A CRY FROM HIGGIGSVILLE.
Oh, men Of heads, and hearts, and votes,
Will you not hear our cryf
The county seat must soon be moved,
Or all of us will die.
Die; yes, we must, and be forgot
Lost in b dark abyss,
And all because you would not give,
just give rs only this.
We've had a branch for many months
OF that good court house tree;
Its precious fruit and gracious leaves
Have caused our blind to see,
But OIL there's not an ache nor i'll,
Which on u loved ones fall,
That would not leave, and come no more
II we but had 1t all.
We've planped and prayed, we've done ur
best;
Our nights are full of pain.
We've rome to you in sweat and tears;
We come to you again.
OF North, OIL South; Oh East, OF West,
Will you not hear our moanT
Grant us the prayer 80 humbiy asked;
Grant 1t, or we are gone!
And In the years which are to be,
LOT in the grave Well lie;
And DER our tombs the winter winds
In winter storms will sigh.
And worse than this O thousand times,
At least, II seemed to us,
The epitaph that will be read:
This ENDS TIE COURT HOUSE FUssl''

The greatest issue IN point of interest
now before the people is the money
question. There can be no straddling
it longer. 1t demands settlement. In
its solution are involved the liberties of
the people. Missouri will send TO the
