We suppose those pugnacious fellows whom he has been lauding so profusely, have betook themselves to Cuba to assist the Cubans in gaining their independence and that old Irishtown is once more the scene of consummate tranquility.

A half column of McKendree Chapel correspondence was omitted this week, owing to lack of space. It is good sutff and will be used next week.

EPILOGUE

We've done our best,

You all know the rest;

The wants are all written here

Of every one living near.

Some wants are noble,

Others are as ignoble,

Some show the sign of sense,

And others are close to nonsense.

The best are from minds more clear,

Others from minds grown sere;

But the intentions were the same

And all should be put in a frame.

In talking to the man in the moon,

The news you'd tell him very soon,

But unless published are not worth a darn,

So you should tell them to Latour DEVARN.

Our local informer is he,

A very shrewd fellow he be,

Just hint to him your need,

And he'll fix it up slick indeed.

To a resportership we aspire,

The well wishes of everyone we desire;

And to a far country indeed we'll go,

Pietermantzburg, Africk, is the one you know.

John BARTH went to Wayne county, Missouri, last week to look at some land. A party wants to trade him 140 acres for some city property. If a deal is made Mr BARTH will remove from this section of the country.

Harry BEATTY took a walk one day this week which we fear he did not enjoy. He purchased a round trip ticket at the office here and finished his business in time to return on the "Flyer". Soon after leaving Sandoval the conductor informed Mr BEATTY that the train did not stop at the platform at Shattuc, therefore he could not accept the pasteboard. Harry alighted from the cars about one mile this side of Sandoval and wearily turned his nose toward home. He knows just how many railroad ties there are between the two stations now.

The people who reside in Shattuc want a school house more conveniently located. The present building is situated one half mile south of town. Strenous efforts are being made to add another school to the district. A meeting was held last week and J T HOGAN_, Dr WILCOX and C W REEMSTEN were appointed as a committee to ascertain the proper course to pursue by obtaining legal advice. Messrs WILCOX and HOGAN visited Carlyle and had a talk with States Attorney FORD. In order to legalize the erection of a second building it will be necessary to submit the question at the coming school election, therfore the people will very likely have an

opportunity of voting for or against it. The school will probably be located in the east part of town if the proposition carries.

The post office will soon be in use at the depot. The improvements is being made by the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern company. The wooden concern will be replaced with cinders and crushed rock.

HOGAN Bros are now doing a rushing business. They made shipments of flour nearly every day.

It is rumored that a new store will be opened here in the near future.

A large number of the members of the Methodist Church here drove to Huey last Thursday and surprised Rev YINGST. A generous supply of eatables were taken along which were donated to the minister. A great big dinner followed, participated in by the visitors and host and hostess. Among those present from this place were Mr and Mrs P B ANDERSON, Peter JENSEN and wife, Mr and Mrs C PHILLIPS, Mrs TUNNICLIFFE and Mrs J R SMITH. The names of the other members of the party were not obtainable.

During the past few weeks cats have been in the habit of giving open air concerts in the vicinity of C W REEMSTEN, local manager of the J & St L Railway. Just like other members of the feline family the vocal training of these cats was neglected while they were young. For this reason the solos, duets, quartets and double quartets have not been highly appreciated by REEMSTEN. He has exhausted his supply of old shoes, tin cans, fruit jars and other munitions of cat warfare, therefore the use of firearms will be resorted to. Whenever a killing is made the cat wil be stripped of its overcoat by Ben CHAMBERS. The hide will be properly cured and stuffed. The collection will likely be placed on the second floor of the Junction House for exhibition.

Supervisor PRICE will no doubt be one of the most liberal patrons of that telephone line when it is built. It will be entirely unnecessary for him to attend the Board meeting at Carlyle. He can quietly set in the "Temple of Knowledge" with a receiver to his ear and vote "aye" or "nay" do the leading auditions, jolly Sam. JUST between times, draw $2 a day for the work and eat his meals at home.

In view of war with Spain we hope Uncle Sam will call on Tamalco for volunteers. Below is a list of those thirsting for Spanish gore:

C C DIXON will head the list as Brigadier General. T S SANDIFER as captain. Uncle Tony will go along to mix drinks for the boys. Frank EATON has offered his services and that of his two adopted sons. The oldest, Sir William, will do the barber act and Sir Edgar will spend his idle moments making mashes on Spanish ladies. Constable FORTIN offers his services. He thinks the boys need an officer of the law with them, but says he hates to part company with Uncle Jim.

H STEINKAMP says he will join them if they will make him commander of the company

A B SANDIFER would like to join the boys, but he has employment of the section this summer. C H SCHNEIDER will go along to repair the guns and bayonets. John OVERMAN and Henry GORLINE will go along to sack rabbits for the boys. John will hold the sack while Henry drives them in. Frank WILMIRTH will act as pilot on dark nights, for he says that hair of his is equal to any electric head light. John MOORE will go as drummer boy, for he is below the standard height. W E Taylor would join them but he thinks a married man should remain at home. E J BARCROFT will go along to act as best man during the battle. H C COKER wil build rafts for the boys to cross small streams on, and boot leg whiskey for Uncle Tony. Uncle Zadoc will go along and control the weather, thereby fulfilling his duties as ground hog.
