and shipping.

The new road law provides
that the clerk of the road dis
trict shall before April list,
make a list of all those entitled
to pay poll tax in the district.
Arrange this in alphabetical
order and file it with the county
clerk; failure to do this loses
the district its poll tax. 1t al.
so provides that the county
treasurer shall not honor any
warrant not signed by the pres
ldent of the road district. 1t
follows that if the board fails
to be organized and have "a
president and clerk that the
money will remain in the treas
ury and the tax collected by
the collector cannot be used for
the benefit of the district. The
court cannot meet again in time
to appoint new road overseers,
and it is very important that
those who were appointed meet
as soon as possible to organize
and get up their poll tax list
and arrange to have the tax in
use for their district. BY doing
this they will do their road
district a great service, even if
some of them have to resign as
soon as this is done. The law
we have has to be complied
with; it caunot be changed till
the legislature meets and the
road, districts will need their
poll tax and road money this
summer and fall.-Shelby Coun.

COLORED SCHOOL NOTES,

To those VINO are interested |
in the education of the colored |
children of this city can find en-
couragement not only in the in
creased attendance and charac-
ter of work done by the teacher
and pupils; but also in the rec
ord which has been made by the
pupils, those that have books.
L enrolled Ga pupils aud near
ly two thirds of that number
have no books at all.
1t is quite difficult problem
to note the progress of those
pupils who have no books yet
they come regular. But the
gallant few that have books
are making good use of their
opportunity.
The school enumeration for
colored Children was 115, with
64 enrolled 30 dropped from

or to wander over the streets.
Prof. r. S. Nichols, Supt. of
City schools visits the colored
school often and what time he
has he lectures and gives good
advice, he is certainly the right
man in the right place.
The school Board is the best
one on earth, They have do ne
everything that can be done to
encourage all TO attend school
l for one believe in compul
sorry education. To educate d
child is to prepare it for life's
work. 1t is the duty of all col
ored people to send their chill
dren to school and prov idt
books for them and see to i
that they attend school ant
stop clamoring for recognition
for they cannot be recognized

takes religion, principle, char

Monroe City is soon to have

leaders as soon as the material

be given employment this year
and next year the force will
necessarily be increased. The
Jackson Hay Loader is the only
loader manufactured and will
soon be in use in all parts of the
United States. Monroe City is
indeed fortunate in securing
such a prize as the Jackson Hay

COL. KNOTT WITHDRAWS.

10 the hepuDllC ana Ill his own
paper, the Hannibal Journal,
yesterday announced his with
drawal from the race for Sec.
retary of State. This leaves
Senator w. Shields McClintic
as the only State Candidate in
the First Congressional Dis
trict. In his letter Col. Knott
gives some un just, un-ca led
for thrusts at Senator McClin-
tic. But if he thinks that he
can in this way delude the peo-
pie and injure Senator McClin
tic he is greatly mistaken. 1t
was not Senator McClintic who
hooked Col. Knott off the track,
but Sam B. Cook who will be
the next Secretary of State.
The people for some time have
been for the Mexico Cook but
Col. Knott has just found it out
and then he got out of the way
as a sensible man like he is
would have done. Col. Knott
is a good true Democrat, 4
faithful loyal worker in the
party and deserves some good
thug at the hands of the party,
and we regret very much that
he has made the thrusts which
he did. as in so doing he has
not done himself any good.
From appearances Col. Knott
must have had a persona
grudge against Senator Nc
Clintic. We infer this from the
fact that although McClintic
lives in Knott's county his name
did not appear in Knott's paper
during the last session of the
Legislature. McClintic was ap
pointed a member of the audit
ing committee, was elected
President Pro TEN of the Sen
ate and deserved praise for hi'
acts yet in the Hannibal Jour
nal praise for McClintic was no
to be found We feel sure thougl
that Col, Knott will now taxi
off his coat and go to work t.
make Senator McClintic thu
next Lieutenent Governor o
Missouri, as in loyalty working
for McClintic he can make
amends for his unjust thrusts
Fromall parts of Missouri tn
people are for McClintic fo
Lieutenant Governor. He is tn,
t friend of the masses and his
fitness for theposition is no
questioned.

RUCKER ENDORSED.
HAS PROVEN FAITHFUL TO EVERY
TRUST AND ALIVE TO INTERESTS
OF THE PEOPLE.
He is Sure TO Win Because His Enviabte
Record Has Won for Him the
Support Of Many Who
Opposed Him in
Last Race.

Randolph county is solid foE
Rucker for a second term. The
judge has proven himself faith
full to every trust imposed in
him and is so much alive to the
interests of his party and con-
stituents that the democracy of
old Randolph is fully satisfied
and highly gratified. Many
who opposed him in his former
race are now enthusiastically in
favor of his return. In ALI
probability, Rucker will have
no opposition in the district,
but opposition or no opposition,
he is sure to succeed himself.
Few men have made as good
records in SO short time as
Congressman RuCker. AL
though he has just entered up
on his first term in congress yet
he has introduced himself by
his energy and brain and desire
to serve the people, to the en-
tire country. His speech de-
livered on the financial ques-
tion was one of the best deliv-
cred in congress while that
question was under considera-
tion. 1t was favorably com
mented upon by many of the
best newspapers of the state.
He voted against seating Rob
erts, the Polygamist and estab-
lished national reputation for
decency, and as protector of
national morals. He now ad-
vocates the interest ofCthe peo-
pie by bringing in a minority
report in congress asking for
the right to be given to the
people to elect United States
senators by direct vote. If he
will continue TO go at this kind
of gait the people Of this dis
trict will not only elect him a
second time but will continue
to return him. When Rucker
advocates anything you can de-
pend upon it that ii is going
through unless defeated by the
opposing party vote.-Moberly
Democrat.
