ISO. GABDNER ON PROHIBITION

From the Detroit Free Press.
Brother Gardner waited for a long
minute to allow Giveadam Jones to
ret over the effects of swallowing a
born button to cure m nvei tom
Dlaint. and for Elder Toots to get
through upsetting the water pail into
the shoes of several leading orators,
and then began :
'i has been axed if dis Lime-Kiln
Club proposes to bubport de new
prohibishun party, an' if we am
wwine to jine de citizens movement
formed to put down de liquor trafKck.
Gcm'len, de pollyticks of dis club
will be divided between de strict
pollvtickal parties. Prohibishun for
or asm, will not enter into our dis
cushuns. I should jist as soon think
of jinm' a party to compel all men to
become Methodists as one which pur
poses to compel all men to become
temperate. I hate de sight of whisky.
I keep cl'ar of saloons. A drunken
man is an objeck of disgust. Ah'
yit I look upon all temperance move
ments as so much time thrown away.
A sartin per cent of our populashun
am bound to have strong drink an
(ley will have it at any ost of money
or principle. Dis am a kentry in
which all encouragement am held
out fur men to lib sober, honest lives.
It's agin law, self-interest, morality
and common decency to be a drunk
ard.. De man who persists in gettin'
drunk knows all dis, an de fack dat he
persists in it am evidence "nuff dat
he ain't wuth de power to save him.
De man who has manhood in him
needs no savin'. He saves hissels."
"Heaps o' leers am bein shed ober
dis or dat unfortunate, as folks calls
'cm, an' dey am being coaxed advised
flattered an eben bribed into leadin'
sober lives. Don't you suppose dat
every man who drinks knows what
whisky leads to? Tt it am weekness
on his part, he will stay sober only as
long as somebody holds him up It
it am because he has no moral stand
ard, den de sooner he drinks hisself
into de graye de better for de rest of
US."
"If sartin Citizens want to band
together to fight de saloon bizness
let em band. No man wVio likes
bee r or whisky will drink cne drop de

Dar am not a boy in oui city to-day
10 y'ars old who doan' fully realize
de evils of drink. He knows it will
rob a man of his character dat it
bring poverty and degadation dat
it means sickness, rags, and a grave

lie realizes just as forcibly that sobiety
means hannmess. resnecabfhtv.

Let him choose. If he prefers the

am perteckly willin to let him go

timber, water power ami other re
sources as any other on the "lobe.
Not only do the people, living in this j
.section, need such a road, hut tnere
are several powerl ul corporations
whose interests would be materially
and profitably advanced by the com
pletion ot such an enterprise. We
notice that an effort is being made
by representatives of several railroad
companies, desiring a short route in
to St. Louis, to agree upon a route
that will accommodate all. The K.
C , Ft. Scott& Gulf, road has gone
to work in earnest and will, during
this year, build a branch of their roid
from La Cygne, Kas., to Clinton,
Mo. The-shortest, most practicable
and profitable route from the latter
point to St. Louis is through ttiis
county, via Versailles, on tbe survey
ot the St. Louis Emporia and Wes
tern, thence through Miller county
near Mount Pleasant and thence east
ward. We were informed by a gen
tleman here, this week, that the di
rectors of the bt. Louis, Emporia
and Western railroad company will,
as soon as possible, proceed with
their survey from the east line of this
county towards St. Louis. Our citi
zens did a good thing who subscrib
ed and paid to have the survey for
this road located as it .va.s. No mat
ter whether the road is built by the
St. L. , E. & W. Company or not.
The subscription was a good thing
for our town and county; and it will
ultimately be the most potent factor
m bringing the road, that is built,
though Versailles. That a road
will be built we have said Oefore, is
only a question of a few years at
most.
SHRTJBERY AND SHADE TREES.
The Times is in receipt ot two
most elegant lithographed invitation
cards from Robt. Peach, cadet at
West Point, to attend the last grand
ball and banquet prior to the young
army going into camp.
Mr. Cattcrliu, of the firm of Cat
terlin & Legg, has just had put up
in their cairiage factory a new side
bar buggy that beats anything
for easy riding. It is a new pattern
for this country.
The leap ear party given
by the l.ulies last Thursday was
very pleasant and successful affair.
Mrs. J. P. Willis prepared the re
freshments for the occasion which
reflected much credit upon her capa
bilities in tire culinary department.
If beef cattle become much
scarcer, stake will taste rather
rare to the boys. That is. they will
rarely ever taste it, as butchers have
advanced the prices of porter house
and loin steak to iS cts and round
and shoulder to 15 cts. per pound.
A piont ot law has been hanging
fire m tbe Supreme Court as to the
validity ot the indictment upon
which Geo. Cave (colored) was
tried and convicted of perjury during

