The story that Jim Lindley told on
Claib Jackson in 1852, when they
were opposing candidates for con-
gress, has been revived and made to
apply to two opposing Democratic
candidates for office IN a neighboring
county, and is gong the rounds of
the press. Jackson and Lindley made
their canvass before the days Of rail-
roads in Missouri. They travelled
separately in a one-horse buggy, and
met each other on the stump face to
face in debate. On a certain day
Jackson travelled ahead of LIndley
and stopped at farm house where
there was a lovely little girl whom
Jackson petted and to whom he gave
candy and won her admiration. 1t
CHANGED that Lindley stopped at the
same house later in the day and met
the same little girl. When he reveal
ed to her that he was a candidate for
congress and that Jackson was his op-
ponent, she very candidly told him
that she liked Mr.. Jackson best for
the reason that he gave her candy
Il will give you candy too" said Mr.
Lindley, and suiting the action to the
word he handed her quite package
But" said the little one. ''Mr. Jack
son kissed me-" well" said Jim
Il will kiss you too" and did so
Now" said he don't you like m'
best?'; No" she replied, "Mr. Jack
son kissed mamma too" Jim saic
he drew the line at mamma, and lef
with 70 expectation of getting a vot
from that house.

Return to Home Print.

With this weeks issue of the CoUR
TER we cease using a patent side
We have tried the patent for a few
months and do not like it, except for
the money there is IN it. That it is a
| cheaper way to get up a paper there
IS no question, but 1t IS not the best or
most satisfactory way. Some of our
readers tell US they never look at the
patent side of their paper. which is to
say the money paid for paper having
a patent side is half thrown away, and
this We know is not a pleasing feature
of journalism
Our next weeks issue will be an all
home-print. We will resume the
publication of our boreder county
notes compiled from our invaluable
exchanges, and thus give our readers
the benefit of the principal news
items from near by" counties as we'll
as the home happenings. The in
crease in the price of all printing ma
terial, including paper, compeIs US to
raise the price of the COURIER to
$1.25 instead of 81 as formerly. To
this we are su re our patrons will not
object when from actual trial they
find the difference IN value in favor of
an all home-print, compared with a
patent side more than compensates
for the difference in price. Give us a
trial and see If we are not telling you
cold facts.

One of the best bargains in the
purchase of a farm of recent date is
that of the VIM. c. Swain farm, four
miles northwest of Keytesville, by
Jesse T. Butts of Enid, Oklahoma, for
which he paid the low price of $50
per acre. Every foot of the land is
tillable and the soil is first-class. The
improvements need renovating to
some extent, but without house or
barn The land is we'll worth the price
paid. The purchaser was born and
raised in Saline county, and knows the
worth of Missouri soil. He will moi
move here until fall. Most likely w
c. Swain, the former owner, will cul
tivate the farm this year. The CoUR
TER Will give Mr.. Butts the Charlton
county news while he is away from
his new home.

In Memoriam.

We regret to announce the killing
of Oscar Holman, an exemplary
young man, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel Holman, living three miles
north of Keytesville. Four months
since Oscar went to Ardmore, Macon
county, and went to work on the rail-
road section. Last Saturday about
$50 o'clock p. m. he quit work with
the intention of coming home. 1t was
very stormy evening, the wind and
S6 snoM iEe b9th 9fthhckR RlaaFWHlPfd aF WHlPfd6Te on Tie way
TO his boarding house, his cap was
pulled down over his ears and his coat
collar turned up around his neck.
After walking on the track short dis
tance he was overtaken by a railroad
train running backwards, whose aP-
proach he did not hear on account OF
the storm and he did not see because
he was travelling in the same direction.
The engineer and brakelnen seemed
not to have seen him, at least the ca
boose of the train struck him vlo-
lentlv In the back, knocking him
down, after which the caboose, one
car and the locomotive ran over his
body, killing him instantly. The left
leg, left arm and back part of his head
were fearfully crushed.
His father received the sad news
Saturday evening in time to take the
midnight train for Moberly, where he
was joined by his brother-in-law,
Fred Phelan. who went with him tC
Ardmore and brought the corpse tc
Keytesville Monday morning. The
remains were taken home and funera
services conducted by Rev. Levi:
Route in the presence of large con
course of friends and relatives, afteI
which interment took place in the Ben
nett cemetery. DSCSdSCd was LII 'i>
24th year of his age, and was borr
and grew to manhood on the hom'
place near town. He prOfeSSed re
ligion and joined the c. P. churcl
when 10 years of age, and has been
worker in the Masters vineyard eve
since. His life has been of that char
acter that assures his sorrowing par
ents and relatives that it was well wit
him in the sad hour of his dissolu
ton, and that he waits with open arm
to welcome them on the other shore
Say ye to the righteous: 1T shall b
well with him"

A SYMPATHIZER.

]. B. Stamper of Clifton Hill, who
buys poultry in Keytesville, came
over Sunday evening and returned
Monday morning. We are not ad-
vised as to which of Keytesville's fair
daughters Brother Stamper called on
Sunday evening, but he is accused OF
having a matrimonial bee in his bon
net. and when good-looking wld-
over takes a notion that way you may
expect to hear something soon. He
has been denying it heretofore, but
this time he was candid enough to re-
quest Mrs. Cook to tell the old maids
in and around Keytesville that he was
in need of housekeeper.

There was frightful train collision

miles east of independence, Mo-,
late Tuesday afternoon. The colid-

the second, drawing eight cars and
running 40 miles an hour, crashed
into the rear of the front train and
wrecked the parlor car. Two per-

were more or less injured and one
missing at last accounts.
