The editor is indebted to Mr.. Jno.
W. Jaquith of St. Louis for a copy of
Cuba Libre," twO-step march com
posed by Senor Ramon AQuabeIla. a
Cuban patriot and pianist living in ST.
Louis. Half the proceeds of the sale
of the march will be devoted by the
composer and his publishers, the Shat
finger Music Co., for the relief of
lCuban sufferers. The march is simple
and clear in its movement but bright
and spirited. The cover is artistically
decorated in red and blue with the
Cuban flag as centerpiece. Friend
John has our thanks for his kind re-
membrance.
There was a wedding at the cOlored
Methodist church Monday night. The
contracting parties were Benjamin F.
Hale aud Mary Cooley. When the
minister said these words .'if any man
can show just cause why they may not
be lawfully joined together let him
| al i
peace, - dusky damsel in the rear of
the church jumped to her feet and ex-
citedly shouted, Il Object!" Il Object!"
But as the preacher paid no attention
to the interruption and went on with
the ceremony, the dusky damsel was
not offered an opportunity TO state the
nature OF her objections.
The case against Henry and Z. X.
| Max charged with killing &. a. With
er5 at Piedmont last fall came up in
| the Wayne county circuit court last
week. The defense made af1idavits
declaring prejudice on the part of
Judge Green, who called in Judge
| Wear of Poplar Bluff to try the case.
| When Judge Wear got on the bench
| the defendants asked for a change of
venue from Wayne county but this was
| denied them. They then asked for a
| severance which was granted and Kirk
| Max announced ready for trial. 1t re-
quired couple of days to secure a
| jury, and the taking of testimony was
| begun Monday. Trial of the case will
require all this week. 1t is not thought
Henry Max will be tried at this term
of the court.
Mrs. X. f. Delauo returned to Iron
ton last Saturday after an absence OF
two months spent in ST. Luke's hospi-
tai, St. Louis. While gone, Mrs.
Delano underwent a painful and seri-
Gus surgical operation, but thanks TO
the skill aud watchful care and atten-
tion of DR.. H. II. Mudd, the surgeon
in charge, she returns to IroutOn,
| greatly i'm proved in general health and
wholly recovered from the effects OF
| the operation. Mrs. DelanO is eXtrav-
agant in her praises of the manage
ment of ST. Luke's and says the attend
ants were unceasing in their efforts to
make her comfortable. To this and
the rare scientific skill of DR. Mudd
she attributes the rapidity with which
| she cOnvalesced. The lady's many
friends here are highly gratified at the
announcement of her restoration to
| health.
