world Is a Democratic conception,
and a child of Democracy, born
under the first Cleveland adminis-
tration with w. G. Whitney, then
Democratic Secretary of tho Navy
as chief sponsor thereto.
We are in favor of the greatest
individual liberty consistent with
the public welfare. We solemn
ly declare that a strict enforce
ment of the law is absolutely
necessary to the existence of
good government and preservation
of society and the lives, liberty
and property of individual citi-
zens.
The position of the Democrtic
party on the liquor traffic, now agi-
tating the people of our state and
nation, is indellibly written in the
law and upon the Statute books OF
the state.
Strict regulation, with fearless
law enforcement together with
local prohibition-or local option
are doctrines of Missouri Demo
cracy, and have been the unequi-
vocal policy of the Democratic
party of the state for more than 9
quarter of a century.

After the noon rece IS the follow
ing permanent organization was
effected: Chairman, Hon. Alfred
Devault, Secretary, Joseph w.
Lavender, Assistant Secretaries,
Homer Moran, Howard Ellis, John
w. Jacks and Chris Pearson.
The report of the committee on
resolutions brought out consider
able discussion, and a set of reso-
lutions was submitted by Claude
r. Bail as a substitute for the re-
port of the com mittee. Mr.. Balls
resolutions were turned down.
Mr.. a. H. Kallmeyer of New
Flore nee, assumed the roll OF
pc ace-maker and offered an a.
me ndment to the report of the
committee which he thought
would placate Mr.. Ball, but his
efforts We're unavailing and the
res olutions in their original form
were adopted with but one disten-
terry vote that of Mr.. Ball.
Then a resolution was offered
pledging the delegates elected to
go to Jefferson City to vote for
DR.. w. A. Crockett for delegate to
the National Convention. MIR.
Ball was instantly upon his feet
again and opposed the adoption
of the resolution and assailed the
standing of DR.. Crockett as a
democrat. The Doctor denied the
egations and pronounced them
as unqualifiedly false. At this
point the peace maker, Mr.. Kali
meyer sgain took the floor and
succeeded in having the resolution
pledging the delegates in favor ol
DR.. Crockett withdrawn in the
interest of peace and harmony.
RESOLUTIONS.
We reaffirm our allegiance to
Che fundamental doctrines of the
Democratic party, and pledge oul
unqualified support thereto.
We firmly adhere to the theory
OF government held by oul
fathers: That the people are ths
source of all power; that our gov.
eminent begins with the people
and is based upon the consent O.
the governed, and therefore, the
nearer the administration of tn.

surer and more steadfast will tn,

The local option of Missouri was
passed at the regular session of the
Missouri Legislature in 1887. The
bill was introduced in the Senate
by Democratic Senator-the late
lamented Senator, j, p. Wood of
Rails county, passed by Demo-
cratic Senate and House, signed
by Democratic Governor and its
constitutional validity upheld by
Democratic Supreme Court. 1t

ia counties of the state, made so
by the Democracy of this state
and the vote of the people OF the
counties wherein adopted.

These facts are a practical DEM

of the people of the state.

MEN OF THE CONGREGATIONAL
 CHURCH
PLEASANTLY ENTERTAIN THEIR BRETHREN FROM THE BETHEL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

