All day long last Friday the millin-
cry parlors of Mrs. Lulu Gillian Wood
side we're thronged with lady visitors
attending her fall and winter opening.
The display was a most exquisite and
elegant one, and many were the COM
pliments bestowed on Mrs. Woodside
aud her most competent assistant,
Miss Delaney, from St. Louis. Every
thing new and ~up-to-dste in millinery
was most artistically presented, and
the eyes of the fair visitors fairly
danced as they Toasted on the beauties
before them. The occasion was H.
deed q splendid success.
We hear of one of the nominees on
the Republican ticket in this county
saying that all he asks In the coming
election is a ''fair count" We defy
any n to point out where we have
ever had anything but a 'fair count"
in elections in this county since the
Democrats have been in control. And
yet this very nan who wants a stair
count" now, is the same Republican
who, while he was a registration
officer years ago, kept Democrats from
voting when he had the power, under
the administration of the famous fair
"Count" Rodman Of tender memory.
His name is W. W. Haywood, Repub-
lican nominee for Presiding Judge
of the County Court.
This is the Chicago Herald's sum-
ming up of the prosperity that is now
flooding the country and filling the
working mans dinner-pail:
They raised his salary two years ago last
The said increase amounting to thirty cents
a day.
Since then they've raised the prices
Of carrots and of beets,
Offour and of meats,
Of corn and coal and fruits,
Of babies little boots,
OF potatoes, milk and cheese,
Of the product of the bees,
Of hats and socks and coats,
Of all that sinks or floats,
He's paying out the money that he saved
before his raise,
But prosperity's upon us, and his heart is
full Of praise.
Geo. X. Busch, Of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association, st. Louis,
was in the Valley last week, returning
home Sunday afternoon. While in
these parts he visited the syenite
quarries and other resorts round about.
In honor Of his visit, the Budweisers-
of which local organization he is an
honorary member-convened in special
session, and discussed music, beer and
pretzels to a finish. Mr.. B. is an &C.
complished fiddler on the double-bass,
his stringeudo solos rafting the win
dow sashes in their intensity, and
causing Gue's hooking bird to ruffle
his feathers in dismay. Added to his
musical ability, Mr.. Busch's converse
tional powers make him a genial and
interesting companion at all times,
whether for a night out or a day in.
We quaff his health in a glass of bis
own brew!
Lieutenant-G Governor John A. Lee
knocked John s. Benson down, in the
l%atter's store at Annapolis, Tuesday
evening Of last week. Mr.. Lee had
driven into Annapolis from Reynolds
county, where he had been making
some speeches. After supper he
walked into Benson's store to buy a
cigar. Benson asked Mr.. Lee to talk
politics, Mr.. Lee tried to excuse him
self, saying he did not make a prac-
tice of discussing political questions
IN the street in private conversation.
Mr.. Benson insisted that the Lieu
tenant-Governor give them some light
On the 'school fund" question, and as
it was some little time before his train
was due, Mr.. Lee started to give the
information asked for. He had not
fairly started before Benson called him
a liar. Mr.. Lee warned him not to do
80 again. He said but a few words
more when Benson again called him
a liar and the Lieutenant-G Governor
promptly knocked him down. Benson
has a black eye yet, but he has the
distinction probably OF being the only
man in Iron county who was ever
knocked down by a Lieutenant Cover
nor of the grand old State OF Missouri.
