How dear to our heart
Is cash on subscription,
When the generous subscriber
Presents It to view;
But the man who don't pay
We refrain from description,
For perhaps, gentle reader,
That man might be you.

National Editorial Association, announc-
ing that the party had just departed for

Rev. Mr.. Nash has been conducting very
interesting meetings at the Presbyterian
church this week and large q attentive
audiences have greeted him on each occas-
ion. His rmo are for the main part
founded on Bible history and his elucida-
ito MS are profitable to all who are inter-
ested in religion and sacred literature.

his audiences have been growing larger
every evening. Afternoon meetings have
also been held with equally as good
results. The usual morning and evening

The ferry boat, Roy Lynds, had her hull
badly damaged one day last week by float
ing ice, and although every effort was
made to save her, she settled down until
the water covered her decks. A w%reckIng
crew then began removing the machinery
aud most of it was taken out by Monday.
No effort will be made to save the vessel
entire. as she lies in a bed of sand and
cannot be raised. The wrecked boat is a
considerable distance from her dock on
the Ray county shore, and a heavy cur
rent sweeps over her lower deck. Mr..
Tilton Davis was in Kansas City this
week for the purpose of procuring
another boat, but failing to find on there,
he went to Parkville, where he purchased
the Eagle, a very good vessel. and one that
can be put in frst-class condition by the
expenditure of a small of money.
She is now making regular trips across
the river at this point. One of the condi-
tons of the purchase, and the only one
upon which it conld be made, was that
the captain and crew of the Eagle should
be retained in their positions. Under
this agreement the crew of the sunken
boat are thrown out of employment.
Capt. Ii. III. Moore is in charge OF the
Eagle. He had command of the ferry
boat at Jefferson City for several years.,
and his father is one of the oldest steam
boat men on the Missouri river. The Roy
Lynds was not insured. She cost the
ferry company $500, and had been i'm
proved at considerable expense.