One of the most enjoyable events in
 Congregational church annals was the
 fellowship meeting, Saturday after
 noon. between the members of the
 Mems Federation of the local church
 and the Mems Union of the Bethel Con
 gregational church. The Bethel men
 came over 30 strong, in two large
 carryalls. The festivities of the after
 noon opened with ball game on the
 Fair grounds, between hines represent
 ing the two clubs. John c. Beers did
 the honor as umpire in an impartial
 manner. Rev Albert Steele, pastor of
 the Bethel church, played on the Bethel
 nine. He made slide for second base
 that nearly put him out of commission.
 He Was loudly cheered by the Bethel
 men for his many sharp plays. Rev Alexander Steele, his brother, played
 second base on the Newtown nine for Capt Carlson and put up a strong game. It was pretty game for four innings. Glover and Carlson were the battery for the Newtown club. and did effective work. In the fifth inning with two men on bases and one out Glover struck out two men in quick success sion. Owing to darkness and the fall ing rain the game was stopped at the end of the seventh inning, the score standing g to 3 in favor of Bethel. Con- sidering the small amount of practice the Newtown boys had had, they put up good game, in spite of the strong nine they were up against. The score in detail was as follows:
 Bethel: Bassett IS, Brodie c, Elrze 3b, Steele 1b, Underhill p, Bennett 2b, Lavaloy If, Joyce of, Birrele If.
 Newtown: Carlson c, Shepard 1b, Steele 2b, Glover p, Wallace ss, c. Smith 3b, McArthur If, B. Smith If, Chambers of, Tiemann of.
 Bethel, 0110223-9 Newtown, 001ll00-3
 Following the game an adjournment was made to the vestry of the church where a supper was served to the visiting guests. The tables were beau. tifed by bouquets of sweet peas, kind ly provided by Gustave w. Carlson. At the conclusion of the spread Henry M. Smith, president of the Mems Fed | eration, welcomed the guests in brief | speech and introduced Allison P. Smith as toastmaster. Senator W. P. Bailey, l president of the Bethel Mems Union, was first called on and expressed the thanks of the Bethel club for the hand some entertainment. He spoke of the value of the fellowship between the churches. Rev Albert Steele made a delightful little speech, expressing his of the value of these gath erings, ot the encouragement and help it brought to both clubs. Rev Alex ander Steele, Judge Woodman and Dea Knox also spoke briefly. The meeting closed with prayers by Maj Thomas and Dea H. M. Smith. A very enjoy able feature of the afternoon and even- ing was the singing of the glee club from the Bethel church. It was about 3 o'clock when the gathering reluct- antly broke up, after most delightful hours of fellowship

PR0yEMENT SOCIETY.
 There are a few of the business men
 of southford who have got together
 and thinking very strongly of forming a Village Improvement society, and to see II they cannot have Southford be just as attractive as Oxford is. In Oxford there Is no business whatever, and still they have one of the incest towns that there is in the state for the simple reason that the people all get together, and not only that but they have got some get up and get about them. There is no reason why South ford should not be just as attractive as any other small town in this vicin- ity Ii some of the good energetic men oi thls town would get together and form a society of this kind and there would be no reaso1 why Southford would not have a respectable appear. ance. While the writer was talking to man the other day in regard to the Improvements of Southford, he,said the conditions of Southford had been just the same for the past 25 years. If this IS true it is time for the voters and also for those who have an interest in the good and welfare of their flown to wake up to the fact that they are 25 years behind the times. As there IS to be meeting called. within the next few days to elect officers for the new Improvement society we hope every man and woman in town will attend, who has,the good of the town and well fare at heart.

IN MEMORIAM.
WRITTEN IN MEMORY OF A DEAR AUNT, MRS EDWIN T. HOOK, WHO DIED JULY 18TH.

From amidst our family circle Death made its way once more And called from us sincere friend: A sister fond, true, faithful mother, 4 loving wife, has bidden earth adie u. Oh. our home is lonely, sad tonight, Our hearts are filled with woe, And, though we strive to keep them
 back,
 The tears unceasing flow. Her voice forever more is hushed, Her step is silenced now, Her face, once fair, is marble white Deaths hand has paled her brow. We'll hear no more her joyous laugh, Her smile we'll sadly miss; Oh, Death! why call away the loved And leave us lone like this? We laid her away in the valley, To her quiet, dreamless sleep, Where the pine trees 4murmur her re- quiem And the angels safe watch keep; And turned our steps to her desolate
 home, Yet dreading to enter there, For we shrank from the thought of the
 empty room And the sight of the empty chair. Oh! lonely now our home will be Without her face so bright; But let us hope, in Heavens home. It shines with angel light, And when, at last, our days are past Our pain and sorrows o'er- In gladness may we meet her, On that bright, celestial shore. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in thy grave so low. Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our sorrow know. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled. And in Heaven with joy to greet thee Where no farewell tears are shed.
