a cas- a smallpox, though not of a
virulent type. The city health au-
thorities have taken the matter in
hand and have placed the family and
house under quarantine, and it is
hoped these measures will prevent a
spread of disease. Mr.. Higginbotham
probably caught the infection in the
neighborhood of his home in johnson
Township, where there have been
several cases of the smallpox lately.
He was returning home via Potosi a
week. ago from trip to North Mis-
souri,, when he became ill.-Potosi

The Supreme Court on Tuesday
handed down an opinion affirming
the verdict of the circuit court of this
county which sentenced Rob't. Miller
to the penitentiary for life at the No
vember, 1918, term of court, for the
murder of Richard Mallow, which &C.
cured near Edgehill, in August, 1918.
Mallow was a recluse and known to
carry several hundred dollars, but
when his body was found it was evil
dent that his body had been rifed and
the money was missing. Miller was ar
rested and convicted, the evidence be-
ing entirely circumstantial. Miller
came of an excellent family and pre-
vious to this had always borne a good
reputation in the community where
he lived. -Centerville Outlook.
During the past month many of the
papers published in the southeast,
southwest and ~ortheastern sections
of the state have contained articles
boosting Senator Buford for State
Treasurer or Lieutenant Governor,
and a few have mentioned his name
in connection with the GoyerDorship.
While we do not know what the
SENATOR'S intentions are we are of the
opinion that il he enters state politics
next year it will not be for Lieutenant
Governor nor for State Treasurer, but
for the Governorship. During the
Senator's career in the upper branch
of the general assembly he has ''made
good'a in every respect. Senator Blu
ford is the author of some of the best
laws on our statutes. He has always
labored for the best interests of the
people Of the state, generally, and has
made many friends Out

o dark the day, o dire the hour,
With hope forever gonel
EGone from me now my old time pow'r
Der street and walk and lawn!
o, dear the days of old, the when
My daily course | held
Adown the street and back again,
just as my fancy willed!
No bar to me the garden gate
With latch or hook made fast;
My patient skill did not abate
Until its ward, was passed.
And then did yield the cabbage bed
To me a sweeter feed
Than honest pasture, clover red,
Or Powered blue grass mead.
How fell the music Of my bell
