st. Louis, July 9-The dramatic feature of the
convention occurred at daybreak. The roll call
of states was being called
Wisconsin, called the clerk, and as that
state had exchanged places with Nebraska,
this was Mr. Bryan's chance. He asked unani-
nous consent for suspension of the time limit
on seconding speeches. 1t was granted him and
he opened his address in a voice so weak and
oarse as to be scarcely recognizable. As he
proceeded the great hall became stilled. 1t
was silent as church and the thousands who
filed it hung on his every word. No such tri-
butte had been paid any man of those who have
spoken since the convention was called to order
last Wednesday morning.
After stating that twice he had borne the
standard for the party, Mr.. Bryan said
81 come tonight to this Democratic conven-
tion to return the commission and to say to
say that you may dispute whether 1 have
fought good fight yon may dispute whether ]

that have kept the faith.

finally created a surprise in the convention by

Teachers Licenses Opinion.

Attorney General Murphy has given the following opinion re- garding teachers liscenses is- sued in counties where there are two county examiners:
 'In answer to your recent communication asking my opin- ion as to whether a teachers li- cense, issued by county exam iner of given district of a county divided into two judicial districts, and in which two ex- aminers, one from each district, have been appoin ted, is valid anywhere in the county, outside the district in which it is issued, 1 am constrained to take the view that it is. The statute makes it the duty of the county court to appoint one county ex- aminer in each county and authorizes it, in a county divided into two judicial districts, to ap- point one county examiner for each district, and then prohibits the directors of any school dis trict to employ teachers who do not hold a certificate or liscense granted by the county examiner or state superintendent"

 The institution of the anniver- sary dates back to the second century of Christendom, and it has been since uniformly cele- brated by nearly all branches of the Christian church with ap- propriate rejoicings and cere- monies. The frequent and somewhat heated controversies, however, relative to the date of Christ's birth early in the fourth century led Pope Julius l to or der a thorough investigation of the subject by the learn ed theo- logians and historians of that period, which resulted in an agreement upon Dec. 20, and that decision seemed to have set tied all disputes, so that date was universally accepted except by the Greek church. While this date was never changed, the reckoning of it is made according to the Gregorian calendar, which was adopted in the latter part of the sixteenth century, and upon which all computations of time in nearly all civilized countries have since rested.

The largest and most import ant business in Denver is that carried on by the Denver Roller Mill Company. Besides a first class flour mill the company operates saw mill and cotton gin. The heavy demand made on them for saving and ginning make it impossible for them to keep up with their business. On account of not having the proper gearing, each mill must be worked separately. Next season the proper speed pulleys will be put in so that the cotton gin and flour machinery can be operated at the same time. This will enable them to do a much larger business.
 Denver has a good school. R. E. MattoX, an instructor of ten or twelve years experience, is in charge of it this season.

DENVER A THRIVING TOWN
Tribune Man Finds Many Things
 Over There to Write About.


 valley of Long Creek lies the busy little inland town of Denver in the northeastern part of Car rol county, ten miles from the line of the St. Louis & North Arr kansas Railroad and twelve miles from the new line of the Missouri Pacific system. To the east a gradual ascent of a quarter of a mile brings you to the summit of the hills overlooking the town.
 From this point a panoramic view of the Long creek and Dry creek valleys may be had. These valleys are dotted with broad and fertile fields, substan- tial farm houses and we'll filled barns, suggestive of peace and plenty.
 Again looking to the east we see the large upland farms which gradually descend to the upper valley of Long creek. These farms are not quite so pro- duetive of corn and hay, but are much better for fruit raising, consequently they contribute their portion to the wealth of the country.
 Stock raising in this section of the country is particularly good, the timbered hills furnish in g an abundant summer range, while the rich botto m farms pro- duce a great supply of winter feed. It is said by one of the leading produce men of our country that outside of Green Forest, Denver is the best point in Carroll county for eggs and produce of all kinds.
 After viewing the landscape which is truly beautiful, we come closer to the town and note the firms that make up the business men of Denver.
 We visited the general mer- chandise store of Myers Bros., who handle 8 complete line of the class of goods generally found in store of this kind. They are doing a good business and enjoying their share of the prosperity that is abroad in the land.
 It now being nearly 12 O clock noon, we visited the Denver Ho- tel which is owned and managed by Joe A. Young, or "Uncle Joe," as he is more commonly known. Uncle Joe sets fine table and has the distinction of being the only hotel man in the town. Besides owning valuable lands near town, he owns a busi- ness block and is now erecting a store room which will as soon as completed be used for an ex- elusive line of hardware.
 By the way it, might be stated in this connection that MT. Young is at this time quite sick and is not able to look after his numerous business interests.
 H. Phillips, one of the pioneer merchants of Denver, has large and we'll filled store, carry ing most anything you want from agricultural implements to the best line of dry goods and cloth ing. In addition to his main store room Mir. Phillips has sev- eral smaller rooms which are packed with marketable goods.
 La Rue Ayers has a neatly kept stock of goods which he recently purchased of M. M. Butler, a former merchant of the place. Mir. Ayers is a new man in business but energetic and attentive to his work. We pre- dict success for him.
 s. P. Beck & Go. have prob- ably the largest business in town. They handle general line and produce of all kinds.
 We visited the drug store of Dr. Chas. Scott, the pioneer druggist and practitioner, who for years has administered to the wants of the people of the Denver country.
