EARLY SETTLERS.
Conditions in Monroe
How Mark Twain's Old
Home Lost Out.

of Monroe county. The old set
tiers OF Audrain will be interested
in its reading:
Monroe county was named, nf
course, for The President of The
United States under whose admin.
istration Missouri was admitted to
the federal union. James Monroe.
There was n struggle for the coun.
ty seat between Paris aud Florida.
Paris won, but to Florida was re
served n greater honor. In that
small hamlet was born November
20, 1885, Samuel Langhorns
Clemens, whom the world knows
and loves as Mark Twain.
Some years ago Mark Twain
sent to the place of his birth, on
the occasion of one of it's celebra.
tions, set of his books aud $25
in money.
Hancock 5. jackson of Ran
dolph county, Stephen s. Glas.
cock of Rails county, aud Joseph
Holiday of Pike county, composed
the commission which chose Paris
in preference to Florida as the
county seat. Jackson afterward
became lieutenant governor of the
state.
Monroe county has way of
making statesmen. 1t is, except
ing Boone, the banner Democratic
county of Missouri, aud had at one
time justice of the supreme
court, Theodore Brace, now Just
retired. a gracious gentleman full
of years and honors, the state
treasurer, the late Frank l.. Pitts,
one-armed ex.Confederate soldier
and the speaker of the house of
representatives, james Il. White.
cotton, still vigorous in politics.
The congressman from the Second
district, Robert n. Bodine, also
lived and as ex-congressman yet
lives in the same good old town of
Paris.
1t was from twenty-five to fifty
miles 10 a poftofiice when the first
settlers made their homes in Mon
roe county. Now Uncle Sans
route carriers take mail to prac-
tically every farm in the couny.
Rural life is changing in Missouri
aud Monroe county affords fine
illustration of the change. Two
or three letters a year wers the
extent of the mail privileges
then. Now the daily newspaper
is brought to the farmers mail box.
John Burton was an early jns-
tice of the peace in Mouroe coun.
ty. he set an excellent example
of disciplinary jnstiee. Rious. a
free negro, was brought before the
justice on the complaint of the
brother of the justice, Reuben Bur-
ton, charged with stealing a hog.
The evidence, tho circumstantial.
was strong against the negro until
the witnesses for the defense were
called. Then to the surprise of
of the court room the Justice called
on Pleasant Ford. the constable, to
administer the oath to him. took
the stand, testified in behalf Of the
negro aud against his brother,
then went back on the bench,
summed up the testimony aud
cleared the negro.

afterward polish with dry whitening
and a leather, using a brush for any
parts into which the leather will not
go.
Be sure that all stains are removed
