Crystal and Festus – Will none of our merchants take the initiating step to
have the plank walk to Crystal repaired, or will the business men wait until
somebody will be forced to sue the county for damages?

“In my extensive practice among women,” writes an eminent physician who has
made the study of female diseases a specialty, “never have a I found a female
tonic and regular so happily combined as in Dr. DROMGOOLE’S English female
Bitters.”
On Monday evening, April 28th?, the family of Rev. J. W. HARWOOD were somewhat
surprised by unusual sounds upon the porch, and a moment later were more
completely surprised to know that there were at the door representatives from
most every family in Hillsboro, who were well laden with the luxuries of life,
and whose hearts were pulsating with hope, joy and love. Thus they indicated
their appreciation of the ministry. Rev. George STEEL, of the Baptist church,
was chosen speaker, who in appropriate but short talk made the presentation,
which he spoke their kind intentions in thus presenting their gifts - tokens of
sympathy and high esteem of pastor and family. The donation was of much value,
consisting of table supplies (a very important factor of bodily happiness and
promoter of much contentment) to the amount of fifteen dollars worth and 75
cents cash. Mrs. REPPY and Miss McFARLAND took an active
part in getting up the donation, while almost all lent a helping hand in making
it a grand success, which fact all acknowledge. And as a token of our
appreciation we hereby publicly express our thanks and hearty appreciation of
same; and may we not hope that this event may be a door to future friendship
and cooperation in the work of the Master and in the interest of our humanity?
Wishing all a happy future, we are your servant, J. W. HARWOOD.

far as the program was concerned, but the weather put a damper on a large attendance.
Our Public school closed on the 2nd last. It was a very pleasant and profitable
term, and it was with some feeling of sadness that I parted with my school.
Grace MARTIN was awarded a beautiful book for best scholarship. She and her
sister Fay were the only pupils who did not miss a day. A number of the patrons
were present at the close. At the end of the first term we organized a school
literacy society, which was run by the children themselves. Most all placed on
duty by the program committee performed it. This is the kind of literary
society to have in connection with schools.

Our road overseer has graveled about one mile of our gravel road in the worst
places and made a good job of it, but lacks funds to go further. There are
places in the gravel road where Macadam is necessary, being cut through into
the yellow soil - no road-bed at all. There ought to be an appropriation made
from $300 to $500 to repair the worst places.
The people here are awaiting good weather, so as to be able to plough for corn,
there having been so much rain of late that the ground is unfit for
cultivation. We are also getting ready for the strawberry harvest, which will
be here in about two weeks, and there seems to be a good crop of them. The
wheat is fair, except on north hillsides, where it is badly frozen out.
There was a show in this town last week, which was followed up by a traveling
company of bears, goats and a big monkey. Joe PFEIL says the keeper put his
hand into the bear’s mouth, so he concluded he could do the same, and put his
hand in the bear’s mouth also. But, Lo! Mr. Bear closed down on his hand and
held it like a vice. Joe’s hand hurt badly for a couple of days, but he is glad
he got it back again. Maxville,

Health is improving in this locality. Our little town has taken quite a boom
since another hotel has been erected. Guess the proprietor will have to get a
cook next. As I was taking a pleasure ride, the other day, I heard a peculiar
noise at a distant. Upon investigation it proved to emanate from
two students just from college, who were practicing their first sermons on
horseback. Planting and ploughing for corn has been
the main object of farmers of late, but they are very much behind with their
work this Spring on account of the wet
season. Roads have been in a frightful condition the past six
months, but are now drying up fast. Henry HELDBRINK was elected roadoverseer in this district and a better man for the
business than he could not be found

William BORGWALD was buried at the Kimmswick cemetery last Monday

sermon was delivered by Mr. John OHEIM in German.
There were services at the Catholic and Presbyterian churches, last Sunday
morning. In the evening the Rev. Mr. McCOY,
a Methodist minister, who lived in this county many years ago, preached to a
large congregation.
Saturday was a lively day in Kimmswick. It seemed that everybody was in town,

noticed in town were Joseph Ten BROOK of Maxville, Col. O’FALLON of the

Saintly “Saburn” said, give me the post office
at Hematite and I will show the people what an imported
postmaster can do; and he has and is still showing, week after week, not only
by giving out the wrong mail, but by other acts, still worse, by going out
and leaving the office alone and unprotected, and to his shame, and by breaking
open mail other than his own. He asks why I don’t come up and show my face. His
memory is as short as his sight. Only last week I received Dr. ELDER’S
mail, and I returned it in person, in the presence of witnesses, and told his
lordship I was tired of sending or bringing back mail to the office, and if he
was going to establish a branch office at my house I would like to know it, so
I could be prepared to receive it. How is that for truth and voracity? He says
“those parties say they have no fault to find and
are satisfied." My God, why hast Thou forsaken him now? What is
the use of going over old ground or calling any more names? But come down to
business facts. I would like for some official,
who has the power to come down and go with me and investigate, and see who has
lied. That would end the controversy he has courted, and show to the people of
this county whether “Old Reb?” or this so called
postmaster has lied; and then let him step down and out, and go into the
chicken business or something else, and let some competent
Republican take his place.

they might be less expensive to the taxpayers than if they were at the poor

her husband both. The neighbors would help some if the county did something.
