A fatal accident, which has
cast sorrow over the Gainesville
community, happened last Saturday
morning about 10 o'clock. Mr..
Charles Kidd, while hauling logs,
was crushed to death by one of the
logs falling from the wagon upon
his body. Before descending hill,
he stopped his team, loosed the
chain Which bound the logs, and
with it locked one of the wheels of
the wagon. When the foot of the
hill was reached, in attempting to
unlock the wheel and rebind the
logs, a slight decline in the road
caused a heavy log, sixteen feet
long, two and one-half feet in di-
ameter, to topple upon him.
Death ensued almost instantly. The
remains were buried at Hatchie
graveyard Sunday in the presence
of large concourse Of people. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Pickens. Charles Kidd,
aged about A years, was an indus
trious, enterprising citizen, an hon
orable man, held in high esteem by
all who knew him. He came to this
county about the year 1872 from
East Tennessee. A wife and two
married daughters survive, who
have the sympathy of many friends.

The Press-speotasor and Republican
Bouquets.

Not content with its indirect slap at
Sheriff elect F. M. Veatch and its en-
couragement of bolters in Salisbury
township in its issue of Nov. 9, the
Salisbury Press Spectator makes men
ton last week that ''its popular Re-
publican friend, A. l.. Friesz, ran
ahead of his ticket in almost every
precinct in Charlton county for prose.
cutting attorney"
1t is perfectly right and proper for
a Republican paper to puff a nominee
of its own party who made a good
showing at the polls by leading his
ticket, but it is in exceedingly bad
taste for paper, posing as a sheet OF
opposite political faith, to usurp that
prerogative-
IF the Press-Spectator has made up
its mind to break into the ranks of
Republican journalism it should make
a public announcement to that effect.
Why hasn't the P-S dealt out a
dose of taffy to the following Demo
Gratis on the county ticket who got a
larger majority than either Bryan or
Dockery:
]. N. Gipson for representative, F.
M. Veatch for sheriff, E. w. Herring
for treasurer, A. F. Arlington for
county surveyor and O. P. Ray for
public administrator?
Perhaps the P.-S. threw all of It's
bouquets al its Republican friends and
didn't have any left for the county
Democratic officials elect who received
larger majorities than the head OF
their ticket.

A Bad Political Liver.

BY copying the following article
from the Moberly Headlight, a Re-
publican newspaper, the Salisbury
Democrat pats Renegade Riley Hall
on the back and strikes ex-Congress-
man R. N. Bodine and Congressman
w. w. Rucker squarely in the face,
without any just cause or provoca-
ton, which leads US to believe that the
Democrats political liver is badly out
of order:
'.U. S. Hall spoke for the Demo-
Gratis at the courthouse last Monday
night. He is without a doubt the
ablest Democrat in the Second dis
trict. The Democrats turned him
down for Bodine and Rucker, but he
is getting "lnto line" again, and We
should not be surprised to see him
"bob up" for the congressional
nomination in the next Ground up"

Death of W. L. Ganson.

". L. Ganson, who was for several
years an efficient and popular con.
ductor on the Wabash railway, and
who married Miss Emma Stevens,
most estimable lady of Keytesviile in
1873, died from the effects of sec.
cnd stroke of paralysis at Chicago the
fore part of this week.
Mr.. Ganson had gone to Chicago
to visit his brother and had about
perfected arrangements to invest some
money in the dry goods business with
his Chicago kinsman, but his plans
were foiled by a second stroke of
PARALYSIS which resulted fatally.
His wife was wired to at Kansas
City, their home, and reached her
husbands bedside four days before
his death. Everything that a loving
wife could do or medical skill sugg est
was done to alleviate his sufferings,
but to no avail.
The almost heart-broken wife and
Steve, their only son, who was born in
Keytesville, and who is now in his
22nd year, mourn the death of
kind, devoted husband and indulgent
father. They have the sincerest sym
pafhles of their Keytesville friends in
their sad bereavement.
Mr.. Ganson's remains were con-
veyed to Montgomery City Wednes-
day and laid to rest in the Montgom-
cry City cemetery by the side of his
lamented father-in-law, Thos. Stevens.
a form% citizen of Keytesyille, who
was beloved by every man, woman
and child in our town.
No man was ever truer to a friend
than w, L. Ganson, as the editor of
this paper has ample reason to know
from long acquaintance with him.
In his death we are keenly conscious
of personal loss of one who had been
our friend in time of need, and
friend in need is a friend indeed.
We mingle our tears with the sor-
rows of those who knew him as we
knew him, and especially do we con-
dole with Mrs. Ganson and Steve in
the dark hour of their affliction.

CRIMINAL CASES.

State of Missouri VS.. ]. S. Vande-
venter, robbery; defendant withdraws
plea of not guilty heretofore entered,
enters plea Of guilty, and his punish
ment is assessed by the court at i'm
prlsonment in the penitentiary for a
term of Is years. DR.. Vandeventer
will be remembered by the COURIER S
readers as the chief instigator in the
robbery of John Rodgers of near La
gonda of $2,e5o the night of the
10Th of last June. 1t was rumored
that Vandeventer would try the ruse
of insanity in order to escape punish
ment, but if he had ever intended to
do SO he changed his mind. Vande-
venter's accomplices in the robbery of
Rodgers were Joseph and Arthur Nc
Sparren, who pleaded guilty at the
last September term of circuit court
at Salisbury, and were sentenced to
the penitentiary for five years, each.
When sentence was passed by Judge
Butler on Vandeventer Tuesday morn
ing, the prisoner seemed not to be In
the least perturbed. Vandeventer is
55 years old, is a widower and has
two children-a son and daughter-
both of whom are grown.
!. Same VS.. B. F. Litter, No. I, felo-
NOUS assault; nolle prosequl.
Same VS.. B. F. Llttler, No. 2, felo-
NOUS assault; plea of not guilty here
tofore made Withdrawn, plea of guilty
entered, and defendant sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary. The
court paroled Littler during good be-
havior. The two above cases against
B. F. Littler are the outgrowth of his
troubles with n. B. Welch of near Pee
Dee. His parol bond in the sum of
$500 was approved with B. F. Welch
and Thos. J.Llttler as securities. Eittler

him at another time. He
has been a tough citizen and may
well congratulate himself that he has
gotten off as we'll as he did. He is
young, and there is ample time yet for
his reformation The will begin now.
1t is to be hoped that he will take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to conduct
himself more civilly hereafter.
