started their big mill here Tuesday
afternoon. They will employ about
twenty men to begin with and will use
the machine for the rough work first
and in a short time will be finishing up
beer staves.. 1t is expected that they
will make a long run Of the present.
Superintendent l.. c. Chambers came
In Friday and has charge OF the setting
of the machines and oversees all pre-
liminary work.-Ca6a Telephone.
A cyclone passed through the Rich
land neighborhood about a mile ard a
half north OF Annapolis last Sunday
afternoon. The wind blew a gale,
trees were torn from the ground,
fences blown away and considerable
damage done. A house owned by
Joseph Brewer was ruined aud a barn
on the farm Of Fritz Warncke COM
pletely demolished. For a minute or
more fence rails. trees and small
timbers were flying through the air.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
In Jefferson county a piece OF road
270 feet in length was made permanent
thus: The road bed was graded; then
large rocks were put in, IA inches
deep and - feet across nter of road,
the top rocks only being broken Zone
man did this), then sufficient gravel is
put on to ill in and have a good mar
gin on top, SO as to have a smooth top
with a solid bottom. The rocks were
hauled half a mile and the gravel
three-fourths of a mile up a long hill,
and the entire job cost $40. Pass this
along.-Piedmont Banner.
While the school entertainment was
In progress in the Academy of Music
last Monday night some boys in the
rear of the hall behaved very badly
and created quite a disturbance. The
Marshal reproved them and attempted
TO restore order, when one of the Of
tenders, VIM. Schleuter, gave some
shack talk" Next day he was taken
before the Mayor who assessed fine and
costs against him amounting to about
$6. Schleuter Is nothing but a boy,
but he has been in court several times
recently. We would advise him to
mend his ways or the future will hold
no good for him.
Miss Fannie M. Markham has
notified the school board that she will
not be an applicant for the position Of
teacher of the primary department of
the schools the ensuing year, her
health being such that she deems it
best to take a rest. For over thirty
years Miss Markham has been a faith
full and painstaking teacher in the
I~ronton schools, and the place made
vacant by her voluntary retirement
will be hard to fill. Thousands of her
former pupils, whom she so well and
faithfully served, hope that in all the
days to come Miss Markham may en-
joy that peace and happiness she 30
richly merits.
Horace Greedy once said: cit is
strange how close men read the pa
pers. We never say anything men
don't like, but what we soon hear of it.
If we say many good things of a nan
we v hear OF them; nobody seem
to notice it. We pay some man a hun
dred puffs and he takes it as a tribute
to his greatness-never thinks it does
him any good. But if we happen to
say anything he does not like or m
thing that he imagines reflects on his
character, see how quickly he flares
up and gets excited about it. Then
our evils are charged against us, and
we never, apparently, get any credit
for the good we do"
About one month ago, or immed-
lately after the adjournment of the
legislature, the F~redericktown Trust
company of this city, received an en-
velope by express, the contents Of
which was valued at $4,000. On being
opened by the bank authorities, the
envelope was found to contain two
$1,000 bills. and had been sent to the
Trust company from Stoddard county
for deposit. The money remained on
deposit here for about one week when
it was withdrawn, and of course, bills
Of a smaller denomination we're re-
turned for the two $1,000 bills. Can it
be possible that two more of those
mysterious $1,000 bills that foated
around in Jefferson City had been sent
to Fredericktown to be changed up in
to small billsp The grand jury at
Jefferson City might get another clew
from this fact. u-FreGericktown Demo-

There seems to be a m%isunderstand-
Ing in regard to the three days meet
ing Of teachers In the fall. II is to be
o real association OF teachers and
those interested in schools. At this
association all the teacners OF the
county will come together, become
acquainted, compare ideas and hear
topics discussed by the ablest mem
bers of their profession. One news
paper In commenting on this subject
regrets the passing of the summer in
s%titute, saying that a fall meeting to
be devoted to examinations will take
its PLACE. This is a mistake. The
three regular examinations are held as
heretofore OF the fourth Saturday and
the preceding Friday in March, June
and August. The fall meeting or
association will be held on the last
three days of some week in September,
October, November or December. Let
us hope that MUCH real profit and
pleasure will be realized in the change.
