The following is from a late issue of
the Charleston Enterprise: sit, will
soon be high time for the people of
Charleston to take up the cow question
again. Shall we, or shall we not,
permit these boYines to run at large
upon our streetsP To dilate upon the
evils of their freedom is but a waste of
ink and paper, for every citizen is al
ready versed upon all phases of the
situation, and it remains to them
what shall be done for the future.
The proposition will be submitted in
the spring and it will then be up to the
people whether or not a few mich
COWS shall continue to befoul our
thoroughfares and mutilate our lawns
and gardens"

Williams of Columbia, Mo-, to deliver
his celebrated lecture on the ''Holy
Land" the people of this city would
have an opportunity of hearing two of

day. Mr.. Williams has the honor OF
teaching the largest Bible class in any
Sunday school in Missouri, something
like 200 being in attendance every
Sunday. - FredericbtoWD Democrat

The Hout Stock Company was ad-
vertised to be at the Academy of Music
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights of this week. The show failed
to put in an appearance. The follow
ing, from Mondays Poplar Bluff Cij-
zen, tells why: ''Friction among the
members of the Hout Stock Company
caused the c%ompany's Jour to come to
a sudden end yesterday. The coined
ian, Sam j. Roberts, owned the
scenery and some of the other effects,
and becoming dissatisfied withdrew
from the company. Chaos reigned
supreme for a time and each member
then began to look out for number one.
w. H. Hout and wife, William Dale
and wife and j. Richard St. Vrain left
on No. A yesterday afternoon for St.
Louis; Lawrence Tallman went south
on No. /, and the balance of the com
pany are still here, undecided what to
do. There is talk of giving a benefit
for them the latter part of the week.
