good time assured.
Rev. T. A. Waterman had a
brief letter in the st. Louis Repub-
lie of last Thursday, on the inter-

the ground of greater simplicity.
A jury in Squire Fairchild's

disturbing the peace, and fined
them S1.00 and costs. The case
was appealed to the circuit court.
"Unole Isaac" is wrong in say
ing that no citizen of Iron county
has a place on the Bryan reception
committee. The names of four are
on the published hst-some of
them misspelled, but printed in
good faith Notwithstanding.
Labor Day was pretty generally
observed hereabouts. Even our
industrious postmaster bowed to
the proclaimed will of the author
tiles and set q good example to
law-abiding citizens, irksome as
cessation from labor is to him.
Indeed, the county court is too
solicitious for full and perfect
records. Time was when a Re-
publican tribunal settled with an
official on his books and made no
bother about the fact that a dozen
or SO leaves had been abstracted
therefrom.
A cotemporary announces the
finding OF "a small lady's hand
bag" and calls upon the owner to
prove property, pay charges, etc.
Just how the editor, seeing that he
doesn't know who the owner u.s.,
comes to designate her as ''small"
is c conundrum.
A hog-pen within the city limits
is not 80 pleasing to the senses of
sight and smell as is a bed of
roses. Especially of a September
evening, when the air is sultry and
dank and stiffness broods DER the
landscape, does the pestilentious
odor Of the sty get in its perfect
work.

Jno. R. Mckinney, Esq, Of
Belleview, last Thursday presented
the editor with some mighty fine
peaches-the sort of fruit it does
ones heart good to look upon,
There were three varities, free and
cling, and all seedlings. He says
he has So trees in bearing from
which he expects to market zoe
bushels. He told me to tell Mr.,
Blanton to come out and see just
how nice is a Democratic full CROP
of the finest fruit that grows.
Solitude, l suppose, is all right
on occasion; but when that oc-
casion keeps recurring every time
one goes from his days labor to
the place he calls home, and dwells
with him until he hikes out the
next morning, it grows tiresom
and depressing. The hermit may
find "sermons in stones, books in
running brooks and good in every.
thing" and assimilate them, but
I'm not built that way. | want

Last Thursday a daughter was
born to Mrs. Thurman now lying
in Jail charged with using the
mails to defraud. The incident il
