In Probate court of said County, November 1889 Estate of CYNTHIA WILLBURN, deceased, land sale.

Mr. M. MARSDEN traded last Friday for what he supposed to be a good horse, but the animal died on Saturday. 

The party, who took my bridle reins and throat latch, will much oblige by returning same. 

E. B. MAUPIN

Mrs. P. R. HAVERSTICK, of near Victoria, died last Friday of Puerpal fever.  She leaves a husband and several children to mourn her loss.   
 
A man named SALZMANN was put in jail last week, to serve out the balance of a fine against him, imposed on him a year ago September.
 
James N. WHITEHEAD Post G. A. R. of Victoria installed a new act of officers last Saturday night, and had a grand supper and a good time generally.

Beware of imitations in Dr. HOFFMAN'S Family medicine.  F. TRAUDT'S are the only genuine. 
 
The verdict in the case against James WILLIAMS, wherein he was fined $50 for attempting an assault on a girl, was confirmed last week by the court of appeals.

Dr. FARRAR'S only child, a very bright little girl of six years, was reported as dangerously ill with pneumonia Tuesday night. We hope she is out of danger by this time.

Little Roscoe BRYAN had a birthday party last Saturday, but on account of the mud and general bad health, but few of the little ones were able to attend.  He must try it again next year.

Mrs. Clay MOSS of Sandy, died last Friday, after a lingering illness of dropsy. She leaves three children, all boys; the youngest about four years old. The bereaved husband has our sympathy.

James J.  WILSON, Sr. has been fortunate enough to secure a re-rating of his pension and he drew last week  $109 in lump.  With it he paid off the mortgage on his house, and now feels much relieved.

Mr. Benjamin JENNINGS, brother of Mark C. JENNINGS, died at Festus on the 17th last quite aged.  We had but a limited acquaintance with him, but he was much esteemed by all who knew him.

Licensed to marry:
William M. CUMMINS  and Mary  K. WILLIAMS
John  Peter AUBUCHON and Delia CRAIG
John M. GAINES and Mary D. McCORMACK
George  FINK and Emma BERGNER

Judge Jos. J. WILLIAMS, as administrator, made sale of the personal effects of the late James S. WILLIAM last Friday.  Some articles sold very low, while others brought a good price. The sale bill amounted to $2,045.
 
D.M. PARK, of DeSoto announces his business in this paper.  Those desiring to buy or sell real estate will do well to call on Mr. PARK, as he is a reliable man to deal with and pushes everything put into his hands.
 
Frank BOUGHTON will furnish beef by the quarter, at 4 and 6 cents, two days notice being previously given him.
 
We notice that mining leases have been recorded from T.W. MUNSON, to Charles W. BUCHLER, and from John H. SCHNEEBERGER to William R SWAN.  The land lies  near the railroad, between Horine and Silica, and is to be prospected for coal and mineral. 
 
Taken up by A. CARROLL, in Joachim township, one brown or dark bay four year old horse, which if not called for, I will proceed to post before Charles G. WARNE, justice of the peace of Joachim township. 

James Watson MCCORMACK, who went from Plattin to California in 1852, has lately been heard from.  He is now at Lewiston, Idaho, from which point he lately wrote to B.C. BERRY. This is the first time anyone here has heard from him since 1873.  He is a brother of Hardy MCCORMACK of Plattin.
 
In this issue will be found the professional card of Joseph FLYNN. Mr. FLYNN is formerly of Ste. Genevieve, and was for years the Editor of the Fair Play. He is an intelligent, clever gentleman, and has located in Festus for the practice of his profession, the law. We commend him to those who need legal services.
 
MCGLEN, the man convicted of grand larceny, made a powerful appeal to the court for a new trial, but the judge informed him that he did not think another trial would result differently from the one already had, that the evidence in his judgment justified the verdict. He then passed sentence on the prisoner in accordance with the verdict of the jury, for three years in the pen.
 
Mrs. Martin HUSKEY and family were burned out of house and home last Friday night. The day had been comparatively warm, and there was but little fire kept. Mrs. Huskey was up sewing, till about ten o'clock, and there was no indication of danger, but after midnight, they were all awakened by the fire and smoke, and escaped only partly dressed. Two stoves and two feather beds were hastily thrown out, and that was about all that was saved. The origin of the fire is a mystery. There was no insurance, and the family are left in a bad plight. A subscription was started for them in town next morning, and sufficient raised for present emergencies.
 
We were informed Tuesday night, of a very sad occurrence at DeSoto, the report of it being as follows.  Mrs. EICHELBERGER, a daughter of Mr. W. H. WALKER, had been confined and a severe spell of sickness followed.  Her Aunt, Mrs. STEWART was assisting to nurse her. During a night she went to administer the medicine and though mistake gave the sick woman a dose of carbolic acid, from the effects of which she died.  This may not be strictly correct in all particulars, but Mrs. EICHELBERGER is dead, and we presume the other facts stated to be correct, or we would not give publicity to them. Of course no blame is attached to any one concerned.
 
We hear that Mrs. Henry NEINEMER of Morse's Mill was buried this week. She leaves a husband and some small children to mourn her death.

Henry BLAKE, for obtaining goods under false pretenses, was fined one dollar.
 
Paul SPITZ was acquitted of the charge of injuring property of John ZUFALL.
 
In a proceeding in County Court, on petition of John GALVIN and others for a public road through land of Catherine LAUMAN, commissioners awarded eighty dollars damages. Her attorneys were not satisfied with the amount awarded, and appealed to the Circuit Court. The jury, after long consideration, gave her the same amount awarded by the commissioners, throwing her in for the costs.

