many thousand people.
A telegram received from Cotton,
California, Monday night, an
nounced the death of M. B. Tet-
wiler the day previous. The name
of the deceased will be familiar to
all the older residents of the VAL
ley. He came to Pilot Knob in
1856, and a year later removed to
Ironton. He built the residence
now occupied by Mrs. Curtis,
adjacent to Adolph's jewelry store,
and there for forty years he and
his family lived. About fifteen
years ago, after the death of his
wife, he removed to Poplar Bluff,
and thence to California, where he
remained to the end. His age was
about So years. A fitting obituary
will follow.
Some of the amended provisions

Clardy, Jr., E. E Swink, N. A.
Kinkead and S. j. Tetley, as Exc
cutive Committee. 1t was de-
cided to hold the next fair some
time in September, probably
about the middle of the month,
but before the exact date is named
an effort will be made to form a
circuit with other fairs to be held
in this section and Southern Illi-
nois. The board is determined to
make the next fair one of the best

E. S. Reynolds, the Kansas City
gentleman who relieved a number
of our citizens of some of their
filthy lucre about a year or so ago
in a fraudulent land deal, and who
was senterced at the last August
term of circuit court to three years
in the penitentiary for the crime
and then had the verdict set aside
and a new trial granted, has failed
to appear for trial at this term OF
court and Judge Williams has
declared his bond forfeited,
Reynolds after lying in Jail for a
long time finally gave bond in the
sum of S $4,000 for his appearance
in court, some party in Kansas
City going security for him. We
understand the bond is good ano
will be collected. 1t is more than
likely the forfeiture was arranged
between Reynolds and his surety
the former paying the price tc
keep from having to appear toI
trial,-Potosi Journal.