been decided sustaining the legality

A Trunk L lie.
From the Versailles Gazette.
It is only a question ot time when
an east and wes trunk line of rail
road will be built through this sec
tion ot the State between the Mis
sour! and the Osage rivers, or more
correctly, through the section lying
between the Missouri Pacific and
Frisco roads. Tap roads are well
enough, but they do not supply bc
icmands of a section as rich in soil,
Ladies and Gextlemev: As
the same hand that has given us a
being has provided things in nature
by mans industry and economy
wheieby man may not only prolong
his days but make them pleasant.
Thcugh not in tiie garden wherein
he was placed but in a world of toil
and disapointment. "What is this
lite without a home," and what is
home without something to make it
pleasant, and what is more pleasant
than to have our yards and fields,
decorated with shade and ornament
al trees. While some of us make
our homes in the forrest and others
on the open prairie and for want ot
thought, with many of us who build
in the timber chop and elear away
ever forest tree leaving only the bar
ren earth to mark the place while
many who build on the prairie neg
lect to plant a tree ot any kind, eith
er forest or ornamental. But as the
fruit growing has been properly han
dled by men whose names are en
rolled in this society and who prac
tice what they preach, and as Mrs.
Henry will tell us of the beautiy of
flowers in her essay.
The importance of shade trees,
should, under no circumstance be
overlooked by the farmer, and where
there is a vacant spot where these
gifts of nature can be given a loca
tion it should be done. The trees can
be used for both utility and ornament
around farm dwelling, and they may
be planted near the borders of cattle
yards thus affording the shade for
domestic animals in warm weather.
In pastures trees can be set out in
groops tor a like purpose especially
when the fields are to remain in
grass. The cost is so unimportant that
there is no excuse for its omission by'
the farmer. The prettiest country
home is the one that is almost hidden
from view by foliage. This also is
applicable to town and viiage where
we have small yards and lots to
plant in evergreens, which are both
ornamental and healthful.
The kind to plant is, balsam of
fur, scotch pine, norway spruce, ar-bey-vita,
white pine, Irish Juniper,
cedar and the saven bush, which can
be grown by striking a line in the
ground : and if properly trained will
make a nice ornament for the yard.
The time to plant As the fruit
and forest trees shed their foliage in
autum.they should be planted in early
spring. The evergreen is diffe
rent from all others, as one
leaf drops off another takes their
place, thus always keeping them
green. The proper time to plant is
from the first of May to the first of
June, but the most importance in
transplanting is the taking them out
ot the nursery. Be sure you get all
ot the roots and all the earth vou can
get up with them, place them in a
tub or box where you can pack them
well with earth, plant shallow and if
your yard is low and wet plant on
top ot the ground by hilling them
up. Place some stones or brick
around the tree as it is their nature
to grow in sandy and rocky soil.
ADVIC E TO MOTHERS.
Are you disturbed at night and broken
or your rest by a sick child suffering and
crj ing with pain ot cutting teeth? It so,
send at once nnd get a bottle ot Mrs.
Winsiow's Soothing Svrup For Children
Teething. Its value is incalculable. It
will relieve the poor little sufferer imme
diately. Depend upon it, mothers, there
is no mistake about it. It cures dysen
tery and diarrhoea, regidates the stomach
and bowel, cures wind colic, sortens the
gums, reduces inflammation, and gives