James HALLEY was convicted of common assault and fined $1.
 
Samuel MEDLEY, the boy who killed his cousin, was found guilty of manslaughter in 4th degree and sentenced to six months in jail. The great disparity in the ages and sizes of the prisoner and the deceased, the prisoner being but a little boy and the one killed nearly 21 years of age and over six feet in height, and the cutting having been done in a fight, led the public to conclude that the plea of self defense would be accepted as sufficient and the prisoner acquitted, but it was shown that Sam is a bad boy and that he engaged in the fight willingly.
 
Louis NOCE was made a citizen of the U.S.
 
Ella L. EHRICHS et al, partition, Isaac S. BAKER, Chris FUNK, and J. Ed WAGGENER were appointed commissioners to divide the land.

Harry REYNOLDS, a young man from DeSoto, has got himself in jail, and is in a good way to go up higher. He is charged with seduction under promise of marriage. If he can give an approved bond of $1000 he will be released till next term.
 
D.F. MCKEE and J. H. HAZZARD plead guilty to having been in a game for a cow and each were fined $5.
 
George and Lewis ROHLFING were convicted of maintaining a nuisance, and fined $5. They are butchers, and the nuisance complained of is their slaughter house.
 
August SEYPOHLTOWSKI and his daughter, Lizzie, were tried for assault   on Lawrence LAUTENFELD .  It seems that Miss. Lizzie was engaged to one John STEINMANN, to who LAUTENFELD  carried some reports derogatory to her character.  Passing by Mr. S's shortly afterwards. Mr. S called to his daughter to bring the gun.  She brought it and LAUTENFELD  ran; she followed him some distance and fired the pistol, once she says, up in the air. The jury cleared them both.  Charles MCNULTY and John   STEINMANN, two of the witnesses, got drunk before they were called into court, and the judge sent them to jail to sober up.

Some time ago John WILCOX and his son Smith, who ran a ferry near Rush Tower, found a darkey in the night on one of their boats. They got their guns and ordered him away, and as he came towards them Smith shot him in the face with a load of bird-shot, which put out one of his eyes. Both the Wilcoxes were tried at this term, the old gentleman acquitted and the young man found guilty and fined $100.
 
Lewis OGLE and J. BRADFORD plead guilty to gaming and were fined $5 each.
 
H. ZERMAN and Wm. S. FRENCH were made citizens of the U.S.
 
Grand Jury Report:
We the undersigned committee of grand jurymen beg leave to report: That we visited the County Poor Farm and Insane Asylum, and we found that the inmates of the insane department were not provided with fire to heat the rooms sufficient to enable the inmates to live in any manner comfortable, or keep themselves from suffering from the cold. We found the bed clothing insufficient and filthy. We found that the insane were not sufficiently clothed. We found the building in need of repairs; the walls of the insane department were open in many places, thereby causing much distress to the unfortunate insane. We found the stoves in the several houses were much worn, and we suggest that the stoves be replaced and more precaution taken against fire. And we call special attention to the stove pipes, that they are in reach of the unfortunate insane paupers, and should be made more secure. We found that the fence around the insane building is in dilapidated condition, and we suggest that it be repaired. We had no means of ascertaining the quality or quantity of the food provided for the inmates. The paupers did not complain very seriously when questioned on the subject.

Zion Items:
First let me introduce Zion to any reader who does not know where and what Zion is - I mean this earthly Zion. It is a pleasant and intelligent neighborhood, thickly settled. We have here the Zion church, the Zion Sunday School, the Zion Public School, and the Zion Farmer's and Laborer's Union. Rev. O.W. ROSE of Festus, has an appointment to preach here at 3 p.m. every Sabbath. Mr. R.G. MORGAN is president of the F.A.L. Union, which meets at the school house on alternate Friday nights. The church and school building are about two hundred and fifty yards apart, situated on the old St. Louis, Hillsboro, and Potosi state road, about four miles west of Horine, six miles east of Hillsboro, and three miles north of Hematite. Before the present term began, the school house was newly floored and furnished with new patent oak desks, which are very durable. Our second school month ended January 7th. The number of pupils enrolled for that month was 47; the average daily attendance 36. Those pupils whose average scholarship attained to and exceeded 90 percent on a scale of 100 are as follows: Hettie CALDWELL 96, Grace MARTIN 95, Laura GOODMAN 93, Rosa GOODMAN 90, Laura WHITEHEAD 90. This is the roll of honor. To attain this standard in school depends upon three principals namely; regular attendance, good deportment, and well prepared lessons. Most of the pupils are taking a live interest in the work.
 
Wedding bells echoed from the hilltops and resounded along the valley's of Zion on the eve of December 25th. The contracting parties were Mr. Lausen BOUGHTON and Miss Minnie JENNINGS.
 
Robert MORGAN Jr. has about recovered from a bout of pneumonia and an abscess under the right arm.
 
Prof. J.W. ALLEN of Hematite, organized a singing class here last week, but owing to the severe illness of his wife, he will not be able to give instructions for some time.

Died At DeSoto, December 20, 1889 of consumptions, Miss. Mary CRIPPIN, in the 23 year of her age.  She suffered for many years with this dreaded disease, but all her sufferings she bore with remarkable patience. She was a member of the Episcopal Church. She leaves a father and one sister to mourn her loss, besides many very warm friends.
