THE ROWS IN GREY.

One of the grandest charitable lnstl-
tutions in the country is located near
Higginsyillc. 1t is devoted to caring
for the invalid boys who wore the grey
in the great civil strife thirty years ago.
1t is without endowment, other than the
generosity of M%issourians. 1t cannot
iced ut the state treasury, but must
live or die in the hearts of the people.
II Is dependent upon voluntary dona-
tons, but because of this fact. II obi
cations to support 1t are none the less,
and our duty to give To it none the
more unpleasant.
The Home Is nov caring for scores
of feeble veterans who Offered their all
Tor principle, and fought rs best they
knew for what they deemed human
ity's good.
Right ~ wron" these old warriors
who are now sheltered 10y the Home
and cared for in their declining years
w paul lcNlC Nv ''i' OA'N
stratcd to the world that principle was
dcarcr than life, and honor dearcr than
all that is mortal. They were brave;
they were true; they were heroic.
From their hearts have been cNpungcd
the prcjudiceS Of war, and now n"
trucr citizens Ia an united country can
be found. They apologize. not for
their past, and regret not that the stars
and stripes wave from the Niagara TO
the golden Gulf. They are heroes.
Patriots IN war and patriots III peace.
Many Of them left 4 limb or an arm
on the field of carnage; many of them
carry in their body lcadcn balls, which
testify of bravery and of honor. They
are now in Il feeble condition, unable
to support themselves, and it is but
just that in the few years left to them
on earth they should be well cared for.
Remember them on April 2. When
you 90 to the school election put n
dollar in you pocket for ''the boys
who wore The grey If n n dollar,
give n dime. Lafayette county should
do its duty in this matter, and what
this county should do Is usually done.
The INTELLIGENCER has n good deal,
each week, to say about the bridge.
1t asks no special glory out of this
movement, but desires simply to dis
charge its duty TO this city and county.
1t wants to deserve from this cOmmu-
nifty that highest Of all encomiums,
swell done!' 1t has been plain IN
this matter. It's position and opinions
can be easily understood, as can its
opinions on all subjects of interest to
the people of this county. Our readers
can always telr OF which side the fence
we are. They know where to find us,
and whether right or wrong, they will
always find this paper honest in its
expressions and sincere in its advocacy
of what it believes TO be for the public
welfare.

WHERE'S THE
BEST?
That's the Question.

Among SO many conflicting assertions OF perfection and
wonderful v~alues-among SO many stocks for which everything
in the world and a few things in the hereafter are claimed, how
are you to distinguish the fairy tales and fiction from the
absolute facts? What's to be the test to apply in deciding
the various claims of professional claimants? How are you to
determine the exact truth in the premises?
