this reason, it is alleged, Mr.
Beaucham charged that all was not
right about the collectors Office,
and that an investigation would re-
veal a shortage of considerable
amount. Mr.. Stotts did not treat
the matter with "silent contempt. I"
The county court was called together,
MIR. Stotts produced his books, and
after thorough examination, every
thing was found straight as q

Perryville Sun: Lewis Fasshold,
a lad about 15 years old, had mar
row escape from death last Saturday.
The young man with James Vertrese,
another young man, as companion
were out hunting and concluded to
visit the grape patch of VIM. Osier
for mess of grapes. While in the
patch Fasshold's gun from some
cause exploded, the load passing up
in front of his face clipping off the
end of his nose, tearing his hat and
filling his face with powder. It was
close call and the young man says
he wants no more hunting in his.
VIII the merchant who is wise ever
cease to advertise? Yes-when the
trees grow upside down; when the
beggar wears crown; n;when ice forms
on the sun; when Johnny forgets his
gun; when gold gets too cheap; when
women secrets keep; when the fish
forget to swim; when the world comes
to an end; when old Satan sings a
hymn; when the girl goes back on
gum; when the small boy hates u
drum; when no politician schemes;
when mince pies make pleasant
dreams; when you like to smell a
skunk; when cold water makes you
drunk; when the drummer has no
brass; when these things have come
to pass-then the merchant who is
wise may neglect to advertise.-Ex.
Robert Howard, nephew of Pro-
bate Judge Howard. of New Madrid,
was shot and killed at Friar's Point,
Miss, last week
Fifty-one carrier pigeons were turn
ed loose at Ironton not long since and
made the trip to Green Bay, Wis, in
less than twelve hours.
New Madrid has probably the larg-
est bean ever grown in Southeast
Missouri. 1t is II inches long, II
inches in width and an inch thick.
The Republican leaders frankly
admit that if the election should
come off now instead of next Novem-
ber, the Democrats would sweep the
country by a great majority, but
claim that different conditions
will prevail on election day. No one
familiar with the political methods
of the men who have charge of the
Republican campaign can doubt for a
moment their plans for bringing
about different conditions. The
people are desperately in earnest
this time, Mr.. Filley, and you will
ind it impossible to debauch the
rural districts as you have st. Louis
in the past.
Southsast Gazette: The Gazette s
seven children celebrated his 53rd
birthday, August 9th by putting a
gilt paper crown on his head, reciting
in unison a speech composed for the
occasion by his twelve-year-old
daughter, Marie, and presenting him
small gifts from each with verses
attached on cards. The verses were
composed by Marie, the poet of the
family.
Daily Call: W. E. Lutz has a
chicken on exhibition at his COOP
that is the possessor of ten we'll de-
veloped toes. Four toes, it seems,
should satisfy any well regulated
chicken, but this one is not only well
regulated but apparently is conscious
of the fact that it is little betterofl
than most OF its brethren.
Dunklin Democrat: A Mr.. Steele,
of Jefferson county, is the Republi.
can nominee for congress in the 18th
district, having been nominated at
Pennington last week. The Perry
county people think it strange that
Robb and Steele should be the nomi-
nees in the same district.
Greenrille Journal: Judge Nalle
of Fredericktown has turned his back
upon the Hanna syndicate and is now
in line for Bryan and free silver and
the revival of prosperity. Though
many foot sore Republicans have
limped into the Democratic agency
of late, there is still room for more
and welcome that will make their
hearts glad.
