And now Dexter wants the Branch
Pen. The probability is that she will
continue to want it, along with the
Cape and Fredericktown.
The Piedmont Leader suggests the
formation of a Building and Loan As
sociation for Piedmont, Ironton and
Poplar Bluff. II is a good notion, and
we promise an undivided support to
the project.
Wall1 8 Argus, Cape Girardeau, is
busted, and the editor has flown to the
territory beyond the Mississippi. Some
bills contracted by him are unliquidat
eu, but he say he will pay up as soon
as he can raise the funds.
The watermelon business is not prof
itable this year, according to the Ben
ton Express. "Several loads of fine
melons have been sold recently (at
Cape Girardeau) at four to five cents
This will scarcely pay for the hauling."
The Farmington jail gives shelter to
thirteen prisoners eleven men and
two women. When time hangs heavy
on their hands, they get up a Sullivau
soiree for entertainment and refresh
ment. The jailor as master of ceremo
nies, calls a halt when the fun grows
too fast and furious.
Potosi Independent: "We under
stand a company of German capitalists
is negotiating for the purchase of the
Irondale property formerly owned by
Edwin Harrison & Co. We learn it is
the intention of the company to engage
in dairying and stock raising for which
the property is admirably adapted."
Two twelve-vear old boys at Dexter
have been apprehended for burglariz
ing and stealing. They succeeded in
obtaining S15 from the two stores that

serve the people of that section with
physic. Both boys were, after prelim
inary examination, held for the action
of the next grand jury of Stoddard
county.
It is not Mugwump or anti-Mug
wump; civil service or spoils; European
war or cholera no, none of these ques
tions interest our Jefferson county
neighbors. The question, first, last
and all the time, with them, is the re
moval of the county seat. And, from
nresent indications, they will fight it
out on that line for several summers
This Branch Pen. business, whatev

