Keytesville Township Mass-Mesting.

|
The Democrats OF KeytesvilIe town.
ship met in mass-meeting at the court
house last Saturday afternoon for the
purpose of selecting 13 delegates to
attend the convention the following
Tuesday.
The meeting was called to order by
| T. J Moore in the absence of Commit
teeman NJ. w. Anderson, who was not
present owing s0 sieknessiu his
family
Oen. E w. Price was elected tenn
porary chairman and r. D. Edwards
temporary secretary.
Temporary organization was made
permanent.
On motion of J. A. Collet the chair
man appointed committee of three,
consisting of Mr.. Collet, Walter Her
ring and Judge J. L. Stacy, to select
the IS delegates to the county con-
vention.
The committee retired and in a few
minutes returned and submitted the
following list of delegates:
C. B. Ccawley, E. w, Price,
G. B. Hurt, ]. A. Collet,
VIM. Tillotson, w. T. Stevenson,
Walter Herring, J. B. Culbertson,
T. J. Martin, J. ]. Moore,
A. L. Welch, w. w. Hancock,
]. F. Pratt.
o. B. Anderson objected to the list
for the reason that the name of Judge
J. L. Stacy, the other member of the
committee appointed on choosing
delegates, did not appear as one of
the delegates.
Mr.. CoIlet assured Mr.. Anderson
that Judge Stacy had been offered a
place, but declined to accept, and it
may be truthfully said of Judge
Stacy's refusal to appoint himself on
he delegation he was becomingly
modest and bore unmistakable evil
ience, of good-breeding.
Some one moved that the list of
delegates as reported by the commit
ZEE be ratified by the convention,
which was done, but rather indiffer-
,ntly, and with every indication of "a
ired feeling.
Some one moved to adjourn. That,
90, was carried, with every sign
f languor, for everybody desired to
epart hence and seek repose.
Keytesville township will have an
ther mass-meeting some of these
ays. Come out and see the fur fly,
an effort is made to run it like last

DROPPED DEAD.
Edward Williams, Sr., of Salisbury Died
Suddenly Monday Morning of
Heart Disease.

Our neighborrng city of Salisbur.
was shocked Monday by the announce
ment that Edward Williams, Sr., hac
suddenly expired at neighbours home
His sudden taking off was made
all the more shocking by the fact tha
his brother, M. R. Williams, died il
the same manner only a few week;
ago.
DR., c. A. Jennings, coroner, held
an inquest on Edward Williams, Sr.
at which the following testimony wa:
adduced;

HE came to my house about 7

spoke another word. As he aimed to
sit down he just fell over right back
wards. He did not tell me where he
was going. ran to the door and
called Mrs. McMullen. I told her to
come and see what was the matter
with Mr., Williams; he had fallen in
the floor. Mrs. McNIullen came at |
ouae and asked gae TO give her the |
which l did. 1 do not know
whether she used it or not, as she |
asked me to 60 for his wife and as l

THE KENTUCKY pEnJUHEn..

The Louisville Courier Journal says that
the testimony Of Finley Anderson, the
confessed perjurer. was not material. and
that ne only corroborated the testimony
of fifteen other witnesses, who swore
that Powers had said that it was neces-
sary for Goebel to be killed. But that Is
not the point. Anderson makes affidavit
that his testimony was false and that he
was paid by T. c. Campbell, who prose-
cuted the case, and another Goebel, brother
of the dcceas ed. to testify against Powers,
although he had first assured them that.
he did not know anything against the
accused.
That being the case, The logical conclu-
sion is that the evidence of the prosecu-
ton was false from beginning to end. and
was manufactured for the occasion. 1t
would be monstrous TO convict man upon
such testimony.

A MONUMENT TO DIR. INQUIRE.

The meeting at the Jefferson Hotel last
night showed how deep was the impress
left OH this community by the life and
character Of DR.. Hunter MCGUIRE. If the
aim Of life is to be measured by the abid-
ing influence left for good then DR.. Nc
CURE achieved the end OF life TO the full.
for he Went about doing good, and the re-
suits of his efforts will endure forever in
the hearts of his patients, his friends, and
his fellow Confederates.
A monument can add nothing to the sub
stance Of Dr. McGuires greatness, but it
purpose and more ti1nid Of heart to fight
the good iist, to the end, even as he waged
the lifc-.org battle against disease. and
suffering, and death, and by the manful-
struggle inmortalizcd himself forever in
the hearts of those who came within the
power of his presence. Even a statue
will not remain forever. but the glory OF
an example like DIR. Mcguire should be
pcrpetuated in bronze that its influence
may endure 10 generations yet unborn, and
stir other souls to the high motives that
shaped his life.

action was brought against the paper.
The evidence given seemed to show that
the only fault with the expression was that
it was not strong enough. The case was
taken from court to court i'll the usual
way until it reached the highest tribunal,
the final decision was that the editor would
have been perfectly justified If he mad
said that the plaintiff had acted like
an unmunnerly boor;" but since he had
said that the plaintiff actually was an
unmannerly boor,'' he had committed libel

wasted unless the work is directed by
