THE CORN IS SAFE.
Potatoes Light, Sorghum Crop Good,
Apples ROtting.

U. S. department of agriculture,
climate and crop bulletin of the
Weather Bureau, Missouri section,
for the week ending September 20,
1903.
Light to moderately heavy
showers occurred in nearly all
sections of the State on the 26th,
but during the remainder of the
week just closed the weather was
very favorable for maturing the
corn crop, and also for wheat
sowing and the harvesting of late
forage crops. The temperature
averaged slightly below the normal,
but there was very little cloudiness,
and late corn has ripened rapidly.
Light frost occurred in localities
in the northwest section on the
twenty-fourth, but did no damage.
The cutting of corn has been
general in all sections and in many
localities is nearly completed.
Considerable early corn is dry
enough for cribbing. Cotton, in
the extreme southeastern counties,
is opening rapidly and picking is
in progress. Except in few of
the extreme southern counties,
where the ground is very dry,
wheat sowing is progressing
favorably with the soil in fair to
excellent condition, and in a num-
ber of the northern counties is
nearing completion. Early sown
wheat and timothy are up and
looking we'll. Potato digging is
in progress, and while good yields
are reported in some counties, in
many the crop is very light. The
crop of sweet potatoes is generally
good. Sorghum is being worked
up and good yield and quality of
syrup is reported in most sections.
Glover is being bulled with
satisfactory returns, as a rule.
There is considerable complaint
that apples are rotting and dropping
and in most sections good winter
apples will be scarce. Pastures
are reported dry and short in some
of the southern counties, but else
where they are in good condition.

Mr.. John McKim Dead.

Fulton, Mo-, Sept. 9th, 1903
The rider of the pale horse, death
has once more invaded our ranks,
and taken therefrOm an old
veteran of the cross, in the person
of Bro. John McKim, who was
born in Bourbon county, Kentucky,
Sept. 20, 1885, living to the ripe
old age of 6S years.
He died on the anniversary of
his birth, Sept. %, 1903. He
was married to Miss Mahalia Scott,
in 1855, who was to him faithful
and loving companion until her
death about 3 years ago. OF this
union two sons survive him, John
and William, he also leaves a
sister and brother and host of
relatives and friends to mourn
their loss. He united with the
Second Baptist church of Fulton,
in 1880. The funeral services
were conducted from the above
named church, by the pastor, Rev.
DR.. CASTOR. A large concourse of
friends followed the remains to
their last resting place.
He is not dead, for
"In that great clusters stiffness
and seclusion,
BY guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation; safe from
sins pollution,
He lives whom we call dead"
o dearest bloom the season knows,
Flowers of resurrection blow,
Our hope and faith restore;
And through the bitterness of death
And loss and sorrow, breathe a
breath,
OF life fOrevermore.
The thought of love Immortal
blends,
With fond remembrances of
friends;
In you, 0 sacred flowers,
By human love made doubly sweet,
The heavenly and the earthly meet,
The heart of Christ and ours.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pro-
nOunced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspOonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars

DESERTED HER HUSBAND.
Primary Teacher in Columbia
School Suddenly Disappers.

Quite a surprise was sprung at
the Fred Douglass school in Col
umbia Thursday of last week when
it was learned that Mrs. F. M.
Brasheares, who had been primary
teacher in the school for fourteen
consecutive years, had deserted
her husband and her position and
left for parts unknown. There
seems to be quite a mystery sur
rounding the affair and about all
that. could be learned is as fol.
lows; On Wednesday morning
Principal Coleman received a note
from Mrs. Brasheares stating that
owing to illness she would not be
able TO perform her duties in
school that day and asked that the
substitute, Miss Estella Kirklin, be
called to take her place. This was
done and the day passed without
any unusual notice of Mrs. Bra
sheares' absence being taken.
After school hours Prof. and Mrs.
Coleman called at the Brasheares
home on End Street and were sur
prised to find no one at home, and
shortly after they had returned
home Scott Brasheares, husband of
the missing woman, called at the
home of Prof. Coleman in search
of his wife, whom he had not seen
since morning, only to find that he
had been deserted and on making
inquiry it was found that she had
boarded the IL o'clock train for
McBaine. Many stories are told
as reasons for Mrs. Brasheares'
sudden departure, bat nothing re-
liable could be learned about the
matter other than her departure
was the outcome of domestic
troubles.
Mrs. Robert Carter, Mrs. Bra
sheares' mother, was seen Satur.
day evening by a Professional
W orld reporter and when asked as
to her daughters sudden depart
ure, said: "My daughter has gone
from Columbia to stay. She has
been dissatisfied with her sur
roundings for some time and de-
cided to stand it no longer. She
came to tell me good bye Wednes-
day and ] knew she was going"
When asked if she knew where
her daughter was, she said: "She
left McBaine for st. Louis. She
will write me in few days."
