Last week William Bird of this county finished threshing his wheat and put it different pens near where the straw was ricked. Friday night he set fire to the straw and burned it up, and supposed the fire was all out.

Saturday morning he WAS at the wheat pens but saw no indications of fire, but about noon he WaS suprised to discover that every one of the wheat pens were on fire and before anything could be done they were burned to ashes. The pens contained 1,600 bushels of excellent wheat, which was burned within a few hours time. Fortunately, however the wheat was insured for $1000 which will nearly cover the loss at present prices.

Alec Doneghy, Kirksville, was in town the first of the week assisting the Eckert boys in invoicing Doneghy stock of goods at this place. -Greencastle Independent. A man was arrested in Chicago Monday for disturbing the peace because he kissed a pretty young woman with her consent. If that is called a disturbance of the peace, just mark us down for a riot. -Monroe News.

On Tuesday last, one of George Welch's little boys walked up behind a horse, from which he received a severe kick in the face. Dr. Dooley was called and dressed the wound. This is the second case of a child being kicked by a horse in this county within the last two weeks. If a little more care was exercised it might be prevented.

-Lancaster Excelsior. The hot winds of last week completely cooked many fields of corn in this locality. Many farmers are cutting the half matured stalks for fodder. Any amount of rain would not better the corn crop in many places in this immediate locality. Crops of all kinds are almost a complete failure and the outlook is anything but encouraging to the farmer.

-Edgar (Nebraska). Times. Prof. E. D.

Luckey proves himself a proficient instructor by the manner in which he handles the Institute. We think that Lancaster has secured a principal who will do credit to their school. He is certainly a luckey: Luckey as he meets with success in whatever he undertakes, having proved himself a successful teacher, and carried off the first honors, in both the two and four years classes at the Normal. So may we conclude he will carry off' first honors in the profession as a -Lancaster Excelsior. A man whose name we failed to learn, came to town last Saturday, threw himself around a large for home, got Mr.

Sawquantity of started yer's residence in East Edina, fell his horse, laid in the sun for some time--until some good samaritan took pity on him, covered him up and put a pillow under his head. After sleeping an hour or two he woke up, looked around in surprise, examined the pillow and then started on his way home, wondering no doubt, who it was that had treated him so kindly in his drunken slumber. -Edina Democrat. A man by the name of James Lackland came to town last Friday from somewhere on the Santa Fe, and amused himself by beatling a mule most unmercifully with a large club. The exhibition took place on the west side of the square, and it had no sooner ended than Charles McCauley, deputy sheriff, did the wise thing by politely inviting, the young man to accompany him to Esq.

Ennis' office, where he was informed his fun would cost him just fitteen dollars including costs. Not having over eight dollars about his jeans Charles had to accompany him back to the works to get the -Edina Democrat. The wheat yield this year grows more and more astonishing as the news comes in from the harvest fields. Milton Swinney had one field of about 19 acres that yielded thirty-five, bushels, and J. W.

Waters had a field that yielded forty-five bushels to the acre, And upon the testimony of Sam Jacoby and several others we are enabled to state that the measure at the machine not only holds out in weight when delivered at the mill, but that it gains several bnshels in every hundred. We are beginning to think that the present vield has never been exceeded by any previous year in Pike Clarksville BORN. TONY- To the wife of Benj. Tony Aug. 9th, a boy, weight 14 lbs.

Otis Miller, Mr. J. A. Miller of Kentucky, Misses Cora and Per Harris. Mrs.

M. T. Sloan, Misses Lela Sloan and Clara Miller. A Flouring Mill. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted by Adair county Horticulture Society last Saturday.

WHEREAS, our canvass of the subject of, 1 wheat growing to-day has abundantly satisfied us that wheat has been grown very succesfully the past season and in larger quantity than ever before in this county, which will be immeasurably increased next season, and Whereas the county is without a flouring mill of suflicient capacity to meet this production and further stimulate our farmers to growing wheat. Therefore be it RESOLVED, That Adair County Horticultural society favors the erection in Kirksville of a mill with all modern appliances and of sufficient capacity to meet the wants of the public, and be it furer RESOLVED, That we appeal to the merchants and business men of Kirksville, to take hold of this subject and give such aid as in their judgment the enterprise will justify. LaPlata Items. Railroad talk is gradually dying out but the work is still going on. Miss Viola Wilcox, of Millard, was visiting 111 this place last week.

The meeting at the Cumberland Presbyterian church conducted by Rev. Sears of Illinois, is still in progress.

