should have been: Three barrels or
lemonade at 5 cent per pint would bring
about 850. Col. Brown says that all
over the ffi went into the sinking fund

In tho early days of tho county the

These things soon bocamo a necessary

money, both gold and silver being Gcarco
then. Tho coonskiu nnd beeswax minors
of thatdav had not combined to demand
free coinnge and the war intervening
changed affairs to such an extent that
these primitivecoins soon became worth
less, and now tho silver miners have
taken up the matter.
Republican meetings in 18G0 and
1S90. The first Republican meeting held
in Holt county, Missouri, was held in
tho court house in 1800, and was ad
dressed by Col. Gardenhire. Tho aud
ience was small, composed then of more
Democrats than Republicans, and a Tew
days after a man that then was a Demo
afat and slave owner, was asked how he
liked Mr. Gardenhiro's speech, and his
scply was, "I liked it well and ono reason
was that 1 nave had some personal
iciiuamtanco with Mr. Gardenhire and
know him to be a tine man, nnd for that
reason 1 liked it,and if Mr. Gardenhire set
forth the true principles of the Republi
can party, those principles will govern
this nation lor tuty years to come; in
fact for all timo to come," and knowing
tho fe.v Republicans that were present
then, nnd contrasting them with the
number present Saturday, Aug. :!1, 1S'.K5,
in tho court house, it would seem that
the man's prophecy in 1S0 would be
fulfilled and tho Republicans would
govern this nation for years to come.
and so may is. lie. in mo meeting, oai
urday, Aug. 31, lS9ti, but one man was
noticed that was in the meeting thirty
six years ago. 1 Here may navo uoen
more than one, but a now generation nas

will guide us safely through this stormy

Tho absolutely sure way to vanquish

M. E. church are workers indeed. The

various ways to raise sufficient means to
furnish the church with lamps, carpet
and chairs, nnd they are seemingly as
proud of this tact, as u youngster would
be on getting his first pair of boots red

The presentation of the credit, the

We hear a good deal from the free
