down the big hill, last Saturday, the neck yoke of the Victoria mail hack
broke. No further damage was done, but
Fritz was not in a good humor when he found, on returning from a neighboring
house with another neck yoke, that one of the horses had broke loose and gone
home.
The following
is the full text of the famous goose law of this State: “That in all counties and townships that have
adopted the provisions of article 2, chapter 3, of the R. S. of 1890, the owner
of domestic geese shall keep the same upon his own premises and in his own
enclosure, and if any such geese escape from the enclosure of the owner, they
may be dealt with the same as all other animals, as provided by said article.”
At the last
meeting of the Jefferson County Union the following transactions were had, which
have been furnished us by the secretary:
A resolution was passed denouncing sub-treasury and Government 20
percent. loan schemes; also one sustaining U. S.
HALL’s official actions throughout his term of office; and third, one opposing
Unions entering the Third or any other party.
R. A. FRAZIER was elected
This is
about the time of year when everybody begins to get ready to pay taxes. The rate of taxation has been very materially
reduced in this county, and we presume the taxpayers are glad of it; but if
each one will think about it seriously, we think that all will conclude that
they could well afford to pay a little higher rate if they were getting some
more of those bad roads made good. Improving
the roads is something that should never stop; but this year nearly nothing is
that line is being done, because of lack of funds.
We have
received contributions fro the State Sunday School
Association from the following-named schools:

There are
many others which ought to contribute, and if they intend doing so, we would be
glad to hear from them soon, so that the money can be forwarded at one
time. Jennie E. SWINE, Treasurer Jeff.
Frank
KENNER, of Festus, is not happy unless he occasionally pulls somebody’s
leg. Hardly had the voids in De Soto’s
sports’ pockets, occasioned some time ago by a foot race at Festus, been
filled, when Frank bethought himself of another scheme to “make change” with
some gentlemen, and this latter was a horse race. Last Saturday his little bay just ran away on
the race track at the
Judge HAMEL
is having a well bored on the hill, near his residence, in De Soto, and the
Facts suggests that, after he gets down to the depth he intends going, that the
city authorities got his consent to bore four or five hundred feet deeper, if
necessary to go that depth to get flowing water. The suggestion is a good one, and we hope to
see it carried out. A flowing well at
some convenient point on the hill would be of inestimable value to the whole
city, and all the business men along
Squirrels
have not been so plentiful in this county for over
twenty-five years as they are this Fall.
The wonder is where they came from, as they evidently have migrated from
somewhere. Large numbers of them are
being killed, as anybody who can shoot can get squirrels now. A party from
Suide theatrical troupe will be apt to

~Teachers’
Institute~
The meeting
of the teachers’ institute at House’s Springs, last
Saturday, was the most-largely attended that has been held in the county for
years. Nearly a . . . the teachers of
the northern part of the county were there, and there was also present a goodly
number of school directors and others interested . . . schools. In the afternoon the house was crowded. Profs. SCOTT and
DAVIS, and the Misses [KECS?], KLENN and RICHARDSON, accompanied by Master
Haywood SCOTT, were the delegation from De Soto, while from Hillsboro Mr.
VEAZEY was accompanied by the Misses OPES, SHEIBLE and MCMULLIN, and Miss
BRIERTON of Festus. The questions on the
program were discussed by Messrs. SCOTT, VEAZEY, DAVIS, CROWDER and others, and
Miss OPES read an interesting paper on “Prizes and Rewards”. She believes in encouraging the children and
favors prizes to a limited extent. The
good citizens of House’s Springs furnished the
teachers with dinner at their residences, and the delegation from this place
speak in high terms of the hospitality of Drs. GULBER and WILLIAMS. The institute closed at a reasonable hour in
the afternoon, to meet next at Festus on the third Saturday in November; but
some of the young folks had arranged for a party at Mr. HUMES’ residence that
night, and in consequence thereof the Hillsboro wagon did not get in till
nearly daylight Sunday morning, and some of the young ladies have been nearly
sick ever since with colds.
