the friend from whom we
borrowed the $5, and he is still sad.

A pAsrARDLY DEED.

We see by the Triplstt Bazoo that
a threshIng machine belonging to q,
NJ. Shoemaker. of near Triplett, was
badly damaged one day last weekly
an iron rod. eighteen inches long and
one-half inch in diameter, passing
through it, having been secreted in a
bundle Of wheat by some unprinci-
pied scoundrsl and fed into the ma
chine. breaking out seven teeth be-
sides doing much other damage.
Mr.. Shoemaker was threshing
wheat on woodson Jeckson's premi-
at the time the wreck occurred.
No punishment is too severe for the
culprit who would commit such o
dastardly deed, and it is sincerely
hoped that the offender will be ap-
pretended and receive his just de-
serts at the bar Of justice.

KEYTESvILE. MISSOURI, FRIDAY, SEPT Il 1894.
The City Election.

The Keytesville special city elec-
ton, held here last Saturday for the
purpose OF electing a mayor to fill
the unexpired term of X. c. Ford,
resigned, came of according to pre-
vious announcement and passed of
without exciting incident or acci-
dent except that the "other fellow"
was beaten.
Mr.. NJ. g. Holcomb had been nom
mated by the Republicans, and c. p.
yandiver, the editor OF this paper,
was honored with the Democratic
nomination. ~
The best of feeling existed between
the two opposing candidates during
the campaign" OF a little over two
weeks, and the same kindly regard
exists now, notwithstanding the bat
tie has been lost on the one hand
and won on the other.
We console our late opponent with
the thought that last Saturday was
a very warm day, and so far as COM
fort is concerned there is no more ap-
propriate time to be showed under"
than in warm weather.
A total OF 194 votes was polled,
being three votes more than were
cast at the city election in April,
1898.
The following is the result by

A 15-months-old child of VIM. La

drowned in tub containing only
about three or four inches OF water
on Thursday, Aug. Both.
Mr.. Latham lost his wife some

been keeping house for him.
The baby went out Of the house
and finding the tub in the yard,
leaned over the edge and commenced
playing in the water the tub con-
tanned, when the little one fell iniand

Ex-Sheriff j. j. Moore's family lie
being sorely afflicted with the ty-
phoid fever. First, Mr.. Moore's
youngest daughter, Rebecca, was
taken sick with that disease, then
his Oldest daughter, Miss Grace, was
stricken, and last Friday Mrs.
Moore was Frustrated with the same
malady. Little Rebecca and Miss
Grace are getting better, but Mrs.
Moore is seriously i'll. Mr.. Moore's
many friends sympathize with him
and his family in their trying ordeal.
We hope that those who have not
yet taken sick viii not be stricken,
and that the sick may soon be re-
stored to their accustomed health.

a Runaway.

VIM. Bentley. living 3-4 OF q mile
west Of Keytesville, invested in q
new buggy not long since, already
having horse to match.
William drove to town last Satur-
day in his new rig and hitched his
horse to the rack just west of the
Farmers bank.
Some careless citizen, of this place,
and contrary to the city ordinances,
had thrown some loose paper outi in
to the street which was caught upby
a gust of wind and blown under the
feet OF Bentley's horse. so badly
frightening the animal that it broke
looee and ran away and did notstop
until it reached home and ran into q
barbed wire fence and received sever
al ugly cuts.
Thebuggy top was badly smashed,
one Of the shafts was broken and
one of the axles sprung, while the
harness also suffered more or less.
Thus it is that some ones careless
ness has proven to be quite misfor-
tune and expense to Mr.. Bentley,
and We hope it may result in there
being no further violations of the
city's laws in regard to throwing
waste paper into the street.

We take the following from tn,
last issue OF the Brunswick News
On Monday afternoon, Ernest Ruck-
er employed in L. p. Rucker & Co.'S
store, was sent to an outside build
ing to draw q quantity OF gasoline
for a customer, and being absent
quite long time, Mr.. Ira Smutz
went out to ascertain the cause.
Ernest WAS found lying near the
tank In an unconcious condition,
having been overcome by the vapor
OF the gasoline which had collected
in the tank. Mr.. Smutz dragged
Rucker from the cellar into the open
air, when he revived. Calling for
help, two OF the News employees re-
sponded and Ernest was helped into
DIR. Martins Office, where restora-
tives were applied and the young
man pronounced out OF danger.
The barrel OF gasoline is located up
stairs In an outbuilding, and q pipe
leads therefrom TO the tank in the
cellar. Ii is supposed that the hot
weather generated gas in the barrel
which was forced into the tank and
rushed out when the tap was loosen
ed.

Surely Brunewick is on boom.
Work on her electric light and water
works plants is being energeticalIy
conducted, and those enterprises arc
expected to be in satisfactory opera
tion by the fret of October. Her
several manufacturing industries arv
busy with orders, with glowing pros
poets of increased business; while the
establishment of other manufactor-
les is passing the point OF discussion
and nearing that of consammat tion.
With q good bridge over Grand riv.-
Ter, which it hopes to secure within q
year or two, grand future will be
insured for that sturdy old town.
Not one in North Missouri has better

her people are getting out of tho

Weather Crop Bulletin.
Central omce, Columbia, b

The mean temperature for th,
week ending Saturday. Septembel
1st, was from two to three degrees
above the normal in the southern
sections OF the state and from 4 to
degrees above in the central and
northern sections, the greatest ex-
cess occurring in the northwest sec
ton. During the greaker part o.
the week the sunshinsf Hss almos,
Continuous. but was mitigated to a
considerable extent by the hazy con
dition OF the atmosphers. Scattered
showers occurred on Aug. 26th and
9th and in q few localities in the
central and southeastern counties
were quite heavy, but as q rule the
rainfall was very light and Of but
little benefit. In q number of the
eastern counties corn and pastures
that had been revived by the rains
Of two and three weeks ago are re-
ported as dry as ever. During the
past two days. however, the condi-
tions were favorable for showers and
good rains fell in q number of coun-
ties. A special repore from La
monte, Pettis county, dated Sept Sd
says: "One and three-fourths inches
OF rain breaks worst drouth for 20
years'" At Columbia 1.69 inches of
rain has fallen since the morning of
the Sd.
Many correspondents in the GEN.
trail and northern sections state
that corn is now too far gone to be
benefited by rain. Cutting 10 In
progress in most counties and In
come is well advanced. In q few of
the extreme eastern counties corn on
bottom lands is still looking well.
In number OF the southeastern
counties late corn shows considera-
bic Improvement since the recent
rains. but in others it has dried up
and much OF it is being cut. Cutting
is also in progress in a number OF
the southwestern counties while in
others corn is still green and doing
well. Chinch-bugs are still doing
much damage IN a number of coun-
ties. Considered for the state at
large corn is very spotted and esti-
mates Of the probable yield vary
greatly with the locality, but from
the best information obtainable it
is believed that rather more than
half OF an average crop will be se-
cured.
Sorghum making is in progress
and in the southwestern counties the
crop is very good, but in other sec
tions the yield is generally light
though OF good quality.
Late potatoes are generally a j
ight crop though in few localities
good yield is reported.
In few counties. principally in
he southeast section, pastures are
Iomewhat improved and stock water
s more plentiful, but over the great
portion OF the state there has been
,ut little chenge.
Clover hulling is in progress in the
entral and southern counties and
he yield is generally good.
In a few counties fall plowing is
'bout completed, but in most sec
ions it is progressing very slowly
nd but little seeding has yet been
one.
Apples and grapes have been
realty damaged in many counties