Greentop Crumbs. The last week has been exceedingly hot and dry. W. A. McKeehan and family left Monday night for Kansas.

We wish them well in their new liome. There is being a subscription circulated to raise funds to fence the church. Success to the undertaking, for if anything is needed to be done, that, undoubtedly, is the thing. The principal of our school and Miss Debby Whittmer were absent last week, attending the Institute at Lancaster, they report a very interesting and profitable time. Mr.

Wright's infant child is quite sick. Those who have threshed wheat and oats have had splendid yields. Dr. Wilson threshed 1000 bushels of wheat from 45 acres. Mr.

Gregory from 10 acres threshed 306 bushels. Miss Gertrude, Sickles has returned from quite an extended visit to friends in Centerville, and Unionville, Mo. Messrs Light, Tice, Stewart and our teacher, spent two or three days on the Chariton last week. They report plenty of mosquitos and hot weather as the results of their catch; but not intending to be out done they are going to try it again soon. Hope they will have better success next time.

Mr. the weather is so hot and dry that all the news are dried up. UNCLE TOM. New Hearse. T.

There is a Light in the Window for Thee At Montgomery Beilby's store we jaw a lamp burning at midday inquiry we found the Asbestos Lamp Wicks were the chief attraction. These Wicks never char, never burn out, never require trimming, never explode. The lamp does not emit the sickening odor common to all other wicks when burning; can be turned down to the lowest point of burning and the combustion is perfect, hence very valuable in sick rooms. Try one. Sold only at MONTGOMERY BIELBY'S.

FUNK- -On Sunday afternoon, Aug. 7th, the writer conducted the funeral services held in honor of Wm. H. Funk. Mr.

Funk was born in Preston, county, West Virginia, 1815. He died at his home in Kirksville, Ang. 6, 1887, aged 72 years, 5 months, and 5 days. He was a faithful husband, an indulgent father, a righteous man and a good citizen. He leaves a large family and a wide circle of friends to mourn for him.

His body was buried in the Kirksville cemetery. SIMPSON ELY. SOHN -At Greencastle, Aug. 4th, 1887, Manford F. 'only son and youngest child of J.

C. and Minerva Sohn, aged 6 years, 11 months and 26 days. Little Manford possessed powers of reason remarkable for 8 child of of his age and especially the last few days of his life. His suffering at times was great and he would frequently say "it seems that there is no help for me," and that he must die. The day before he died he asked his mother if she ed thought that he was better, she answershe hoped he was, and asked him what he thought.

He replied: "I am growing worse all the time and will die On being asked if he wanted to leave papa and mamma he said: "No, but I suppose I'll have to go." About two hours before his death, while resting in his father's arms, his face lit up with a smile and pointing upward he said "I see angels;" a short time afterwards he said: "I see Grand Pa." His grandfather Sohn preceded him about 16 months. When asked if grandpa was waiting for him, and if any other persons were with him, he answered, "yes, but I only know grandpa." A short time before he died, he told his father that he was dying and would like to bid his little playmates, Elbert Baldwin, Webster Shearer and Dotty Taylor, good bye. When they came he gave them his hand bidding each good-bye with as much calmness as if they were only separating for a short time. He then in turn bid father, mother and his four sisters good-bye. May the great physician heal the broken hearts of his parents and sisters and by his dying words lead us all to higher, holier and purer lives.

H. C. S. OBITUARY. Martha A.

Elmore was born in Schuyler county. May 2, 1850 and died of tuberculosis, at her home in Wilson township, Adair county, Missouri, Aug. 2d, 1887. She came to this county with her parents in girlhood. Here she met and wedded Mr.

James F. Johnson, who with one son and two daughters survive to mourn their irreparable loss. At the age of fifteen she gave her heart to the Lord Jesus, who was her refuge and strength during all the after years, but more especially during the wears months of waiting that preceded her decease. She was buried at Union Methodist Episcopal church attended by a host of friends and neighbors. The services were conducted by her pastor Rev.

W. H. Turner. In all the varied social and domestic relations of life; as neighbor, wife and mother, Mrs. Johnson commanded the esteem and love of her whole circle of acquaintances; especialy in her own home as wife and mother did her character shine with brightest luster.

We shed natural tears of bereavement, but we sorrow not as those having no hope. X. 1887! a 4 CLOTHING FINE DNIHLOTO -THE OLD RELIABLE Price House of J. F. WHITACRE CO.
