Hon. w. II. Wallace's Lecture.

Probably the most entertaining
lecture ever delivered in Key
tesville was that of Hon. w. H.
Wallace before fair sized
audience in the circuit court
room at the courthouse last
Friday evening under the au-
spices of the Keytesville Pres
byterian church.
His theme was, 'Jesus of
Nazareth as a Man.
The speaker portrayed Jesus
as teacher, as a citizen, as a
philanthropist and as the great.

Bert Warsham, the popular
and efficient mail l-carrier on ru-
raj route No. 3 out of Keytes-
vile, has heart full of graft
tude for the many parties along
his route who are 80 generous in
their donations of edibles. Bert
is truly living on the fat of the
land, and has excited the envy
of the local ministers and the
editor of the COURIER. Bert's
larder was filled to overflowing,
and he took pity on ''ye editor"
and presented US with some nice
sausage and a toothsome rabbit
last Saturday. That's why we
look and feel better than usual
this week.
Among the contributions that
have been made to the Ladies'
Aid society of the Keytesville
Christian church for their bazar,
which will take place in s. M.
Whites vacant storeroom Sat-
urday, Dec. 10, are two fine
cooking stoves. One of them
is large cast range with res
ervoir attached from Bridge
Beach & Co. of st. Louis, and
the other is an Acme Mascot
steel stove, with duplex CRATE
for wood or coal from the Cutter
& Proctor stove Co. of Peoria,
Ills. The ladies are justly proud
of these two stoves, and are
very grateful to the generous
donors, and will have the stoves
on exhibition at their bazar, and
will sell them at public auction
to highest and best bidder next

Took a Change of Venue.

Carrie Nation," was called up
for trial inssssJustice VIM. P.
Jared's court Tuesday afternoon,
the defendant asked for and was
grarted change of venue to
Justice H. A. Wheeler's court,
and Justice Wheeler has set the
cause for a hearing next Tues
day, Dec. %.
It will be remembered by the
readers of the COURIER that Mrs.
Veatch was arrested at the insti-
CATION of Edgar Wilks on the
charges of disturbing the peace
and exhibiting dangerous and
deadly weapon, she having re-
paired to young Wilks' restau-
rant Wednesday night of last
week and, with a drawn pistol,
compelled him to roll a keg of
hard cider out on the sidewalk,
where she proceeded to demolish
the head of the keg with an ak
and poured out the contents, her
ire having been aroused by the
fact that her son, Chas. E., had
imbibed too freely of the cider
only a short time before.
Justice Jared's courtroom was
crowded Tuesday with curious
spectators. Mrs. Veatch ap-
peared as her own attorney up
till the. institution of proceedings
for change of venue when she
called to her assistance Attorney
J. c. Crawley.
She boldly declared that she
was not ashamed of what she
had done at Wilks' place Of bus
mess, and said she would repeat
it if necessary. The latter re-
mark was resented by Mrs.
Parker, who warned Mrs. Veatch
that she had better net try it
again. A regular TRADE of vitu-
peration followed between Mrs.
Parker and Mrs. Veatch, much
to the amusement of those pres
ent and the great embarrass-
ment and discomfort of the court.
We failed to learn which of the
ladies had the last word, but it
was heated controversy, al
though it didn't, in the end,
amount to much more than the
explosion of a bubble on a glass
of hard cider.
Thos. Baker of Higbee, who
has been making his home at
John Huffnan's, just north of
town for a month or more got
into trouble by stealing some
of L. D. Hyde's turkeys and
was arrested. He was charged
with the theft of eight tur-
keys, but only admitted hav-
ing stolen two, and was ar
ranged in Justice H. A. Wheel
er's court Saturday. 1t is known,
however, that Baker had sold as
many as five or six turkeys to
John Whitesides, a Keytesville
groceryman. Judge Wheeler,
on plea of guilty fined Baker
$40 and costs, which he was un-
able to pay and was sent to Jail.
We learned through Ed Swear
niger, who made us a pleasant
call Wednesday, that the $1,000
residence on the farm of Nicholas
IIrOuCner, Inree miles northwest
of Indian Grove, took fire FRI
day evening about Z o'clock,
and, with most of it's contents
and adjoining buildings was en-
tirely consumed. The house
was occupied by Chris Stewart
and family who are heavy losers
in household goods and wearing
apparel. They had no insurance.
A dresser, sewing machine and
a few articles of clothing were
all they saved. The house was
insured in the Charlton County
Mutual for $500.

There are some Charlton
county newspapers that either
believe in suppressing the news
or else they are afraid of their
own shadow. We suggest that
they be called merely a paper
instead of a newspaper as they
are only an apology of what a
newspaper ought to be. The
COURIER doesn't play any fa-
vorites and publishes the news
just as its editor finds it, without
regard to high or low, rich or
poor. That's why the COURIER
is the Great Favorite Weekly.

HAPPY EVERY DAY.

Sidney Smith, il is SAID, cut out the
following from newspaper and pre-
served it for himself: "When you rise
i'm the morning form a resolution 10
make the day happy one to your fell
low-creatures. Ii is easily done; left
of garment 70 the man who needs il, a
kind word 10 the sorrowful, an enc0ur-
aging expression 20 the stTiYing-trifles

il at least for the twenty-four hours.
And if you are young depend upon it,,
it will tell when you are old, and ifyou
are old rest assured it viii send you
quietly and happily down the stream
Of time 10 eternity.
BY the most simple arithmetical sum
look at the result. If you send one
person, only one, happily through each
day, that is S65 days in the course of
the year, and suppose you 1--we forty
years only after you commence this
course Of medicine you have made over
1900 beings happy-at all events for a
time
And nothing has been said Of the
person administering the medicine Of
happiness. Can that one be miserable
himself or herself while making Others
happy? The great English comedian
who spent bis life making Others laugh,
we are told rarely smiled himself, but
this cannot be true Of the many who
add to the brightness and good cheer OF
Others. The long face doesn't make
other faces light up with smiles, the
croaker creates no cheerfulness, the de
spondcnt drives away no clouds from
the life-sky Of companions met with
on the way.
This doesn't mean either that we
must be even well in body, or gifted
or rich before we can contribute to the
worlds share Of happiness. Sick per-
sons are sometimes imprisoned sun
beams, and many who are poor are |
constantly making Others rich in the /
highest aud noblest sense Of the word /
Nor should we wait for great oppor-
tunities for doing great things. They 1
come to bat few lives while the little
ones, the everyday ones press. us on
every side.
Some are lower than you, lift them;
some poorer, enrich them; some weak
