One Hale Cowley, an insurance
agent, bumped a lot of Farming
ton people, good, according to the
Times. He offered them life in.
surance at a very low rate, pay
able by their notes. Of course,
they bit. He got the notes and
sold them, but the policies did not
come, and he is being prosecuted,
criminally; but that does not get
the stolen money back. When
will people quit signing every pa
per stuck under their nose? When
will they quit trusting every fakir,
peddler, solicitor and agent that
comes alohg?-Poplar Bluff Citizen.

Daniels and P. w. Whitworth last
Friday took the Spaughs to the
St. Louis Jail, and Willie Lee, the
negro soldier, and Ed. Reed, biga-

place the officials were detained
for a few hours because they had
failed to supply themselves with
certificates, showing that the pris-
oners had been vaccinated and not
exposed to small pox. A little
telegraphing soon righted the mat
ter, however, and Lee and Reed
were turned over to the warden Of
the penitentiary.

constable passed a negro going
the other way. When he got

officer that the negro who had gone
toward Arcadia was the missing
Coleman. Hill at once started to
retrace his steps, and, as he did so,
he saw the darkey stop, pick up a
rock and start to run. The officer
increased his speed and the negro
fairly flew. The latter stopped
suddenly, threw his rock, and ex-
claimed GIVE got him!" And sure
enough he had! He had killed a
'possum, right on the main road
between here and Arcadia, in front
of the Emerson park. But the
man was notthe missing Coleman.
1t was Henry Beard, another COL
ored citizen, who makes his home
in Arcadia, whittier he was bound
when the 'possum crossed his track.
