A Masquerade Ball is to be held
at the Opera House on Thursday
evening, Oct. 81, more complete
notice of which appears elsewhere
in this issue. A similar event was
put on by the Woodmen last year
and proved a great success. A
large number who did not go into
it last year expressed their regret
that they didn't take an active part
and they will undoubtedly join the
others in the masquerade a week
from Friday evening. Begin your
preparations early. There will be
good music, good prizes and good
time for all.

should never leave it. to full is it of
purity and beauty. It's beauty is
the basis of some of the fine arts

is no more the power to appreciate
an orchestra or an opera THAI the
power to appreciate the songs of
birds. 1t requires as much culture
to appreciate a field of blooming
clover as to appreciate a gallery OF

to appreciate a book, a picture or an
opera; it is the power that detects
the anthem of the morning larks

shooting it: the power to walk care

reed. This is the culture of the

Some time in the early part of
March, 1869, a negro by the name
of Nathan was married to a woman
who it is claimed was white. The
ceremony was performed by Justice
Kneighton, who was strong negro
equality agitator, and while he
claimed that the woman had a trifle
of African blood in her veins, very
few people believed him, and his
act was keenly resented, not only
by whites but by the better class of
colored people. Nathan, for very
strong reasons, decided that he had
better not try to stay in Palmyra, so
he and the woman went to Monroe
City. The mixing of the races was
not popular in that town. either,
and they had been there only few
days when the man was attacked
by a crowd of young blacks and
literally beaten to death. A negro
by the name of Tom Good was ar
rested for killing him, and although
a hundred or more people were
witnesses to the affair, not one
could be persuaded or forced to tes-
tify against him. If the whole truth
was known it is not improbable
that white men both here and at
Monroe City were at least indirectly
responsible Possibly there was no
intention to kill the man, but they
would not stand for the mixing of
the races, and it was thought that
a severe beating would make good
object lesson.-Scraps of history in

Fine Field of Grass Seed.

Missouri has this year harvested
the best crop of Kentucky blue

mated at 100000 bushels, as COM
pared with $4,000 last year One
Jackson county farmer harvested
1000 bushels and would have had
800 more but for storm at har-
vest time. A "stripper" a spiked
cylinder arrangement, is used in
harvesting the seed.

importance, especially in Southwest
Missouri. This crop is harvested
with a binder, shocked like wheat,
and later threshed. The yield runs
from 4 to IL bushels per acre. ID

price is variable - from S to ii
cents per pound, although it has
sold as high as $14.5O per hundred

Another grass seed crop of Mis-
souri, is English bluegrass" grown
in Henry, St. Clair and other coun-
ties of that section. Wesley Griffith
was a pioneer grower, and his
daughter whose home is in Henry

This year five car loads have beer

price has been IL IL cents pei
