former Pilot Knob boy, who is
engaged in the wholesale cigar
business at Des Moines, Iowa.

know that he is getting along
nicely.
A card from MI. Simerman in
forms me that he is now sojourn-

Some tariff statistician says that
our protected cow-bell manu-
facturers sell their product to
home CONSUMERS" at prices II
per cent. higher than they charge

Great American System of Pro-
lection.

County Clerk, James McPheeters,
has issued 400 hunters licenses in
Scott county, up to date. There
will be at least 100 more issued
| during the season. There are ia
counties in the state, and if each
county issues as many licenses as
| Scott it will cost the hunters of the
state not less than sixty thousand
dollars for the privilege OF hunting
this season. This money will go
to pay salaries and expenses of
game wardens.--Benton Democrat.
Harry Patton, of Ironton, Mo-,
visited friends in our town last
week. Mr.. Patton is a profess
sional ball player, and has quite a
record as a pitcher among the

against the strong Jonesboro club,
champions of the Arkansas State
League beating them 80 and
striking out twelve men.-Potos,

"A number of Harry Hamel's
friends have mentioned him as a
candidate for the democratic nom
inltion for prosecuting attorney
next year. Harry is one of the
cleanest young men in t~he-county,
a fine lawyer, attends strictly to
business and if he should run
could be easily nominated, and we
believe he would be elected. He is
a product of Jefferson county,
comes of one of the best families
in the county and if he could be
induced to run would no doubt
add strength to the ticket.-De Soto
Press.
About all the visitors from the
valley to the centennial festivities
lin st. Louis returned home the
latter part of last week. All 9
port a big time, but an immense
crowd and all the Inconvenience
and discomforts incident thereto.
We hear of one or two persons
failing to get beds to sleep in
while gone but these were prob
ably exceptional cases But the
crowd was larger-far larger than
anything the Worlds Fair as
sembled-and the hospitality and
capacity Of the city were taxed to
the utmost.
A deed of trust for S250,0 0 was
flad for record in this county this
