Enforcing Their Rule.

The whole people of Florence
seem to be very much moved by
the recent action in the Baptist
church in regard to dancing,
though we do not see that it is
anybodY's affair except the NOM
bers of that church. The qucs-
tion of the morality or immortality
of dancing is not the issue unless
1t be proposed to change the time
honored rule in the church, which
does not seem to be the case. As
the church has its rules to govern
the conduct of its members and
them only, nobody else is expect
ed to be affected and those in that
church who will persist in dane
ing have the alternative of chang
ing the rule or changing the
church. FLORENCE Times.

That Missouri will have a fine fruit
exhibit at the Worlds fair is now
assured. About $50 jars have been
collected, according to official report
Of the superintendent, L. A. Good
man. At the Kansas City station 200
jars have been prepared, filled with
peaches, pears, early apples, straw
berries, c~urrants, raspberries, dew
berries, gooseberries and blackber-
ries. Twenty varieties of s%trawber-
ries are included in the collection.
At Columbia 100 jars have been got
ten together, including 30 varieties of
strawberries; at Springfield so jars,
and at St. Louis 200 jars. All parts
of the state are represented in the
display. The fruit which has been
collected at Kansas City has come
mostly from the northwestern coun-
ties, and that at st. Louis was
shipped by Individual growers from
the counties in the eastern half Of the
state. The exhibits will be kept sep
erately classed according to counties,
and any prizes won will be announced
in the name of the grower or owner,
from whatever county the product
m Grapes are now the immediate
want of the exhibit collectors. Any
thing extraordinary in size in early
apples are also desired. A thoroughly
characteristic exhibit Of both these
fruits will be had.

MISSOURI A NEWS.

Thomas j. Crist is a citizen of boil
St. Louis city and st. Louis county
The dividing line between city an6

house and lot. In making the pur.
chase it was necessary to file deeds
at Clayton and also at the st. Louis
city hall. The lot is 81 feet s inches
by 140 feet, and the wner will have
to pay taxes on IL feet s inches by
140 feet to the county authorities and
on 20xt40 feet to the city. The dwell
ing is so situated that the o on
the west half of the building are un-
der county jurisdiction, while those
on the east side are urban and the oc-
cupants thereof may owe allegiance
to Mayor Wells. Friends of Mr.. Crist
have raised the question that should
he sleep on the west side of the house
would he be entitled to vote in a
municipal election, or if he makes his
bed on the east side of the residence
would he be permitted to vote in
county elections? The location of the
dining-room complexities the question,
for the law, in fixing the place of
ones residence, takes into considera-
ton both bed and board. These prob
lens do not worry Mr.. Crist, who is
advised that in the matter of voting
he has his choice, though, of course,
he can not vote in both places. An old
statute gives him the right to declare
his place of residence. He will pay
taxes on the same home in both city
and county.
