SOUTHEAST NOTES.

Congressman Mosley believes in
the old maxim that "a bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush" and
refuses to squander any of his $10,-
600 in announcing his candidacy for
denomination. And all the Rcpub-
lican papers are bowling mad and
will rip him up the back at every op-
portunity. The newspapers that be-
long to this or that party "for reve-
nue. only" are losing their,grip among
the people.
B. 3. Cahoon is too clean man to
ever get the endorsement of the Re-
publican bosses of Missouri and
without their "sig." no man can
he considered in it. The Kansas City
Sunday Sun is red hot for Webster
Davis, and it is very probable that
Webster, the Sun and Filley will
rule. No decent man need apply.
Pennington Times:-Mr. J. w.
Ritter informs US that the Bald
Eagle gold mines in Madison county,
though not developed, have been
sufficiently prospected and enough
ore taken near the surface to prove
that they carry gold, silver and cop
per in sufficient quantities to make
them pay. The ore, he says, has
been found in four different places
around the mountain, and that he
has traced this ore for thirty miles,
enough to last for twenty years
hence.
The grand jury report of Oregon
County, with J. Posey Woodside as
foreman, was a lengthy document and
occupied nearly two columns of the
local paper. The report shows a
state of affairs similar to those that
existed in this county. The prose-
cutting attorney is charged with get
ting his fee first and letting the
county manage" for the fines, and
the circuit clerk and ex-officio re-
corder is charged with running his
Office in way that is not at all fiat
tering.
Pemiscot Press: The following
item, will probably be of interest to
the potato growers of this county is
found in an exchange: "Evaporated
potatoes, prepared the same as evap-
GRATED apples, are to be put on the
market from Minnesota next fall.
Last seasons potato crop was so
large that many millions of bushels
were wasted, and experiments were
made in evaporating potatoes. The
experiments were successful, and two
big factories for preparing potatoes
in this manner are building.
South Missourian: The Populist
held a congressional convention in
West Plains, a short time ago, to
nominate candidate for congress
for the 14th district. One of Oregon
counties citizen, a farmer, we are
informed, was candidate and came
within two votes Of receiving the
nomination over Livingston. And
would have received the nomination
anyway had Livingston extended
the same courtesy to Smith that
Smith did to Livingston-by voting
for Smith instead of himself.
Charlottesville Democrat: And
now q movement is on foot to change
the appearance of the flag of the
United States. 1t is proposed to
place thirteen stars in the center OF
the blue field, so arranged as to form
. star, and the remainder of the
stars placed in a circle around these.
It is hardly likely that the change
will ever take place. The flag that
our fore fathers carried in the revo-
iutionary and other was should be
good enough for the people now.
A few months ago a Pemiscot
county man was held up and robbed
OF his hat and pocket knife. Last
week Bollinger county man was
held up and robbed OF his pipe tobac-
CO and matches. In someother cOun-
! ties the candidates rob the farmers
