Ed. RegtSter-The long spell of hot
weather having somewhat subsidized,
health appears to be much better in
this and adjoining localities. Two
weeks ago there were comparatively
few families in this section of country
who had not one or more cases of
sickness; the fact is, in many families,
nearly all were confined to bed at the
same time, with chills or fevers.
All is quiet out here now. Those
most given to gossip, have bat little to
talk now.
Since my last to the REGISTER, Rev.
Mr.. Jordan, of Bee Fork, Mo-, con-
Quoted a weeks series of meeting at
the church house near this point.
While he was an earnest faithful
there were no conversions as a result
of his work. But time works wonders.
1t appears that our worthy Commits
sioner, Prof. Hickman. is exertiug ev-
cry effort within him to put our coun-
ty to the front, educationally. This is
as it should be. Let our teachers
meet, exchange ideas, and it will not
only benefit them, but will benefit their
pupils; whatever tends to fill the
teacher with educational enthusiasm,
gives like impulse to the pupils un-
der his charge. What teacher has not
observed that fact? I'll venture the
assertion that such fact is based on
purely psychologist principles.
Not long ago Mrs. John Cain, Bel
grade, Mo-, visited friends in this To-
cality.
Last week Jesse Shy, of Lesterville,
visited in this locality. and spent
half day in the school at Goodland.
Jesse holds a first grade cestifcate,
and is having good success with his
school near Lesterville, which, owing
to much sickness in the district, was
closed for two weeks. He expressed
himself as being well pleased with the
manner in which the Goodland school
was governed. He is not so self-con-
ceited but that he can see and appreci-
ate true worth. The school at Good
land is getting along nicely, with an
enrolment of sixty-one pupils. The
daily attendance for August will be
nearly fifty.

Mrs. T. r. Terry. Her remains were

child of Mr.. and Mrs. n. w. Adams

cemetery.
Mr.. j. Quincy Adams, who has been
attending Louisville School of Medicine
for the past eight months, has returned
home, where he will remain for a few
months.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. Latham recently

In order to set at rest some of the
idle talk that has been afioat and to
satisfy the eager curiosity of those
who are prone TO disbelieve thing or
two, after having been correctly in
formed. we will state for their especial
benefit, (uusolicitedl that the gross
proceeds of the festival given by the
ladies Of the Presbyterian Sewing Cir
Gle at Workman's Hall on the 18th
inst were between $85 and $50, and
the net proceeds, $50. We will further
say 70 those who have remarked that
they would rather see than hear tell of
it. and to those who pretend to be
christians that are willing to wager
ten dollars that no such an amount
was made, are evidently violating
their obligation as given and taught
by the holy law, in making use of such
platitudes. II this does not put a
quietus to the curiosity seekers. we
will refer them to the treasurer for
fuller and more correct data. The
sum of the net proceeds was not so
large nor even SO small as to evoke
criticism or disgust from any one, ex-
cept from purely jealous or prejudi-
cial point of view. We have persons
here who are not professors of religion
that will readily take all such wagers,
il bona fide, even at Is 20 l shot.

If dollar be a dollar
Honest coin-without deceit
One may melt it, one may SWEET it,
But its value won't retreat.
Melt ten dollars-silver dollars
In unbiased melting pot,
And the silver "slug" resulting,
Only sells for "tive the lot"
Melt gold dollars-melt an eagle
In aforesaid melting pot
And the golden "slug" resulting,
Quickly sells for stem the lot"
Will you tell mckinley tell me
How those dollars equal are
If little glowing furnace
Puts on only one scar?
There was never yet equation that
Demanded legislation to establish right
to be,
An equation is equation
Else is it a fallacyl
And I'm thinking-quietly thinking
That poor man has no sense
If he vote to have dollar
That viii melt to fifty cents.

AN ANSWER.
Am l wrong?

You are wrong!
Your equations but fallacy-
Simple bosh-just rot, pure rot;
Your values legal fiction,
Which in fact existeth not.
You may melt ten golden dollars,
SIN the aforesaid melting pot"
And the svalue" that Temaineth,
From use resulteth not.
But the fact that you can take
The "slug" and have it coined free
Into ten more golden dollars,
Gives its t'yalue," don't you see?
But, without the right of coinage,
Legal "value' to impart,
Silver dollars melted, only
Sell for value in the mart.
So, then, I'll kindly tell you,
Those dollars unequal are,
Because by law--by act OF law
You give to one scar.
If You'll treat these metals just alike,
And put them on an equal plane,
When you melt ten dollar coins of each,
An equal value viii remain.
There never yet was legal s'value''
Where no legislation was
Your contentious but fallacy-
Unrighteous IS your cause.
And reckon-sureiy reckon
The poor man shows his sense
If he fix the silver dollar,
So 'twon't "melt to fifty cents"

The editor of the Poplar Bluff Re
publican says: when we were publish
ing a paper in 1872, in Mt. Vernon,
Ill, on the second floor, a store was
opened in the room under our Office.
The senior proprietor came up stairs
and contracted for three columns OF
space, for II months, locals each issue,
and $500 dodgers every week. He
remarked that it was a snap to get into
q town where the other business men
did not advertise. This firm started
on borrowed capital. In less than
three years it had money enough to
start two stores, one in Sedalia and
one in st. Louis. 1t dissolved partner
ship and each partner took a field to
himself. Bryan Nugent was the part
ner who made the contract with US,
aud who is now senior member OF B,
Nugent & Bro, the great St Louis
house. He not only owns the store
building and ground, but is uow erect
ing a modest little cottage home which
will cost him $S7, 900. We may add
that some OF the old mossbacks who
were in business at Mt. Vernon before
Bryan Nugent ever saw that place are
still there. grumbling about dull trade
and hard times"
A few weeks ago the station agent
here received basket containing fifty
one carrier pigeons, from Green Bay,
Wisconsin. He was requested to care
for them until weather conditions were

later than five o'clock in the morning.
He complied with the requirements,
turning the pigeons loose one bright,
quiet morning at about 4:S0. The

The Talk OF l.. A. Sharp before

In spite Of the rain and wind large
number of citizens assembled at repub

topic by l.. A. Sharp. Those who went

We're not in the least disappointed

Sharp we can only mention a few
"What would be the effects of the adop
ton of the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of IS TO L?
/. 1t would increase the wealth OF
the bullion owners.
2. 1t would necessitate a complete
change of all business tables and modes
of transaction.
B. Every man with goods to sell
would double the price.
4. Eventually the price of labor
would advance, but history has shown
that it would not be until everything
else had become staple.
5. The old soldier would get just the
me pension and be paid in money
whose purchasing power was only one.
half of its former amount.
6. The farmer would get one dollar a
bushel for his wheat and pay double the
former price for his provisions.
The rates Of interest on loans
would rise and as statistics show that
one-half of the present mortgages are
payable in gold a great panic would
ensue. So if you help one man you will
injure ten.
8. Our benevolences do not now meet
the demands, what would happen If the
contributions were cut in two.
o. And lastly the financial integrity
of this nation must vanish and oul
beloved flag be trampled in the dust
under the feet of such men as Tillmar
and Altgeld. Are you ready for these
conditions? II so, vote for Bryan and
