 The firm are sub-contractors and took a contract from K. H. Killibrew & Co.,, to excavate the dirt on the road bed from Mingo to Poplar Bluff, being 6S96.S cubic yards, at 37 12 cents per yard, which amounts to $26, 6,565.17 and as they allege in their petition, they drew only $S620.72 and have so far been unable to collect the balance which is $17941.4
 The road is liable for labor done for them through the contractor, MT. Killibrew, and in turn the S. M. & A., must look to that gentleman and his bondsmen to make good the amount. A copy has been filed with the secre- tary of state as is prescribed by law in such cases. B. R. Lentz represents the plaintiffs s.-Poplar Bluff Sentinel.

Wesley Cummins was accidentally shot by Kirk Walker at Paroauet last Friday, the particulars of which af- fair are told by the Newark Journa as follows:
 Cummins came from Ozark county, Missouri, and had been at work for parties in Paroquet. At the time the accident occurred he and some friends were passing off the time in various ways, the day being unfit for outdoor work, and among the pranks indulged in, Walker and Cummins were show ing some friends how President Me- Kinley was shot. Walker was play ing the part of Czolgosz, while Gum mins was acting the part of the illus trious victim of the assassin's bullet.
 The revolver was loaded, unknown to the participants, it is supposed, and just as Cummins grasped the hand of the Would-be Czolgosz, the weapon was discharged. Fortunately Walkers aim was not as true as that of the much despised Czolgosz, and the bull let entered the shoulder, glanced and embedded itself in Cummins arm, in f1icting only slight flesh wound.
 Dr. Pascoe went down and dressed the wound and at last accounts Gum mins was getting along very nicely.

of years until his experience and nat
 uraI ability gained for him a position
 with the Lesser Cotton Company of St. Louis.
 This was his third year at Newport,
 where his friends were legion. His
 business dealings were characterized
 by high sense of honor, and his
 heart was big and noble. Generous
 to friend and family and the poor,
 his unselfishness could never be
 doubted when each day recorded some instance of his kindly disposi- 1 tion and magnanimOus, Well-meaning heart. Quiet and unostentatious, his character was all the more brilliant and beautiful in it's virtues upon close acquaintance. The world is better for such lives. They make prosper ous commonwealths, because they are good citizens, and happy homes, be- cause they are faithful husbands and tender fathers.
 Three sisters of the deceased are living, Mesdames Bettie Weeks, Flu nice Owens and Thos. Anderson, ssalso his mother, who resides at Arkadel- phia. A wife and two daughters, Berta. aged 12 years and Eunice, aged g, are left to mourn for him whom ties of love and devotion, bid them shed unrestrained tears, remember ing that He, who rules the desti nies of men, inscrutable as are His ways and hard to understand by poor mortal mind, was once the incarnation of love and mercy, and still is, though He sitteth in the Heavens, and that an All-wise Provi- dence doeth all things for the best.
