Jo JohnsOn's Birthday.

10 Johnson, a former Missouri
newspaper man, but who has been
for several years engaged in the SER
vices of Uncle Sam as a post-ofice
Inspector, and is now in charge of the
New Orleans division, with headquar-
ters at New Orleans, had a birthday
last Friday, and fittingly celebrated
the important event by inviting the
Missouri delegation, who were in at
tendance upon the National Editorial
association held at New Orleans last
week, to partake of an elaborate
spread with him at a French hotel.
1t is needless to say that the feast
comprised the choicest viands in the
land, for genial, generous, gentlemanly
10 Johnson is a gem of the purest
ray serene when it comes to enter
tanning his friends, and especially
when they are from Missouri. As a
feeble compensation OF their appre-
citation of his splendid hospitality,
Mr.. Johnson's guests presented him
with handsome pair of cuh-buttons.
Although 10 had not worn cuffs for
10 years, one of the ladies present
assured him that if he would make
use of his cuf-buttons and take to the
cuff habit that his prospects of be-
coming a benedict were not entirely
hopeless. We trust the lady is true
prophet, and that the next time 10
treats his Missouri friends to a birth
day dinner Mrs. Johnson will be there
to preside as queen of the feast.

Tbs Childran's Home SOoiatv.

Rev. David Gay, state superinten-
dent of the chiIdren's home society OF
St. Louis. was in Keytesville Wednes-
day to make arrangements with the
county court to have transferred to
the home the custody Of the one-year
old baby girl of Mrs. Stinson, who
is an inmate of the county poor farm.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davenport, the good
people who have charge of the inmates
at the county infrmary, came along
with the babe and its mother and de-
livered the child in good condition
and nicely dressed to Mr.. Gay, who
left with it on the noon train for St.
Louis. Mrs. Stinson is feeble-mind-
ed, and this, coupled with her hus-
bands worthlessness, is the cause of
her being an inmate of the county
alms-house. While here Mr.. Gay
made the COURIER office a pleasant
call and gave US an account of the
good work being done by the home
society. They find and take a great
many orphan and helpless children to
the home, but they do not stay there
very long. The managers secure for
them, as rapidly as possible, homes in
good families where they will be well
cared for. Mr.. Gay said there were
but IS or 20 children in the home
just at the present time, notwithstand-
ing the fact that in each of the months
of December and January last they
took IN ~ children, nearly all of whom
have since been provided with perma-
nent homes. They took to the home at
one time from Iron county 10 child
ren. This institution is supported al
together by private donations. They
have asked OF the legislature a dona-
non to Enlarge tFiefr 6uffdsng. but
were refused because 1t was not a
state institution. They were told
that If they would surrender the prop
erty to the state it would be we'll pro-
vided with funds to run it, but the
offer was refused for the reason that
all state institutions were run by ma
chinery that savors strongly of
politics.

Brooh-Corn.

1t occurs to us that it would be a
good idea for a goodly number
of our farmers to try their
luck at raising a small crop
of broom-corn this year, Any ground
that produces good corn will also pro-
duce good broom corn. Ordinarily,
broom-corn brings sos to $85 per
ton, but owing to its scarcity it is now
worth on the market about $500 per
ton. There are several varieties of
broom corn, but the Evergreen and
Golden are considered by broom
makers as being the best.

Another Landmark Gone.

Thomas Theophilus Elliott depart
ed this life at the residence of his son.
George N, in Keytesvllle the evening
of March 4, 1900, aged SO years, 9
months and days.
Deceased was a native of Prince
Edward county, Virginia. He came
to Missouri with his parents in 1887
and settled on farm, near George
Kings, few miles east of Brunswick.
October 26, 1848, Mr.. Elliott
was married to Miss Mary A. Butler,
daughter of Nathaniel Butler, who
lived and died on farm in the Forks
of Charlton, near Asbury chapel. Of
this union II children were born, five
sons and six daughters. The mother
died Nov. 26, 1892, but the children
are all alive, and attended
their fathers funeral except Albert G.
of Joplin and Rothwell R. of Colorado.
For over 20 years Mr.. Elliott held
official positions in Charlton county,
having been elected to the Offices OF
county surveyor, county clerk and
public administrator. After beng
elected circuit clerk in 1851 he moved
to Keytesville and continued to live
in and near the town up to the time
of his death.
In early manhood he was converted
and united with the Baptist church of
which he continued a devoted men,
Der and in which for many years he
held the responsible position of church
clerk. Mr.. Elliott possessed traits
characteristic of a gentleman, a
Christian and good citizen. AS a
husband he was a model OF kindness
and affection. As a father he was
loving and palns-taking. As a neigh
Dor he was obhging and hospitable.
For several years his health had de-
clined. 1t was manifest to all his
friends that the end was rapidly ap-
preaching. The elasticity of the step
of earlier life was giving place to the
slow and tender pace incident to age.
On account of feebleness of body he
had kept his room for several months,
most of the time confined to his bed. |
The day before his death he was at
tackled by pneumonia which soon did
its deadly work.
Tuesday, the 9th inst, the remains
were taken to the Baptist church
where, in the presence of large and
solemn audience, Rev. ]. D. Smith,
a venerable minister of Salisbury, de-
livered thoughtful and instructive
discourse, the text being taken from
Hebrews ga. There remaineth, |
therefore, rest to the people of
God"
The aged, Cody man in the pulpit, |
to the living concerning
the virtues of the departed brother
who had borne the heat and burden
of the day through more than four
score summers, whose weary body, |
after so many years of toll, needed |
that rest which the religion of the
Lord Jesus Christ only could supply, |
and urging its acceptance by his
hearers, was spectacle admired by
both saint and sinner, and for aught
we know approved of angels.
After the discourse at the church
and the dismissal of the congregation,
the Masonic order, of which deceased
had for many years been a member,
took charge of the remains and gave
them burial in the Keytesviile ceme-
terry by the side of her who had been
such a valuable helpmeet through
most of his life's journey and who,
no doubt, welcomed his disembodied
spirit to the other shore where part
ing, pain and death are felt and feared
no more.
