They want good paying oflices but they don't want to pay any of the incidental foes ucccs- sary fur campaign purposes. The fruit crop in Southeast Mis souri is not goml this vear. Tlic peach crop is small and we under Maud the apple crop is not what it usually is. Miss Sloan, daughter of t'apt. Charley Sloanof St I.ouis. is visiting Miss Mamie Filbrun in this city. There are several nice little resi dence buildings in the city for rent nud in (he course of auother month or two there will be several nice new buildings ready for tcnauts. In the Ifecorder's Court this morning two strangers were fined eight dollars and costs each for bein drunk and lighting ou the street. In default of payment they were locked up. Our lumber dealers seem to be cloiug a good business. This would indicate that.times arc not so hard as onie jieople think. Hon. I F. Klosterniann and .T. A.

The little colored boy who was fined fifteen dollars and costs iu the Recorder's Court last week gave the officers the slip Saturday aud made good his escape. He is however, not far away, but so long as he remains outside the city limits he will uot be molested. Seems to us that the city should adopt some plan whereby to get some work out of the law breakers who are conviolcd in the Recorder's Court. This way of workiug a mail two or three days aud then letting him go docs not pay the city and it is no punishment to the law breaker.

Mr. Mc Mastcr says we have the finest clay in the world for pressed brick. He is a practical man in the brick busiucss and he is willing to invest money licrc provided our business men will take some stock in a factory of that kind. We call the attention of the read ers of the Democrat to the adver tisement of Flentge & Wood which appears elsewhere in this issue.

Mr. Hoffmann is one of the owners of the Jackson saloou that had to close up becanse of the fact that the temperance cranks re fused to sign a petition to the County Court for a saloon license. Jackson is a h-H of a town. It is a town where the people arc so wicked that they only speak to each other when they absolutely hare to speik in their business transactions. Judge II. C. O'Bryau came up from Charleston yesterday and spent ast night in the city. The Judge is looking alter his interests politically, aud he was here to talk to the Cape county delegates to the Judicial con vention which will meet nt lilodgett I next Tuesday. He didn't s iy so. but we predict that if Judge O'ISryan is defeated in the convention he will follow the example set by the late Judge Foster, and go to preaching. A man with a good set of teeth. sound limbs and unlimited cheek is the man for the pulpit and we believe that Judge O'Bryau possesses ail these qualifications. WKHXESOAY. There will be a raising of a War ner Republican flag at (iordouville about the 20th of August. They arc making extensive (.reparations and a big time is anticipated.

A number of people possess what mar be called an aptitude for injury. Thev not only accept it at every turn and receive it at every pore, but actually seem to hunt it up aud lie in wail ior it. Nothing falls that does not hit them; nothing breaks that does not hurt them; nothing happens iu any way that they do not reap a golden harvest ot wrong lrom it. These people are miserable, as a matter ot course that goes without saying; but they would be utterly and hopelessly miserable if they could not at any m uncut scrape the subject of an injury together to solace some heavy hour despite ol other excite ment. Pupils of the Public Schools can exchange their old school books for the new Missouri Text Books at Osterloh's Book Store during the month of August. jy 16-1 111 The Iter. Arthur is quite an artist.

Editor Democrat: For the information and better understanding of the colored voters of Cape Girardeau and vicinity I, wish to correct, through the columns ot your paper, an error that has been circulated against me, relative to my action toward the establishing of a colored school in this district. I am informed that it is reported iu Cape Girardeau that my influence and advice to Mr. F. Ticdemann caused him to refuse to allow a colored school house to be built upon his land. Such is not the case. Mr. Ticdemann has never advised with me relative to the matter in any shape. I have beeu a school director for a number of years in District D, Town ship 15, and a number of times previous to the last election, I always voted to establish and locate a colored school, knowiug the law upon the subject it became my duty to do so, and at the last school election, a special one for the purpose, it was proposed and voted upon to turn over to the colored people our present white school house for the sole nsc of the colored pupils of our District. The house is a first-class, well built house, and all furnished seats, teachers desk, black board and charts all com-, pletc The house is too small to seat the white pupils at present. The idea for this action originated in me. We had repeatedly advertised and voted to establish a colored school and failed. It was then thought that by this means we could give our colored peoplo a good comfortable house, which is amply large for their every purpose.and could, without any difficulty, establish and build our selves a house which would be large euough to seat onr children. At this last election I rose in my scat and ex plained to them the full meaning of the object and its benefit to the color ed people. The colored patrons of the district were out in full force, only five white votes cast that day and every one of them cast for the colored proposition. The colored people voted down the proposition themselves, and to-day the proposi tion as voted on to build a house on F. Tiedemaun's land stands va.id and good. They made their own choice aud the law is plain in the rase. A proceedure to law condemns the land and then the District must build a bouse for them. I am a friend to education in every particular and to every one, white or black. I wish to be quoted correctly on this milter. Rcspoctfully, D. A. Nichols. Caaal Laaka.
