late Judge, will appeal the case to
the Supreme Court.
The shipment of a car of blister
copper from this city last Monday
morning by the North American
Lead Company, marks the be-
ginning of a new era of prosperity
to Fredericktown and Madison
county and southeast Missouri in
general. 1t is, we believe, the first
car of copper ever semelted in
Missouri, and the copper ore was
taken from the mines of the North
American lear this city. The
supply of oregis inexhaustsble; the
North American Company have
spent in the neighborhood of $780,
000in erecting their smelling plant;
the industry is in it's infancy and
should be fostered and encouraged
by u people, every encourage
ment should be given the men who
are at the head of this enterprise,
their success means the success of
every other enterprise in Madison
county. = FredericktoUB Democrat
NelDS.
A representative of the Democrat
was recently informed that when
the new general superintendent of
the st. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern railway took his po-
sition with the company as super
intendent of the road, he made
some pledges that don't sound at
all good for Poplar Bluff. 1t is
alleged that he pledged the stock
holders of the Iron Mountain that
he would make them 1000, 900 a
year profits off of the Missouri
division. In order to do this it
necessitates a reduction of ex-
penses and the expenditure of no
Improvements. 1t means that Sec
ton and train crews are cut down
and, in fact a rigid economy in
the operating department, thereby
throwing an unjust amount of
work on to a small force of en-
ployes of the company. Tt also
means that not only will the keep
ing up of the tracks be neglected,
but Iron Mountain buildings, too,
will be neglected, and whore i'm
provements are needed they will
be overlooked. The Iron Noun
tain at one time promised Poplar
Bluff a 5000 station; at another
time a S55, 900 station, and at an
other time a S33, 1000 station, but
with these pledges existing it is
very probable that we will be
compelled to do with our S3.98
depot. The Iron Mountain makes
a practice of changing managers
every year, and every new year,
and every new manager tries to
make his first year in cutting ex-
penses. If the company keeps
changing managers, and Poplar
Bluff sleeps on her rights, it will
be August is, 1884, before a new
depot is secured. The company,
some time within the next twenty
five years, may do as Division
Engineer Carroll suggested-raise
the depot a foot and a half and
give it a coat of paint, and, as he
said, ''make a depot of it that the
town will be proud Of" The
above information as to the pledge
between the division superintend-
ent and the railway company was
given by an employee of the Iron
Mountain, and for that reason we
do not give our authority.--PopIar
BJMf' Democrat.

To Der Ole Man,

Just listen to oder Ole Man."
He keeps a country store;
He's got a great big augur
But he don't know how to bore.
Suppose for illustration,
l should adopt his style
And him accuse of falsehood,
Dishonor, theft and guile,
Regardless of his feelings,
With a don't care hit or miss?
Me thinks my vile productions
Would be somewhat like this;
His tobacco's old and funky,
His pepper is half p's,
His crackers somewhat musty,
There's maggots in his cheese.
His customers, they tell me
That they long ago have found
His selling weight was Only
Twelve ounces to the pound.
He pours water on his sugar,
At least, that's what they say,
Puts sand in bran and shipstuf,
You see that makes them weigh.
Right here just let me whisper,
Then pass the matter by.
One day a fellow told me
There was "bitters" on the sly.
He claims to be a doctor,
Pretends to cure all ills
BY some kind Of "foul decoctiou,"
Some kind OF ''patent pills."
'Twould never do to trust him,
His practice is to(o) l(o)ose.
The only work he's ever read
Is the "Statute on the Goose"
The wild ducks on migration
In passing Ger his shack,
Their voices lift with one accord
And loudly sing "quack! quack!"
Now I'll say in conclusion,
The fact I'll not disguise,
The rhymes l here have jotted down,
Are a pack of barefaced lies.
Still you'll find the same truths in them,
AS in modern politics,
Or your talk of transcribed records"
And three hundred seventy-s six.
