The County Court will meet the first Monday in February and the Jackson Probate Court will be in session the week following. The drummers who come to this city say we have the lest town in Southern Missouri.

Mr. Holm will leave in May and those wishing his services should engage hiia now. THURSDAY. Spanish street is in bad condition. It is full of holes and the mud is six inches deep.

But what was still more gratifying to him was meeting a num ber of old Normal students and hear ing of ethers yet to come. . ii .... : . . Resolutions of Respect.
