We have had some rain and snow
since last week, but the snow is all
gone and it is clear to-day.
Jesse McGlothliD, a pioneer of st.
Francois county, died at his home in
st. Lonis-last week and the remains
were brought here and inferred in the
Annapolis cemetery. The deceased
was born near Iron Mountain and en-
igrated to Reynolds county, settling
on Bee Fork of Black river in 1860.
In 1861 he enlisted in the Confederate
army under Joe Shelby and remained
in the service until the close of the
war. Since then he has spent most of
his life in Iron county, making his
home in Annapolis for many years.
About three years ago he went to st.
Louis and engaged in the mercantile
business. He had a fire recently and
sustained a loss of S2700. A short
time ago he was stricken with appeu-
dicitis; and died last Thursday. The
remains were accompanied here by
the deceased's brother, Joseph, his
sons, Clarence and William, and
daughter, Mrs. Copeley, all of st.
Louis. The funeral was conducted Ly
the Odd Fellows, a number of the
brethren from Piedmont being in at
tendance.
Married-At the home of the BRIDES
sister, Mrs. Edward Eichelberger,
Piedmont, Mo-, Charles II. Vanheim-
er, of Chicago, and Pearl M. Asberry,
of Annapolis, Rev. VIM. Seals oficiat-
ing. The bride is the daughter of
Mrs. Hattie Asberry of Annapolis;
the lucky mans home is in Chicago
and he was until recently a sergeant
in the army. The bride was the re-
eipient of many valuable presents
from friends in Annapolis and Pied
mont. The young couple will reside
in Chicago, where Mr.. Vanheimer has
employment with Montgomery, Ward
& Co. This romance commenced
about two years ago by him dropping
his address from a train. An exchange
of letters and photographs followed,
and as soon as he was discharged
from the service he came and claimed
her.
The team of Henry White of Mini
mum ran away last Thursday and his
son, twelve years old, fell off the wa
gon and was fatally injured, dying in
a few minutes. 1t is said the only
words the boy uttered, after being
injured, was to ask some one to re-
move his shoe. Mr.. Crate jackson,
of Crane Pond Greek, grandfather Of
the boy, was summoned and Mrs.
Jackson went to spend the night with
her son, John Jackson. When they
returned home Friday morning they
found their home and smokehouse
and adjoining buildings all in ashes.
Everything a total loss. Mr.. White and
family have much sympathy in their
affection, and we are certainly sorry
to hear of Mr.. Jackson's misfortune.
The drill that was being operated on
the old Buckner farm, southeast of
town, has been moved from there
and is now east of the Nathan Sutton
farm. They will soon have that farm
fnll of holes, as we'll as the Funk farm
adjoining it.
Squire Kitchell has been in bed most
of the past week with grip and cold,
but is better to-day.
Sam Moss is still on the mend. He
has had a hard siege of it, it being
about six weeks since he went to bed
with pneumonia.
Walter Pennington is here from Camp
Fusnton on furlough. He w%illsreturn
there this week and may be dis
charged in the near future. He was
on the sick list when he went into the
army, but is hale, fat and hearty now.
Mrs. Fanuie Reese has been In bed
with influenza the past week, but is
better.
The prospect is encouraging that
the Missouri Legislature will provide
for the Confederate pensions.
The correspondent has a letter from
his son, James A. Kitchell, of Sher-
man, Texas. He says he is buying oil
stock. That may be all right, but l
would rather put my money in some
thing else. BULLETIN.
