cry member of the church will be pres

The Perryville Republican, has this
to sag of prominent citizen of this
county, which we heartily endorse:
''John Schwab. of Ironton, wishes to
go 10 tho St. Louis Convention as a
delegate from the 18th Congressional
District. Mr.. Schwab has labored
long in the Republican ranks, shirk-
ing no duty, and this is the first time
he has asked for anything at the hands
Of his party. We would like to see
Perry county give him her support"
The Democratic Mass Meeting to be
held at Ironton on the 18th of this
month should be attended by every
Democratic voter in the county. The
Democratic theory of government rec
ognizes the people as the sole source
of political power. II this is correct,
a duty devolves upon every citizen to
see to it that his whole duty has been
performed, and that evil political ac-
ton does not take place through any
fault of his. It is necessary to keep
the pillow going. but it is equally nee
essarvy that every man should look
after his party, for its course may have
more to do with his health and happi-
ness, and that of his family, than his
crops in any given year. If the people
had taken q wider and deeper interest
in political affairs, we would not have
been in our present unfortunate condi-
ton. Let every Democrat who loves
his country turn out on the 11tb. and
see to it, as far as he can, that his
party goes right on the question of
coinage. The convention at Sedalia
on the 10Th will settle the party's po-
sition in this State in regard to silver.
.Hello"! he called out as he rushed
In amongst the printers and fell over
the editors old broken chair, and
landed one hand in q pot OF printers
ink, and the other in the pastepot!
The excited man scrambled up, and
holding out his hands deprecatingly
continued-.Look here, you,"-(the
editor remarked that he was looking
that way)-s'you -, do you know
what is going on this Arcadia Valley?
Don't you see? No, you need not look
SO dsrnation pitiful at my hands and
scrimpled hat! That's what comes
from an old three-legged shackadoodle
editors chair in a feller's path when
he's in hurry! Now look here!
Don't you see what Arcadia Valley is
coming to? Big thing, sir, big thing,
and its going to be a boomin' before
long! Here's the UNITED STATES RIFLE
RANaE-you spell this with big letters
SEQ? Big thing. sir. big thing, for
ever and ever. and I'll be forever get
tin bigger! Great thing to have the
U. S. Army here. Then, sir. here's
the big Wooden Factory almost COM
pleted! Hear the whistle? That's it
blowing now! There, listen!
Why that's the new mill whistle across
the creek! You hear it? ALI these
new in 1896, and the year hasn't first
quartered yet! There's the big hub
factory, and the other big mills, and,
why. sir, look at the new buildings
a-goiu' up already! Every house rent
ed. and everyone at work who amt
too lazy! Valley goin' to be overflow
ing with people. Biggest thing and
best times that Arcadia Valley ever
saw, sir, right here on top of US, sir,
don't you see?" And the excited man
went out with his hands held out on
each side at respectful distance from
his clothes, to take a bath at 81.

A letter from Congressman Raney to
Judge Emerson. of date 26th March,
says the committee of the House hav-
ing the sundry civil appropriation bill
in charge, had reported favorably on
the $18. 900 Item for the Arcadia VAL
ley Rifle Range as an annex to Jeffer-
son Barracks. and that the bill would
pass the House the next day. The bill
was called up the next day-last Fri
day-but was not finally acted upon,
other matters being pushed ahead OF
it. There is no opposition to this item,
hence the appropriation will be made
when Congressional red tape shall be
exhausted. While the grange" is a
practical certainty, the delay in the
appropriation may result in deferring
the occupancy of it by the military un-
til early autumn. The officers at JEFF
ferson Barracks have been counting on
sending at least three companies of
cavalry to the s'ranger in early sum-
mer, but they will, of course. be con-
trolled by the action Of Congress,
should there be any considerable delay
in final action on the appropriation
bills. At any rate it now seems likely
that we shall see the bluecoats and
hear the rattle of army sabers in our
valley before the leaves on our noun
tains put on their next autumnal hues.
