---
Clear and pretty today, but white
with snow in this community. Medium
warm.
The~firm of Dobbs, CASTLE & Sutton
have dissolved partnership, Sutton
going out. Too much expense and
nothing coming. MI. Sutton will now
work for himself.

over to the Chelsea Farm, better
known as the James Buford farm, on

edgments for Charles E. Harris, who

Marion Lewis and Charles Lewis,
and Malinda J. Lewis and Matte
Lewis, their wives, r in Annapolis
today on some legal business. AT
present there is not any Justice or
Notary Public at Des Arc on account
of the death of j. FL. johnson, who
has been the Justice of the Peace in
that place for several years, and of
late was appointed by the Governor
of the state of Missouri as a Notary
Public. Mr.. johnson made an efficient,
good officer, as we'll as a good neigh
Dor. He was a pleasant man to have
business with. He protested religion
in the Bethlehem Church, and since
that time has lived up to the Sancti-
fication and Holiness bylaws and
claimed a home in Heaven. He leaves
a wife and several boys and girls to
mour the loss of a good husband and
father.
There are several aspirants for the
Annapolis Post Office at present; Gus
Funk, Charles W. Phillips, John Seal,
Robert Miller and Sylvester Kitchell.
1t seems it is a non-political piece of
business now. But heretofore a man
had to be a Republican by birth to
get a Post Office in this state. AS far
as the writer is concerned, Gus Funk
suits me to hold it just as it is.
Lewis Brewer is moving himself and
family down to Boge Stith's, about
ten miles southwest of Piedmont. He
will cut logs and make ties for Mr..
Stith down in that community. Lewis
is making a wise step, for there is
nothing here anymore for a laboring
man; the inspection on ties is too
close.
Marion Lewis will pay Ironton a
visit today and will be up there a
couple of days attending County
| Court.
Esquire Kitchell viii be in Ironton
this week, looking after business.
Miss Emaline Brewer will call on the
County Court this week, and ask q
donation from the court for assisting
of the poor in sickness and death.
She should receive something.
I understand William 7. O'Neal Of
Frankclay will be a candidate at the
coming Primary Election for office in
Iron County, Missouri. Come on,
Bill! I am still here.
Reese and Warner have RATED quite
a large raft of switch ties from their
sawmill on Black River, They landed
the ties at the mouth of Bear Branch
and will haul them to Annapolis for
shipment at once.

to Fredericktown the first of next
week to make application for parti-
ton sale of lands belonging to Mel
vim Campbell, deceased, the father Of
James Campbell, ct al.
William Collyottte is moving to
Richland' to day, and Charles Hamp-
ton will move into the building he
moved out of, unless other arrange
ments are made.
James Johnson has a fine lot Of
cattle on the pasture off H. fuckers
farm south of town-seventy-fve head
in all.
Gus Funk is having a time to gel
some one to clear three or four acres
of land for him and has run the price
up to SO per acre; but everybody hal
work or don't want to work-one OF
the other. The last mar tried wanted
two loaves of bread and | expect he il
out his bread, for nine times out o.
ten the man and bread will all travel.
Henry Sutton, the son Of Nathan
Sutton, is pretty bad off and 1t is go.
ing to be a close call for him.
Sarah j. Campbell is on the puny
list.
Miss Williams Of Minimum was APP
pointed post master at that place and
assumed the office last week, sue
%cessor to VIM. Long. There are sew
eral applicants for the post-office al

get 1t.
DR.. Farr is buying all the hogs he

take that price.
