Mrs.C.M. WILLIAMS and daughter May, who have been visiting at Tipton, Mo., during the Winter have returned home. The cooking club met at Miss Emma HAMMEL's last Thursday evening. The usual crowd attended. The principal amusement was progressive euchror. The first prizes were awarded to Miss Minnie DAY and Ben CONWAY, and the low or booby prize to Miss Winna THOMAS and W.F. EDINGER. At 10:30 supper was announced, which consisted of all the delicacies of the season. De Soto, March 22, 1886. Mr. BELL finished baling hay in this vicinity last week. He baled 300 bales for Smith DUTTON, 160 for W.S. McCORMACK. He moved into the Hematite neighborhood this week. We understand that his children have scarlet fever, but in a mild form. WEDNESDAY, 21 MARCH 1886 John SHELTON is in St. Louis, attending the United States Circuit court as petit juror. Our town is somewhat lonesome without him. Martin OGLE sold his farm, north of Hillsboro, to Millard F. HERRINGTON, and will start, the last of this week, for Texas county, Mo., where he expects to make his home. On the 23rd inst., there was a wedding in the Recorder's office. Charles COOMBS and Miss Sarah E. CRAWSHAW, both of Crystal, were the contracting parties and 'Squire MOCKBEE officiated. Licensed to Marry - Frederick GRIMM and Catharine HEIMBACH, John B. DELOOY(?) and Darley VAUGHN, Charles COMBS and Sarah E. CRAWSHAW, Gottleim R. BOLINE and Frances M. HUSKEY, Michael ROESCH and Anna G. YUNGERMANN. (My working copy was very dim and almost impossible to read.) The Mirror of last week tells of the death of Roxie McDANIEL, an old colored woman,who lived near Judge MADISON's. She fell on a pair of scissors, which penetrated between the fourth and fifth ribs, and caused almost instant death. W.J. HUSKEY lost two of his girls in one week, and didn't go into mourning either. Miss Idell was married on Sunday, the 21st inst., to George W. RUSSELL, and Miss Frances M., on the 25th, to Gottleib R. BOHNE. Rev. FRAZIER had the pleasure of uniting both couples. We congratulate the young people on their start in life and wish them success all the journey through. John A. RICHARDSON, photographer at Festus, died on the 20th instant, of pneumonia, aged nearly 48 years. Mr. R. was an old newspaper man and, since the Mirror started, had been connected, more or less with that office. He leaves a wife and two children. He was a prominent member of the Knights of Labor, and the assembly to which he belonged passed some tender resolutions in his memory. Last Wednesday William CLARK was burning some trash about his farm, when the fire got into the leaves along the fence, and it required several hours of hard work to save the fence from being destroyed. William DEER and Hermann SIEMERS lost several hundred panels of rails, by fire, the same day. Mr. KLEINSCHMIDT has had an addition to his family. A wee bit of a lass arrived at his house Thursday forenoon. Charles is not as happy as he should be, and all because the little one is not a boy, and can not become AttorneyGeneral. This is a mistaken idea, however; of the new addition attains the age of 17 years, she may be the means of giving a good lawyer to her father for a son, while a young man of 17 would be a poor pettifogger at best. Many of our readers will be glad to hear that our former fellow-citizen, Mr. H.H. HARLESS, still liveth, and that very likely on the fat of the land, judging from the business he is in. He is the editor of the Buckley (Iroqois county, Ill.) Inquirer, a large eight-column folio, and the "fat of the land" expression we use because of our personal experience in that line of business. Else where we publish an Obituary clipped from his paper, and the following we take from his locals: "Mr. Fred LANGHENNING, Sr., and wife and daughter, and Mr. Fred LANGHENNING, Jr., attended the funeral services of their daughter and sister, Mrs. LUHREEN." </HTML>

