The two editors of the Carllnville papers, Messrs David and Lumpkius, had a square tnea' at the ''Poor House" last week. They were the of the Board of Supervisors who made a tour of infection and pronounced the institution a good I'd to live in. When L.

He also left the Congregational church 4800 per year for that length of time, at tho expiration of which $8,000 was to bo paid to It and as I said balance was to go to the missions. At timo of his death it is within safe bounds to state that there was over $30,000 of au estate and it is also safe mate that the Missions wont get flvo thousand dollars. The Congre- TgaHonal church has ceased to exibt consequently cannot the 'three thousand, and probably would not get it if they could claim it.

The 'Will was always looked on by our people as rather heartless in many re- apeots and unjust to the 'Squires titiildron. Horace Stratton, a brother of L. P.

Not a soul was hurt except himself, bis head being laid open for several inches. When sober he appeared a great bit; lubberly good natured fellow who would not harm a child. The other day a man with a red head went to Davlson'a livery stable and secured a horse and rig to go to Bolt's School home, to be gone an hour. He evidently was delayed, for he has not returned yet. His last trace was passing the Scarritt place, and the horse has not gone to Alton, St.

Louis, Wann or further south. He is a well-marked animal, being a dan, with four white legs, and so odd and peculiar looking that no one would fail noticing him. It is believed he is not far from the coal branch, and if be is he will be found. HOLLY GEENNT. BETH ALTO.
