White succeeded in getting enough signatures to Hayden's bond to secure his release from jail. The bond was $300. The negroes of Springfield promise that they will before the next term of the Christian county court raise enough money to test the case in the supreme court in case Hayden is convicted, which he no doubt will be. Aaron White believes that there are 4,000 negroes who will contribute 81 each to carry on the legal fight. If the negroes are beaten in the Missouri supreme court they will take the case to the higher court.

Hayden claims that the officers at Ozark knew he was going to marry a white woman, but this is denied by the officials. IS ALWAYS SO. Paternal Objection to a Marriage Again Overcome. Miss Lizzie Burns Ran Away to St. Louis and Was Married to Fred Wrightsman.

The parents of the girl have been outwitted again, as is nearly always the case when paternal objections interfere when two young people determine to get married.

Fred Wrightsman is the son of the Commercial street For a long time he has loved grocer.

Lizzie Burns and she loved him pretty with equal ardor. He is a Protestant and her parents are Catholics, and it is supposed that this was the principal objection of the Burns family, who some time ago forbid the girl from Keeping company with Wrightswan. objections, however, were very and when the two had clandisstrong, tine meetings Miss Burns' brothers threatened to kill Wrightsman, it is and one night followed him with said, a revolver. hearts which beat in The two young could not be kept apart, howunison and secret meetings at the house ever, of a friend were frequent.

FRUIT OF SOUTH MISSOURI. Six and a Quarter Million Bushels of Apples and Peaches. THIS IN HOWELL COUNTY ALONE And There Are Others -Six Hundred Teams Will Be Required to Haul Away the Crop. Charles S. Wheeler of West Plains, who is competent and reliable authority, has made a careful estimate of the fruit in Howell county and places the number of trees at 1,250,000.

These are almost wholly apple and and at an average product of peach, five bushels per tree the total crop when all get into bearing would amount to 6,250,000 bushels. Were the to realize from a this crop an producers average of 40 cents per bushel the crop would realize and put into the pockets of the fruit growers of Howell county $2,500,000. At a fair estimate there are 18,000 acres in orchards in the county, not including ground used in vineyard. 500 bushels to the car the Counting for one year would require the product service of 12,500 cars to haul the crop to market, or about 650 fruit trains. If this fruit should be moved in the four months from July to October inclusive the shipments would be more than six trains a day.

There is also perhaps 175,000 grape vines in the county. A fair product for these should produce a million and a half pounds of grapes, which cents pound would be worth 830,000 and 8 load 75 cars. estimate the amount which would To be paid out during a shipping season to handle all this fruit would be almost impossible, but large force of hands would find employment. Hundreds of acres are being planted every year, so that the crop in a few years promises to be of almost incalculable immensity. The strawberry product is rapidly and the other smell.
