We desire hereby to express our grateful appreciation, and to extend our thanks to the many friends who rendered Us assistance and teudered their consolation dur ing the sickness and death of our little son Vinson.
 Mir and Mrs Turner Wells
 EF ervb5dy. who has occasion to pass down about Long Prairie, has words of praise for tue fine farm of Nr. Sharf who. q few years ago moved there from Michigan. He has fae two-storv residence, fla barns and well cultivated farm enclosed with good fence. This land, which u few years back was considered almost worthless, now. under the skilIfu, maoPuiaton- of this farmer, who knows how to farm and does it, produces from 4o to 50 bushels of corn to the acre and other crops in proportion. Here is 1n object lesson. What one man can do others can do, if they will only try.
 We learn that the railroad peo- pie have decided to give us change of schedule and two daily passenger trains at an early day. We will be thankful Tor that and all the other good things the rail- roads see ftto give Us. This pro posed change of schedule does not to coincide with the wishes of Bro. Thomas, of the Warren News, but then the Bro. must bear with 1t and he should be comfort ed, since 1t would bring the great est good to the greatest number While Warren may get along with one train a day and dc well with it, Monticello has long since out grown that stage in its history.
 One of the saddest deaths that has ever occurred in oIF town was that of the bright little six year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Turner Wells, on the 4th inst. Yinson was one of the very best and brightest of children and was favorite of all who knew him. He was the victim of meningitis and only lived for short time after taking sick. The remains were inferred in Oakland Cemetery. this city, after solemn and feel ing services. at the grave, by Rev. E. r. Kennedy, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church The be- reaved parents have the heartfelt sympathy of our entire eommuni-

A BUM MER
Severely Punished For LiV-
ing up to His Name.

Macon, Mo-, May IS, 1901
The crowd of passengers alighting
from the Wabash train at > o.
clock this morning were treated to
a circus worth double the price of
their ride. a large negro man and
fat mulatto girl he was gently as
sisting to alight from the car steps
had hardly reached the platform
when a tar faced woman, not quite
five feet high, armed with a stout
club, mixed" with them with
disastrous results. The man fled,
but his companion was not so
lucky. The little woman wound
her arm amid the kinky lock of
the enemy and pounded her merci-
lessly over the back with her bat
tie AK.
IN larn you to run off wild my
man, you good. fer-nothin', no.
count paramount" the little wo-
man exclaimed. Bin down to
camp-meetin', has yer!Got 'ligion,
bofe of yer, | guess" !"
The big woman yelled and kick
ed, but the tiny avenger didn' t
mind. She had waited for the hour
of retribution since twilight of the
day before, and was collecting for
lost sleep at usurious rates, The
night watchman received blow
intended for the ''paramount"that
will interest him for n month.
The whole outfit was in police
court this morning. The man was
Jack hummer, and he was SEN
fenced to % days on the Chain
gang in the streets for living up to
his name. The little woman was
his lawful wife. Hattie Gay was
the disturber of Mrs. Bummer's 5
domestic peace.

book, and my pencils, and went
forth to the woods as gaily as if
nothing had happened. / felt
pleased that | might now make
better drawings than before, and
ere period not exceeding three
years had elapsed my portfolio
was again filed"
The great explorer, David Liv-
ingstOne, was a man of great per-
sistency. He was brought to the
verge Of the grave twenty seven
times by attacks of the fever while
travelling in Africa, and was time
after time assaulted by sayages. At
last his men refused to accompany
him farther. But he never once
said Il have failed"or" give up"
Referring to the time when the
men threatened to desert him, Mr..
Livingston says: After using all
my powers of persuasion, de-
cIared that if they returned 1
should go on alone, and retiring to
ny little tent, | lifted up my heart
to Him who hears the signing Of
the soul. Presently the head man
came in. Do not be disheartened,
said he. We will never leave you.
Wherever you lead, we will follow"

For Secretary of State.

st. Louis, May lS:-A score of
personal and political friends have
waited upon Walter Williams, as
sOciate editor of the Columbia,
Mo-, Herald, member of the board
of regents of the state university
within the last few days, for the
purpose of urging him to make the
race for secretary ,Of state on
the Democratic ticket. Mr.. Will
liams now has the matter under
consideration. Mr.. Williams said:
am not IL candidate for the
office which my friends urge me to
seek. As a matter of fact, | have
MT time to devote to the campaign.
However, if | were rendered the
nomination | certainly should not
decline it" In addition to other
positions, Mr.. Williams is connect
ed with the Louisiana Purchase
exposition and recently made
tour of the world in behalf of the
fair. Friends point out that Mr..
Williams is in every sense an
available candidate for secretary
of state. He is a lifelong resident
OfMissOuri, a warm supporter of Cir
cult Attorney Joseph w. Folk has
a wide acquaintance both in and
out Of Missouri and is we'll versed
in public affairs. Cooks friends
say Cook already has enough
votes to insure his success in the
race for the nomination for secre-
tary of state.