Turning Them Ont.
On of the business centres of the
country just now is a small room at
the southeast corner of the Post Office
Department building.in the city of "the
father of his country." Here at a desk
piled high with neatly filed documents
aitsf'nl. Stevenson, the successor of
Mr. Malcolm Hay as First Assistant
Postmaster-General It U one of the
nrinninal functions of this officer to
appoint the bulk of the 55,000 Post
masters of the country. A few hold
their commissions from the President
direct, but nine-tenths at least of all
the Postmasters are designated by the
First Assistant Postmaster-General,
hence that officer holds great patron
age at his disposal.
For several months, however, after
the Cleveland Administration came
into power the course of the depart
ment gave rise to doubts if this patron-
acre would be used in the interest of
the Democratic party. Mr. Hay was an
Invalid and much of the time was ab
sent from the office. The trouble,
however, was deeper than that. It
was said that the Administration op
posed the policy of wholesale changes,
and that it was necessary to show that
the Republican incumbents of office
had made an indecent use of their posi
tion, or were for some business reason
unfit, before a change could be made.
It was under these circumstances that
the phrase offensive partisan became
familiar and passed into a proverb.
Bat if such a policy dictated at one
time the coarse of the Administration,
It is not too much to say that it has
now been practically abandoned. Stat
ed broadly, it can be said that the 55,
000 Postmasters of the country are to
be chosen from among Democrats, be
cause they are Democrats, and ' the
present Republican incumbents are to
be removed because they are Bepubli
cans: and the changes are to be made
in deference to what is known as polit
ical influence. That such a policy un-
appeared very clearly from the work
of Col. Stevenson for the past few days
Beginning with a few score of ap
pointments, he speedily increased the
daily grist into the hundreds. Satur
day's list rose to 188; Monday's to 240,
and Tuesday's to equal figures. Here
was a practical proof that carried dis
may to those who expected that Presi
dent Cleveland would see to it that
Bepublican officeholders, even outside
the operation of the civil service rules,
were removed only for business reasons.
These Mugwumps explained the daily
volley of removals on the ground that
the President was hurrying up all nec
essary appointments before losing him
self in the woods. Another explana
tion was that the appointments were
largely to fill vacancies, in which cas
es it was to be expected that Demo
crats would be selected. But neither
of these explanations was satisfactory.
Col. Stevenson is not going fishing,
and an inspection of the lists shows
that the appointments are mainly in
place of men removed.
"My aim," said Col. Stevenson Tues
day, "is to fill the fourth-class Post
Offices with Democrats of high person
al character and business capacity,
who are vouched for by the local lead
ers of the party. These gentlemen are
responsible and respectable persons,
and their representations govern my
choice. In filling the offices I make it
understood that the men appointed
must accept tlu-ir duties as a public
trust, and that they must not turn the
office into a political headquarters or a
loafing centre, but conduct the busi
ness of the Government in an honest,
civil, and efficient manner."
Back Again!
Having spent the 27th and 2Sth of July
very pleasantly among the families of Messrs
Nelson Hawk and John McMahon, and hav
ing spent au afternoon and night with Mr
James Strickland, and another day and night
with the Henderson hovs, on the 30th the
return inarch began.
But before leaving the neighborhood
glance must be given to its sanitary condi
tion. '
Diarrhoea and chills were beginning to be
felt. In the evening their lines of fog could
be seen stealing out like flanking parties
along the creeks,cnarged with that indefina
ble something called Malarion.
Oyer on the est Fork of Black a man
named Johnson died of cholera a week or so
ago.
Theie is p.rcat reason to fear chills on th
heads of the Middle Fork and enteric fever
lower down.
On Clayton's creek lately there was "
fuss generally." A party speculated i
pork. His wife blowed on him and got
threshed for her pains. Her friends advised
an action for surety of the peace. She was
told she would have to swear that she was
afraid of him. But she ripped out that she
would be blankety blanked if she was afraid
of any blankety blanked man that ever lived
Your correspondent has known the lady for
years, and can certify that she fears nothing
that lives, moves or has a being. The mo
tion for an action of surety of the peace was
not a success but the speculator will in the
near future wrestle with the pork problem
before Squire Terry.
On the return trip a pleasant call was made
on Xelson Adams, Jr., who, along with his
wife had joined the shakers. After this
came a call on Elder John It. Adams and his
yery interesting family. Having heard that
Miss Ellen was going on a visit to Wright
county soon, your correspondent took the
privilege of an old friend to tender his verv
kindest wishes for her health, happiness and
safe return. In the meantime, several young
gentlemen will have to comfort themselves
as they may. Thursday night, Friday, and
Friday night were spent with Mr. Oesch,
near Edge Hill. A man who saw that farm
fifteen years ago would not know it now. On
Saturday a call was made at Esq. Luthy's to
read the Rkgistek. Saturday night was
spent with Mr. J. A. Griffith at Bachelor's
Hall. On Sabbath morning, having learned
that the funeral sermon of Mrs. Caroline
Trollinger and of her son, Mr. A. D. Troll-
inger, was to be preached, your correspond
ent went to the Bell schoolhouse. Here he
met a host of old friends. A well-dressed
and well-behaved congregation of about fifty
listened attentively to an appropriate,
straightforward, and very sensible sermon
by Elder Zenas Adams. Sermon was also
appointed for 3 o'clock, and between the
sermons an excellent lunch was set out,
enough for all. Your correspondent did not
wait for lunch or the second sermon.
That commuuity is in a chronic feud
A person who knows every one of them
can see more good in all of them than they
can see in each other. They should not per
mit a feeling of contention to set them against
each other. They should see that such a
state of things is against the welfare of all
concerned.
Monday was spent at Mr. Columbus Tin
dall's. He has a bright and pleasunt family,
but suffering for want of schooling.
While at Mr. Tiudall'syour correspondent
interviewed seven families of immigrants
from Story county, Iowa, going to Wayne
county. Mo. They are the right kind of peo
ple, and Wayne county is to be congratu
lated on their accession.

The Cowboy's Soliloquy.
All dity over the plains alone I ride.
Not eyen a dog to run by my side.
My fire I kindle from chips gathered round,
And boil my coffee without being ground.
Bread lacking leaven I bake in a pot,
And sleep on the ground for want of a cot.
I wash in a puddle and wipe on a sack,
And carry my wardrobe all on my back.
My ceiling the sky, my carpet the grass,
My music the lowing of herds as they pass ;
My books are the brooks, my sermons the
stones,
My parson the wolf on a pulpit of bones.
But then if my cooking ain't very complete,
Hygienists can't blame me for living to cat;
And where is the man who sleeps more
profound
Than the cow boy who stretches himself on
the ground?
My books teach me constancy ever to prize,
My sermons that small things I should not
despise.
My parson remarks from his pulpit of bone,
That the Lord favors them that look out for
their own.
Between love and me lies a gulf very wide,
And a luckier fellow may call her his bride;
But Cupid is always a friend to the bold,
And the best of his arrows are pointed with
gold.
Friends gently hint 1 am going to grief,
But men must make money and women have
beef.
Society bans me a savage and dodge,
And Masons would ball me out of their lodge
ir I'd hair on my chin, I might pass for a
goat
That bore all sin in ages remote.
But why this is thusly I don't understand,
For each of the patriarchs owned a big brand :
Abraham emigrated in search of a range;
When water got scarce he wanted a change;
Isaac had cattle in charge of Esau,
And Jacob herded cows for his father-in-law !
