BRYAN
Enthusiastically Received At 1888
Saturday Morning Anxious to
Hear the Great Commoner.

Monroe City and vicinity is loyal
to Bryan the greatest man living
on earth today. Saturday last is Il
day which will long be remembered
in Monroe City as on that day
Bryan honored our people with a
short speech. The train carrying
Mr.. Bryan and party was greeted
at the M. X. & T. depot at 1888 a.
m. by at least 1000 people anxious
to see and hear the great man whose
ever utterance is for the betterment
of mankind. Bryan while he needs
no introduction to any audience in
America was formally introduced
by Senator McAllister.
Mr.. Bryan expressed his pleasure
in meeting a Missouri audience,
spoke highly of W. S. Cowherd the
Democratic nominee for Governor,
saying that he personally was well
acquainted with Mr.. Cowherd and
knew him to be man of honor,
integrity, and ability and congratu-
lated the Democracy of Missouri on
having such a man at the head of
the ticket.
The trip across the State from
Hannibal to St. Joseph was con-
tinuous ovation showing that the
people of Missouri are with Bryan
in his great fight for a government
where the people rule. And re-
ports from other states are the
same as from Missouri. While
speaking here Mr. Bryan held a
pretty bouquet which had been
presented to him by Miss Arlie
Schafer.

GAMES FOR THANKSGIVING
Stuffed Cat.

Ttuffed cat needs no paraphenalia
except one of the stuffed calico cats
that one used to see so often. Look
about in the old trunks, or in the
boxes in the attic and you'll be
pretty sure to find one. To play
Stuffed Cat" choose aides and
stand like an old-fashioned spelling
bee, in two long rows, facing each
other. The leader stands between
the two rows at the head. He holds
the stuffed cat in his hands. One
side chooses face" and the other
side back."aThe leader throws the
cat in the air and it fall between
the two rows OF players. If it falls
face up, the side that chose face"
begins to laugh, while the other
side must be absolutely sober
faced. Should any one on the nom
laughing side smile, he must 90 to
the opposite side. After fifteen sec
Onds the cat is picked up. and
thrown again. Probably it falls
with the back up. Then the side
that chose back" begins to shrek
with mirth. The other side. so late
| ly gay, becomes grave. And so on,
and so on. until the players stop
from sheer WEAKNESS. 1t sounds a
bit silly. but it really is the most
successful game for a stiff, bored
party that was ever tried.-New
Idea Woman's Magazine for Nov.
lvember.

The Banner admits doing every
thing possible to secure justice for
Howard Sharp. We thought his
sentence light for the crime COM
mitted and believe his pardon UNI
just. Upon what grounds a pardon
was secured the Banner has been
unable to learn, but from talk in
this noiehborhood we predict it will
cost many Folk votes"

Fish Fry.

A high old time and fish fry is in
anticipation at Cooperville. The
Democrats and Republicans are 90
ing to have a fish fry the first Sat-
urday after the national election
and it makes no difference how cold
the water is. the fish must be
caught. If Bryan is elected, the
Republicans must enter the water
and furnish the fish, but if Taft
(perish the thought) is elected
then the Democrats will have tc
take to the water and catch the fish
