THE PARSON AND TT
ROOSTER.
HE

A good rooster story comes
from a Somerset county cor
respondent. A certain clergy
man whom. we will call Rev.
Mr.. Little, gave one of his par
ish;oners a rooster, as a slight
token of esteem. In the family
was a bright 4-year-old boy,
and he always called the roost-
er Brother Little" One morn
ing the little fellow saw the
rooster coming toward the
house, aud he shouted, Grand
ma, here comes Brother Lit
tie"
Grandma never stepped to
look out or make any inquiries,
bat startly quickly to pick mp
and set things to rights about
the room, This done. she ask
ed the boy, Where is Brother
Little?"
just gone into the stable, u
replied the boy.
Grandma thought she might
have time to change her dress
and quickly lodged into anoth-
er room and in very short time
appeared attired in another
gown, but somewhat out OF
breath. Again she asked the boy
if he had seen Brother Little.
YES" said the innocent
child; "there he goes back to
barn with the rest OF the hens. "
Grandma did not say a word
but sat down for a few minutes
to rest, and later she seemed to
enjoy the joke with her grand.

was, as 1 apprehended, a re

he had letters upon him that
vouched for his integrity. He
had been accused of stealing
5000 in gold by a miner, but we
not only established his inno'

of the real thief.
After this I saw Jack no

had gone to 4 political meeting
where he was persona non grata

trouble. Jack killed two men.

with bullets. An old negro took

If he had one bullet hole in him
he had 90. He had no doctor,

thought he had Il bare chance

of his pulling through. His

weeks he going around as game

from Pasadena. He had gone

favor of the belle of the town

HON. B. G. MOSS.
A GOOD MAN TO REPRESENT MARION
IN THE LEGISLATURE.
Indications Are That He Will Be Winner
An Old Citizen Of The County, An
Honast Farmer Of Warren Town
ship, a Gentleman Whore
Reputation is Beyond
Recroach

Hannibal, Mo-, May 1O.-ln
our mention of the countyucan-
didates Il few days ago the
name of Mr.. Ben. G.. Moss, can
didate for representative was
unint entionally omitted. Mr..
Moss is one of the best known
men in Marion county and we
should not be at all surprised ii
he received the nomination. He
is one Of the old citizens OF the
county, an honest farmer of
Warren township and a gentle
man whose reputation is above
reprodch. His ancestors settled
in Marion county in the year
1916 and of him it can truthfully
be said that he is a natural
Missourian. With the eXcep-
ton Of a few years he has re-
sided in Mariou county all his
life and all who know him re-
spect him for his honesty and
integrity. He is an educated
gentleman, a fluent .talker and
we'll posted on the current top
les of the day. He is the first
and only one of the Moss family
who ever asked for al office and
he thinks he is entitled to some
consideration. His democracy
is unquestioned and he is quail
fed to perform the duties of the
Office to which he aSpires in
every particular. One of his
opponents, Judge Hawkins, has
been in public Office for d quar-
ter of a century and the people
believe in the principle of rota.
ton in Office.
Mr.. Moss has been in Hanni-
bal this week, has made two or
three public speeches and has
mingled with the citizens freely.
He has made numerous friends
here and we believe he will
carry the city over both his OPP
ponents.
The voters have nothing
against either Judge Hawkins
or Mr.. M. L. Farris, but they
seem to think that Mr.. Moss is
the best fitted for representa-
tive and we think they will vote
accordingly on the day of the
primary. The fact that Mr..
Moss has never before been in
politics gives him an advantage
over the other candidates and
for this cause he will doubtless
poll a large vote throughout
the county. Several of the most
prominent citizens in Hannibal
are working hard for him and
this will certainly count in the
windup. He also feels quite
confident of success and we
hope he will not be disappoint-
ed.
