Either George ANDERSON of Fenton, has an extraordinary cow, or else Daniel BOWLES is an extraordinary fibber. We will give Danielís report of the cow and let our readers judge as to which is which: He says it is a small white cow; that in one month they made from her 42 1/4 pounds of butter, sold 15 3/4 gallons of milk, and during said month ANDERSON drank unskimmed milk three times a day and that the family made ice cream three times a week, all from this same cow, which was raising twin calves at the same time. F. HACKE, of De Soto, is making a specialty in the manufacture of farm wagons, which he sells at St. Louis prices. They are the best and lightest running wagons extant. Go see them and examine work and prices, and patronize a home institution. Every wagon guaranteed to give to give satisfaction. Mr. MAUDLE had a five-line local three times in this paper, asking for some one to take charge of the big boarding house. He writes us, ìplease discontinue the ìadî in your paper. I have even received applications from Memphis. So much to the credit of the J.D.í This paper circulates to some extent nearly in every State and Territory in the Union, send upwards of an hundred copies to the City of St. Louis, besides visiting over one thousand homes in this county weekly. Why shouldnít it be a good advertising medium? Our ìDAMPHOOLî of Crystal City and Festus failed to send in his quota of interesting items this week, and we began to think that the township had changed the ìCampholî into dam full; but learned subsequently that he was busy assisting Mr. LACHANCE in getting out the new paper at Festus. As Mr. LACHANCE is considerably ìunder the weather,î the readers and ourself will pardon the omission of the usually bright ìCrystal and Festusî column, as it is both just and proper to aid those in distress. ìAber es soil nicht loebr geschekon, da Kukhornî De Soto, Sep. 24 ñ Dear Editor, I see in your paper that the annual exhibition of colts, sired by the Percheron horse, ìBernard,î took place on the 20th. The notice did not give outsiders, who do not get the paper until Saturday, much chance. Now, I have one of his colts, which I will put side by side with the best one, but I had no chance to take it there. I think if the owners of the horse had dropped a postal card to their patrons they would not have been out much. Respectfully, C.H. SMITH. In justice to the owners of ìBernardî we will state that they had sent notice to us in due time, two weekís ahead of the time of the exhibition; but owing to a wreck on the railroad, their letter did not reach us till after we had gone to press and worked off the greater portion of the edition ñ Editor. H. SINGER, the Festus Milliner, makes this bold statement to the ladies of Jefferson county, and vicinity, via: In order to make business more like the waves of the ocean he is traversing, his stock of millinery, etc., will have to move accordingly. Prices no object. Millinery almost given away. Any person too poor to buy a hat will cheerfully give them one free. De Soto, Sept. 23 ñ Mr. Editor, allow me as an observer to chronicle and illustrate the following which will be of interest to the will be of interest to the readers of the J.D.; During the past week we have had a series of revival meetings, in he afternoon and evening, at the M.E. Church, in consequence of which a vast multitude of people from various denominations of the city and surrounding country were drawn, partly by curiosity and some by a desire to reap benefits throu penitence. The attraction so far has been beyond precedent of other revivals held at this church; over eighty persons have been converged since the revival began. The attendance has been phenomenal, so much so that at times some were turned away. A number of ladies and gentlemen have been converted with the joyful cries of ìCome to Jesus! ìAll hallelujah!î ìPraise to God!î etc. Our venerable Joseph BUTLER was among the number. The services are conducted by Rev. KUTH, assisted by Rev. CROW. Mr. KUTH is of tall, graceful appearance, and has a splendid voice (baritone); the singing is magnificent and of itself draws the masses. Friday night the services lasted as late as 2 a.m., which shows the great interest prevails. Saturday evening something out of the usual routine occurred; A prominent De Soto gent, filled with spirits of a different kind from that evoked at the meeting, made a remark reflecting on the chastity of the ladies engaged in the services, which aroused the ire of Dave HOPSON, JR., whose mother was present, and Daveís right arm was suddenly extended in the direction of the aforementioned gentís face. The result was that, while the gent was not sent to the mournerís bench, his eye suddenly went into deep mourning. Marahad BALLARD was soon on the scene and the offending individual was taken to where he could ìcatch onî to reflect on his conduct. It is proper to add that said individual felt keenly the magnitude of his offense, next morning, and promptly wrote an apology to the ministers. Several well-known saloonkeepers have attended the revival, apparently trying to become convenient, but as yet have failed to ìcatch on.î Incog.
