A Pleasant Occasion.

On last Saturday, May 7, the good
people of this community had
planned a picnic at the "cut down
ground, on the'banks of Black
river. a numtsK had. gathered
when there came a ftiGe, s'gefheshiug
shower, to the delight Of aafpresent,
as the RAIN was greatly needed to
bring up the cotton and other crops.
Many on the way to the picnic
ground had sought shelter along the
way. After the shower, the place be-
ing very damp and the clouds very
threatening, we repaired to the hos
pitable home of that estimable old
gentleman, Mr. Alex Scott. near by,
who placed parlor aud porch at the
disposal of the crowd, all of whom
appreciated and enjoyed the various
diversions until dinner was an
nounced. There was spread the
most delicious edibles that could
have been prepared by the fair ladies
of this or any other community and
every one enjoyed the same to the
superlative deg ee. and left wit.l new
vigor and courage to take hold and
proceed with their efforts in their
avocations Of life with the hope of
meeting ere long on another such
occasion. "UNCLE F."

says W II Howard, of Husband Pa,
SAT times she was unable to move
at all, while ut all times walking
was painful. I presented her with
a bottle of Chamberlain Pain
Balm and after few applications
she decided 1t was the most wonder

use of the razor on Dawes arm he
gave Ely a load of No 6 shot, which
took effect from Ely's neck to his
feet, his stomach being the cen ter of
interest. They are each doing fairly

A PARAMOUNT ISSUE.


Former senator Web. NJ. Rubry
Of Macon, who wa, appointed n
member of the committee from the
First district by the supporters of
Mr. Folk during II recent meeting
in st. Louis, has ISSUED an address
to tine voters of his district IN
which he says:
The paramount. aud, | may say,
the whole, question to bc answered
is Can the Democratic party at.
ford not to nominate Mr.. Folk for
Governor
In spite Of the declarations OF
Reed aud Halves, that hoodling is
not to be- IN issue in the coming
canvass, every man who knows amy.
thing of the conditions existing
knows that boodIng is to be an
issue that cant be avoided.
Not only So, but if it were ever
possible for the party to have
lodged the question the war made
upon Mr. Folk by his opponents,
and the uncaIled for and untruth.
| ful representation they and their
supporters have made dcrogatory
of Nh Folk and his honest official
course, has rendered it impossible
for the party TO vindicate its honor
should II attempt to ignore the
fact that corruption III office exists
1t does exist in the party, but to its
credit, to less extent than in the
Republican party.
II may be that it would be EN-
barrassing to the party had Mr..
Folk declined to he n candidate,
but he has been called out by u
class of Democrats whose honesty
of purpose cannot be questioned
Therefore, think of it as You may,
act upon it as you may, mark this
statement, that if the Democratic
party fails to make Nj. Folk its
candidate for Governor in 1904 the
logical conclusion of the people in
Missouri and in the United States
will be that the party's professed
desire for vigorous prosecutions of
criminals and the cleansing of all
State institutions is hypocritical
That conclusion being reached, we
stand no chance to hold the rank
and file of the party to the enthus.
iastic support of our State ticket.
We lose hope of securing the indie
pendent element of citizens who al
ways ignore party when they feel
