.COUNTY'S RESOURCES
Should Be Exhibited At The Louisiana
Purchase Worlds Fair.

Never in the history of the
world has Northeast Missouri
had such a grand opportunity
to advertise to the world the
various resources of this part
of the best state ia the Union
as will be afforded next year at
st. Louis and it is not probable
that another opportunity will
be had soou. Will Monroe
County take adva ntage of it or
will she let the people of other
States continue TO pass us by
for places not so much favored?
The great resources OF our coun-
ty are not developed as they
should be as they would be if
people only knew what we had
to offer. Let us show them at
st. Louis next year. Then we
will have immigration of peo-
pie from other states to aid us
in our work Of developing our
latent resources. We are proud
OF Monroe County, Northeast
Missouri and IN fact all our
grand state. Let US show to
the world next year what Mis-
souri, is aud what she has to
offer. Citizens of Monroe Coun-
ty, we must do our part. The
county court could do little
encouraging by offering premi.
ums, but then we must not
wait for premiums. In urder to
make anything like the show.
ing we should We must take up
the work at once and must all
work together. Monroe is one
of Missouri'S leading counties

creditably represented. What
is done must be done quickly.

there should be a good attend.

there is no danger from sparks.

Origin of the Cannon.


1t Is a curious fact that the first can
non was cast at Venice. 1t was called
II "bombard," and was invented and
employed by General Pisani in a war
against the Genoese. The original
lombard, which bears the date Of
1880, is still preserved and stands at
the foot Of Pisani's statue at the ar-
senal. The lombard threw a stone 100
pounds in weight; but another Vene-
tian general, Francisco Barde, i'm
proved it until he was able to handle
a charge Of rock and powders weigh
Ing 5000 pounds. 1t proved disastrous
to him, however, for one day during
the siege of cara, while he was oper-
at1ng his terrible engine, he was hurled
by 1t over the walls and instantly
killed.
