Il PRIZE ESSAY.
"The Laddonia Fair, or Agricultural
Display, Its Present and Future"

Laddonia (Mo.) Herald's prize essay by z. T.
Burch, read before the Farmers Institute.
The Farmers Institute, under the
auspices of the State Board of Agri-
culture, convened in Laddonia the
18th inst. The attendance was large.
Deep interest and enthusiasm charac-
terized the entire proceedings. Dis
tinguished specialists in clear, logical
and eloquent language discoursed on
various topics, all having an inspiring
and elevating influence, showing that
ignorance is inexcusable and that hap
piness and prosperity r dependent
upon a higher education and a broad
er knowledge of the latent forces that
nature gratuitously offers.
We thank the Board for their kind
recognition, and al ssu them that
their labors r highly appreciated
and their kind regards ardently recip-
rocated.
The exhibit was large, varied and
complete.
Vegetables in endless variety. APP
pies in %profusion, from the pale pink
to dark crimson and almost as tempt
ing as in Edenic bowers, besides farm
cereals and Towering plants, magnif-
cent in entirety. Poultry of fine
feather and musical voice occupied
the Q a of the Hall. Songs, humorous
and sentimental, by Mrs. Locke and
Collins Academy delighted the audi
ence, sand all went merry as a mar
raige bell"
Our present is established. Our fu'
ture is before us. To that we look with
confidence and hope, believing that
wider diffusion of knowledge Is the
basis of future prosperity.

His Excellency Says He Will Pre-.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, October H.
Gov. Clarke returned from Hot Springs
this morning and when seen by the
Chronicle correspondent said he had
nothing to say beyond that he has
not changed his attitude a particle
toward the prize fight and that they
could not hold their contest in Arkan-

He said he was worn out and did not
know what he should do next.
There is no doubt the militia will be
sent to Hot Springs and but little
doubt that they will execute the Law
when they get there.

She Would Not Come.
MISS LYDIA SPENCE REFUSES TO
LEAVE THE RHEA FAMILY
OF ST. LOUIS.
Her Brother-in-Law, Douglas Dillon
Seeks an Interview With Her But
She Says "No"-says She is
Going to Marry.

DouglasDillon returned Friday night
from st. Louis, where he went to Sc
cure possession of his sister in law,
Miss Lydia spence, who, on several
occasions, had written her sister, Mrs.
Callie Dillon, that she was being de-
tanned at the home of j. FL. Rhea, of
1879 Belt avenue, in that city, against
her wishes, and that the Rhea family,
collectively and individually, were
grossly ~mistreating her.
Mr.. Dillon states that Miss Spence
refused to leave the Rheas. He call
ed at 1879 Belt avenue yesterday and
asked to see his sister-in-law. Mrs.
Rhea told him the girl was not in.
Mr.. Dillon said he would wait and see
her. In a few moments, however,
Mrs. Rhea invited Mr.. Dillon in the
house and brought the girl into the
room. Mrs. Rhea told Mr.. Dillon that
Lydia could go where she chose; that
she had level mistreated her and was
not depriving her of her liberty. Mr..
Dillon asked Mics Spence if she de-
sired to go home with him and she
told him "no.n He then said he would
| get her another home in st. Louis if
| she so desired. This offer was also
refused by the girl, who finally said
that she would remain with the Rhea
family until she was married, which
she told her brother-in-Iaw would be
in a short time. In her letters to her
sister, Mrs. Dillon, she often refers to
her sbeau."
Mr.. Dillon says he remained at the
Rhea residence about two hours and
was courteously treated by Mrs. Rhea
and other members of the family. Mr.
Rhea was not at home, but Mrs. Rhea
said her husband had no objection te
Miss Spence coming to this city with
Mr.. Dillon, repeating her former
statement that she was free to &c
where she pleased.
MIR. Dillon did not Q Miss Spence
alone, Mrs. Rhea being present while
the conference lasted. Mrs. Rhef
apologized to Mr.. Dillon for the rude
manner in which she treated his wife
on the occasion of her memorable visit
to the Rhea residence in quest O
her sister, last Saturday, remarkinl
that all parties concerned lost thei
tempers, for which she was sorry
Mrs. Dillon states that when she call
ed to see her sister, Mrs. Rhea STRUCK
her a severe blow and elected hel
from the house. =
Below is an extract from a lettel
written by Miss Spence to her sister
Mrs. Dillon. The letter is dated Sep
TENDER II, 1896.
81 am SO worried all the time l can
not sleep and ! have not one minut.
I can call my own. My soul is no
even my own. Now, sister, the soon
er you come the sooner 1 will b.
happy. If you only knew how l wan
to get away from this place you wouls
come at once and take me, for Inevel
will get away if you do not come aftel
me-"
Miss Spence seemed to be in gooe
health and spirits, and quite wei
pleased with her home, all of which
seems strange to Mr. and Mrs. Dillon
after the letters received from hel
imploring them to take her away from
the Rheas or she would do something
desperate. 1t certainly is a strange
case.
