Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen from Kansas City drove down to Independence in carriages yesterday. Mr. Wm., SHERRY, Master Mechanic of the N.G.R.R., has been on a business trip to St. Louis. He returned home yesterday. A number of Independence boys will visit St. Louis this week, the session of the Supreme Lodge, K. of P., being the attraction. Mr. S. O. TODD, one of the most popular traveling men in this section, has been spending a few days in the city with his mother. Miss Nellie CHRISTOPHER, one of Warrensburg's most beautiful and accomplished young ladies, is in the city visiting Miss Nellie GREGG. Our schools, Woodland College, Independence Female College and the Public School, begin their next session September 13th. The Female College had advertised to begin on the 6th, but on account of continued hot weather has postponed its opening to the 13th. Miss Bennie EMBRY, one of Independence's most pleasant young ladies, who has been visiting relatives in Fayette, Mo., for several weeks, is expected home to-night. This accounts for the pleasant smile on the faces of --- well we will mention no names. Our young friend Dock PENDLETON, of Pendleton & Bro., left Friday last for Chicago, Ills., where he will buy a large stock of goods for their fall trade. As he does not expect to get to Chicago until to-morrow, it is supposed by some of the knowing ones that he does not go direct to that city. Messrs. Samuel T. WILSON, J. S. MOTT, W. A. McCLANAHAN and Jno. A. WESTMORELAND have returned from their Chicago trip. The other Independence boys, Messrs. SULLIVAN, SMARF, FLOURNEY, BONE, WOODSON and others are, we understand, taking a trip around the world, and no telling when they will reach home. Mr. James R. HICKMAN, Marshal of Pleasant Hill, came up on the Pacific yesterday. He was accompanied by Mr. C. R. WILMOTT, Constable of Pleasant Hill Township. They had warrants for the arrest of brothers who killed Henry STOKES and wounded his son and another man at Strasburg, six miles east of Pleasant Hill, Saturday night. ====================================================== (I have no connection with these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
