and Lafayette County Baptist Associa
a ton convened at the knobnoster Bap
e list church, Tuesday. About thirty
five churches with $500 members anC
: property valued at $4,000 are located
IN the two counties and make report:
to this body. The new officers for the
coming year are: Moderator, J.. S.
Denton, Knobnoster; clerk, F. Y,
Campbell, Warrensourg; treasurer, II.
W. Winsor. The association man.
ta'ns a missionary, Elder Barton,
who does work IN the destitute
sections and among weak churches
OF the ASSOCIATION Notwithstanding
the drouth, the churches generally
report a healthy condition and are
striving earnestly TO advance the
various causes. The people of Knob.
noster did themselves nobly in enter
tanning the delegates. The meeting
adjourned today.
Since the problem of the deporta.
ton and exclusion of the anarchists
is inviting solution, says the Jefferson
City Press, the views of Mr.. Jefferson
concerning this reptilian tribe are of
contemporary interest. That an act
deporting and excluding these SEMI
savages would not antagonize the
principles of the great democratic
leader is made clear in his published
correspondence. Writing to William
ID. Crawford, n of the great demo-
cratic leaders of the day, he said
every society has a right to fix the
fundamental principles of its associa-
ton, and to say to all individuals that,
II they contemplate pursuits beyond
the limits of these principles and
involving dangers which the society
chooses to avoid, they must go some
where else for their exercise; that
we a no citizens, and still less
ephemeral and pseudo-citlzens, on
such terms. We may exclude them
from our territory, as we do persons
infected With disease"
Mexico Ledger: Judge L. M
Hughes in his order to the sheriff of
Audrain county to not have the Jury
meet in Mexico during the first week
OF the September term of court Is TAX
ing advantage of a bill introduced in
the last legislature by Hon. Rhodes
Clay, representative from Audrair
county. The bill which was intro.
duced by Mr.. Clay and passed pro-
rides that all non-jury cases shall be
docketed first. In this way from one
to three weeks Jury service is saved
term of court. Taking the ap.
preaching term of court as an example /:
it will be seen that under the old law 1
the jury would have been called the &
day of the term, IN which, under t
Inc old law non-jury cases would have '
been sandwlched all through the term.
Under the new law the rule of docketine
cases in the order 10 which thew are
hled is done away with and all non e
Jury cases are docketed tor first DAYS, '
thus precluding the necessity of having '
Iuries summoned until after these cases 8
Ire disposed of. In the approaching a
of court 1888 is saved to the e
county by taking advantage of this II
Dill, as each OF the twenty.four jurors v
would be paid g Tor each OF the SIX d
