THE Regular Baptist Publishing Co.,
OF this city, is very anxious to have a
full meeting of the stockholders and
makes the following editorial state
ment:
1.-THE time is drawing near when the
stockholders of the Regular Baptist
Association will meet in the City OF
Mexico, Mo. We suppose that in
said meeting the stockholders will de-
lIberate upon the question Of the fu-
ture continuance of the Regular Bap-
tist Publishing House.
"We would be glad for not only the
stockholders to meet at the above
stated place, but for as many of ouz
brethren who are likewise interested
In our publishing cause to be at said
meeting. We all ought to meet as
one common brotherhood and freely
deliberate upon the best methods to
disseminate gospel truth"

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Manure spread fresh on the land
loses very little by evaporation, as the
soil ahsorbs and holds ammonia.
The Virginia station finds the ex-
pense of harvesting, cutting up and
filling into the silo to be about sixty
cents per ton.
The Southern COW pea ia winning
favor in the Northern States, and
Prof. Connell, of the Texas station,
thinks the Canada field pea will as
surediy win favor in the South. Plant
in fall or spring, with oats.
One of the best and cheapest ways
of building up the fertility of the soil
is by plowlng under green crops.
Sweet clover, being q rank grower, is
well adapted to this purpose, says an
exchange, but it Is not liked by the
average animal.
The largest farm in this country is
situated in the southern part of Louis
lana. 1t extends 100 miles north and
south and % miles east and west. II
was purchased In 1883 by syndicate
|sof Northern capitalists, by whom it Id
still operated.
The insects now recognized as In
some way to some extent injurious tc
some part of the corn plant, says ar
exchange, number 214 species, oi
which eighteen are known to infect
the seed, twenty seven the root and
subterranean part Of the stalk above
ground, 11s the leaf, nineteen the
blossom-that is the tassel and the
silk-forty-two the ear In the field
two the stacked fodder and twenty
four the corn in store, either whole o.
ground.
In harvesting, as well as in storage
potatoes should be exposed to light a
little as possible, says Farmers Bulle
tin No. SO of the United States Depart
ment of agriculture. In storing po'
tatoes low temperature is required
The potato tuber is uninjured by {
temperature of 80 degrees F., and one
authority gives the freezing tempera
ture of potatoes 500 degrees F
Warmth favors sprouting, which in
jures potatoes both for planting ant
eating.

THREE GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Lehman and Judson Talked to 1875
Psrsons.

TROY, Mo-, October 21.-After two
weeks of extended advertising by the
Republicans, assisted by committee
of three Boltocrats, aided by an ex-
Congressman, Messrs. Lehman and
Judson, the Boltocratic orators of st.
Louis, faced an audience of 125 voters
nC1c to-day, 25 of whom, by actual
count, were Democrats, and % of
these 25 were free silver men, leaving
exactly three gold Democrats in the
audience. This fairly represents their
strength IN this county, as every
Democrat in the county who was ever
known to have said word favorable
to gold, as well as many personal
friends of this county, had received
letters urging them to come to this
meeting. Only three Boltocrats were
present, and after the speaking one
of them declared to your correspond
emit his intentions of voting for Bryan
and the entire ticket. The Democ-
racy of Lincoln County is soiidly In
line, good for 1 200 majority for Bryan,
Champ Clark and the entire ticket.

three months In advance of the con-
vention-I refer to McKinley-show-
cd that the only real division In the
Republican party to-day 10 on the
question Of silver or gold.
To hear Of the gold men talk OF ma

ing the bonds issued prior to that date,

anything done with view Of adding
to the burden Of our debts is all right
from . gold standpoint. What right.
in all honesty, had we to add to the

THE REGULAR SCARE.
I see the regular three weeks-be-
fore the election scare has taken hold
Of the Republicans. That is worked
up; that flnds its way into the news
papers SO that the capitalists and the
money men who have been properly
scared will surrender their money to
the politicians. That is an old job.
However, I suppose it will work as
well this year - 1t always has. The
Republican pilots are busy telling in
the press Of the danger places that
confront them. A million or more
dollars must be had to bny the elec-
ton. One thing is sure, the country
will survive whether gold or silver
succeeds in thia election, but silver
would In my opinion break up the ex-
isting stagnation and bring prosperity
