A Chance for some Decatur County
Boy to Become a Lawyer.

Through the efforts of Hon. j. g.
Hainer, a son of the late Ignace Hainer
of Davis City, who is a member of the
faculty of the Missouri College of Law
located at St. Louis, that college
has voted a free scholarship for
one year to some Decatur county
young man who is ambitious to become
a lawyer, and they have written to V. r.
McGinnis of this city to make the Sc.
lection. The college carries all classes
through the entire course in one year;
this is equivalent to a full scholarship for
anindus rious young man. The candidate
has the privilege of attending either the
day or night school, or both. 1t will be
necessary for the candidate to be in st.
Louis by August 9th, on which date the
next years work will commence. MI.
McGinnis has a catalogue of the school,
and will be pleased to recommend some
worthy young man for the free scholar.
Any young man who desires
TO take a free law course can receive
full information by calling on him.

An English Newspaper.

DR.. w. F. Waieht has kindly handed
us a copy of the weekly Times, published
at Manchester, England, dated July 4,
1892. Although it is one of the leading
papers of England there is a vast differ
ence between 1t and the progressive
papers of this country. The paper
consists of ten pages, seven columns to
the page, the columns being a little
wider than our columns. In style the
paper is peculiar, especially the advert.
Using which resembles the papers of this
country seventy.ive years ago. The
voracious American trusts are evidently
getting a strong hold in old England as
as we'll as this country, judging from the
followingfound in the Manchester paper:
The influence of America on Europe is
most marked. We have got American
trusts, American drinks, American nan
ufactured goods, and American weather.
The latest American product TO be intro.
duced is the American story. The
following yarn from Russia has all the
tough aud 6brous qualities of the Yankee
article:

Why Not pave In Leon.

principal streets with brick paving,

towns, and last week Charlton Joined

ed resolution to pave the public square
and the main street leading to the depot.
Leon should not be far. behind in this
matter, and we believe a start in this
direction should be made this wear,
even if there was only a single block put
IN. When once paving is started, there
is no stop to the good work. AT Chari-
ton the paving will cost about $l.G7 per
square yard and the curbing so cents
per lineal foot. Why rot start in and
pave say the block commencing at the
southwest corner of the square and
extending a block south. This street
between the sidewalks is As feet wide.
and each property owner would pay for
the paving to the center of the street.
1t would cost for the paving and curling
in trout of THE REPORTER building in the
neighborhood of 500, and we are ready
to sign a petition at any time. We
believe the town council has authority
to order any street paved when a petit
ton is signed by a majority of the own
ers of the abutting property. There is
nothing that adds so much to the
appearance of any town as good paved
streets, and the property is greatly
enhanced in value where the streets are
paved. If this block was paved this
year there would be several more blocks
paved next year and in a few years all
the streets in the business part of the
town would be paved. Why not start
the ball rolling and commence the
work?

Wreck on III K. & W.

The south bound train on the X. &
w. was wrecked a short distance this
side of Blockley about IL O'Clock last
Thursday night. 1t was the regular
evening freight that was due to leaye
Leon about 5 O'Clock, but had been held
at Van Vert for the excursionists who
went to Clearffeld in the morning to at
tend the Woodmen picnic. The train
reached Leon about 1890 in the midst of
the terrific rain storm and the train
crew were very leary of making the trip
and asked the dispatcher to allow them
to remain in Leon until morning, but he
ordered them to go on to GAINESVILLE.
Just this side of Blockley Little river
was out of banks and the tracks were
badly washed out. Engineer Bob Logan
was proceeding very cautiously, the
train barely moving, when without
warning the track commenced to give
way, the engine leaving the track aud
turning over on its side, pulling one
box car over with it and several cars left
the track but did not turn over. The
engineer and fireman jumped just in
time and were not injured. The wreck.
ing train came down Friday and got the
track clear in time for the passenger
train to go south Saturday, getting the
engine out of the ditch and taking it to
the shops at Centerville Sunday. In
addition to the wreck there was about
500 feet Of track washed out at B%lockley.
Rounds out the hollow places; smooths
out lines that creep about oae's face;
woos roses back to faded cheeks. That's
what Rocky Mountain Tea does. So CTS.
