j. S. Benson went TO St. Louis last
week. and Carl Benson, Jr., returned
with him. Carl has been attending
commercial college in the city.
| j. j. Francis and family were in
town Friday.
The new hotel will soon be under
roof.
Annapolis has a new jeweler, which
fact was not generally known until j.
s. Benson took a watch to st. Louis to
be repaired last week. Looking
through the watch the St. Louis man
said, 1.-The man who repaired this
watch the last time must have had too
many wheels; there is one gone" MIR.
Il. thought he was joking at first, but
the workman called another man in
the establishment as a witness, and
the second man said: ..Yes, there is
one wheel gone, and there is another
one in wrong side up" The watch
belonged to Mr.. B., but young man
of this city had been carrying it for
few days, and when it stopped he went
inside to ascertain the cause; but after
dissecting the watch, he had more
wheels than he knew what to do with
The advocates of the free coinage of
silver are constantly meeting the
query, will you support the nominee
in go in case he is gold bug?" The
answer should be unequiyocal. In the
language of d. B. Hill, 81 am Dem
ocrat.'' 1 am a Democrat because of
the broad principle of universal suf-
frage, and of majority rale that un-
derlies Democracy. 1t is the one
grand principle that takes the high.
the low, the rich. the poor, and places
them on an equal footing before the
law. 1t is the golden rule of politics.
1t is the principle that will encircle
the name of jefferson in a halo of
glory and connect it with the sweetest
and dearest thoughts of the free and
enlightened world. The name Democ-
racy is nothing. but the principle is
indestructible. As long as the party |
adheres to the principle the humblest |
position in the ranks is honorable |
enough for me. But when this great |
principle of majority rule becomes a
thing of the past, and the party |
is Democratic in but one thing, and |
that a name; when faction (if it ever |
does) takes possession of the party
by fraud and false pretense, |
will not only not support that party |
against the principles of Democracy.
but will support the principles of De-
against all parties of what
eyer name. / will abide the will of |
the majority without murmur, but |
will never knowingly and willingly |
submit TO minority rule.
The father, mother and son of F. P. |
Rees came over from Creel Springs, |
Ills, to visit him last week. They |
came through in wagon, and intend |
to start on the return trip tomorrow.
The house on the old Justice place |
on the Crane Pond road burned last |
night, and Mrs. Rusher. the wife of |
the last occupant, was there alone. ex-
cept for the company of two small |
children. Her husband was over on
the st. Francois River. and when |
found she had passed the night by a |
little chunk fire without shelter. The |
house nestled in among tho hills, far
removed from neighbors, and no one
knew of the fire until this afternoon.
Rev. Alcorn preached to an appre-
ciative audience here this evening. |
Bro. A. is power with the people. |
and is capable of doing much good.
