SOUTHEAST NOTES.


Wingo's yard on West Main street,
is calicanthus that is neary 80
years old and has bloomed every
year since it was first planted. Mr..
Mike Deguire stated to the News
that forty years ago when he used to
spruce up and go Sparkling" he would
go by there and break off spray and
pin it on his coat, and at that time
it was the same size that it is now.
The hogs are on top over at Dexter.
After a two months trial the city
council has concluded not to try to
enforce the hog law.
Dunklin Democrat: Col. Fordyce,
as receiver, appointed by Judge Wear,
holds possession of the st. Louis,
Kennett & Southern road, from here
to Compbell. The Caruthersville end
of the road is dead, and no trains
have gone out on it since Tuesday,
April the 14th. L. B. Houck is
camped out at Clay Root, 8 miles
east of Kennett, with an engine and
train, and it is understood that he
will, burn the bridge on the approach
of any invader from this direction
and that he will resist all attempts
of the receiver to get possession.
Tuesday, the state supreme court
issued an alternative writ of prohi-
bition, directed to Judge Wear, as
the circuit Judge who appointed the
receiver, and to Col. Fordyce, as re-
ceiver, returnable Tuesday, May 5,
1896. At that time the supreme
court will pass on the right of A. j..
Kerfoot to ask for a receiver, it is
presumed, and on the jurisdiction of
Judge Wear. Until then, May 8,
the road viii! continue to be managed
by the receiver. 1t is not known
what will be done about the Penis
cot end. Carutherville is cut off
from its mail and express and must
again rely on the river. Our own
people must receive all their freight
by rail and are kept out of the ben
efits of the low freight rates of the
river.
The South Missourian at Alton,
says Oregon county gave Marsh Arm
old the largest plurality over Motley
of any county in the district, in 1894.
1t is an error; to Dunklin county be-
longs that honor. We gave him a
plurality of us, Oregon 6S6; we gave
him clear majority over Motley
and Livingston of SO; Oregon gave
him but 1O9 majority. You can t
wipe it out. Dunklin is the strongest
Democratic county in southeast Mo.
-Dunklin Democrat.
The S-M sis not in error" Bro.
Caruthers, we do not give up to
your assertion that Dunklin is the
banner Democratic county in this
district. Now listen. Dunklin has
a population of $4,000; Oregon a
population of 10000. Dunklin gave
Arnold rs votes over Motley, and
Oregon gave Arnold CSC over Motley
when, as matter of fact, Dunklii
county with her $1,000 only gave
Arnold 81 votes more than Oregon
with only 10000, or one-third less
population than Dunklin. Had Dun
kiln given Arnold over 900 majority
then she could have laid claim to be
ing the banner, but she did not