In the divorce case of Caroline STRICKLAND against James STRICKLAND, plaintiff was allowed $20 alimony, to be paid before May. John STEPHENSEN was found guilty of the charge of mayhem and sentenced to the penitentiary for twelve years. Last January STEPHENSEN attempted to drive Jacob DIEHLE off a tract of land DIEHLE had rented and shot him in the face with squirrel shot, putting out his eye, already being blind of one eye. STEPEHENSEN ------ ----- a great deal of trouble in the neighborhood, while DIEHLE has a wife and five small children. DIEHLE's family are in destitute circumstances, and he is unable to help them. Nearly everybody seems satisfied with the verdict, except Lawyer TATUM, who conducted the defence for all it was worth. (The paper was folded for storage, when microfilming was done part of the fold was copied, making it impossible to read what was in the lines.) Dr GUIBAR has another fine daughter at his house. Daniel BONACKER lost a great many fine hogs this Winter with cholera. March 13, 1886 DIED - HUSKEY - March 19, 1886, at St. Vincent's hospital, St. Louis, of cerebral apoplexy. Martin W. HUSKEY, aged 44 years and 10 months. Mr. HUSKEY was a son of D. L. HUSKY, Sr., and lived all his life near Hillsboro. He had been a member of the Baptist church fourteen years. His wife is a daughter of W.P. HAMRICK, Esq., and he leaves several children. He had been sick two or three months and was taken to St. Vincent's for treatment justa little over a week before he died. The relatives have our sympathy in their distress. DEATHS and BIRTHS - The following deaths were filed with the County Clerk the past week: Date Name Age Feb 25 James RYAN 4 1/2 months BIRTHS Date Name of Mother Sex Feb 16 Mrs. G.W.L. THOMPSON girl Feb 8 Mrs. Thomas Peter O'BRIEN boy Jan'y 2 Mrs. Frank SCHMIDT girl Jan'y 31 Mrs. Eif HAMERS boy March 2 Mrs. James F. DONNELL girl March 6 Mrs. William ROBERSON girl March 8 Mrs. Nelson SMITH boy March 12 Mrs. Edward McLEAN boy WEDNESDAY, 24 MARCH 1886 Willie CLARK cut a couple of his toes nearly off, one day last week, while chopping wood. Licensed to Wed - Adolphus F. FONTAN and Mary A. RUTLEDGE, George W. RUSSELL and Idell HUSKEY. Sheriff HURTGEN, with Willis WILLIAMS and R.A. MARSDEN, took STEPHENSEN, MARTIN and SHAW to the penitentiary, last week. Our friend Hermann STEMERS, thinks he is ten feet higher this week than last and all because a ten-pound girl arrived at his house Sunday morning. If each girl that arrived at our house had raised us ten feet we would be considerable taller than Lawyer KLEINSCHMIDT or Notary WALKER. Sheriff HURTGEN's absence the past five days was very mysterious, but it is explained now. He arrived Tuesday morning with Thomas MOSS, having captured him in Randolph county, Ark. MOSS is one of the three men, who are charged with the murder of Allan HENSLEY and Mack MARSDEN. The Sheriff saw a good deal of Arkansas while he was gone. He is retident as to how he learned where the accused parties were located. James MOSS and Alan MARSDEN, the two others indicated, he did not find. Some months ago a young man, probably 37 years of age, named William RICE, alias Buck RICE, came here from Erie county, Pennsylvania, and stopped with Mrs. GORDON, with whose relatives he was acquainted. He was a pretty shrewd looking fellow, with a pair of the sharpest eyes ever set in a man's head. It was known that RICE had a wife and three children in Pennsylvania, but it was presumed his absence from them was only temporary. One day last week he borrowed one of Mrs. GORDON's horses and rode off, and it was soon thereafter learned that he did not go alone, but was accompanied by Miss Dee McCREERY. They went to De Soto, turned the horse loose and boarded a train for St. Louis, since which time nothing has been heard of them here. Miss McCREERY is a daughter of Charles McCREERY, is of handsome face and well formed, and it is a pitty that she consented to throw herself away in such a manner. RICE is supposed to have but little, if any, means, and it is not likely that he will attempt to provide long for the unfortunate girl. Mrs. Thomas RAMEY of Head's Creek, came to Hillsboro last Saturday and swore out a warrant, before 'Squire SHEIBLE, charging her husband with feloniously assaulting her. She brought with her a stick, about the size of a hoop pole, with which she alleged was the instrument with which she had been assaulted. She also showed the 'Squire many varied bruises upon her face and body, which induced him to issue a warrant. Deputy Sheriff MUELLER went out last Monday, but found that the wife-beater had taken the team, during his wife's absence and drove into Franklin county. We congratulate our neighbors upon this acquisition. </HTML>

TIERNEY and Elias IMAN have gone to work at the Glencoe lime kiln in Franklin county. DEATHS AND BIRTHS - The following deaths were filed with the County Clerk the past week: Date Name Age Feb. 29 Elizabeth MAHLER 13 years Feb. 16 Amanda SHELTON 35 years Feb. 21 Cathrine GILLMAN 62 years Feb. 24 Charles W.

STAAT boy Phil LANHAM of St. Louis, the well known auctioneer came down last Thursday to attend his brother's funeral. Cornelius KING, a brakeman in the yard here, was run over by the cars on Tuesday, March 2nd. He died the following day. His remains were sent to Springfield, Mo., where his parents reside. WEDNESDAY, 1 MARCH 1886 Licensed to Wed - Joseph E. BLAKE and Sarah E. PREWETT, Charles A. PREWETT and Olive C. WHITWORTH. E.F. HONEY has had another spell of sickness, and his mind got so unsettled that it was thought best to take him to an asylum. His brother and Dr. BOOTH started with him to Fulton Wednesday evening. W.L. STONE's family have been having a siege of sickness. Their two little children have had a severe attack of scarlet fever, and he and his wife have both been sick. Monday evening they were all reported as improving, and we hope the worst is over with them. There were some big land trades on Big River last week. J.N. DOUGLAS sold his300 -acre farm to W.P. and John F. WILLIAMS for $5,000, and purchased of Dr. HARBISON for $4,200 the Madison GRAHAM farm near Morse's Mill, containing about 290 acres. We neglected to publish the fact that James MERSEAL offered ten dollars reward for the watch and chair stolen from him some time since at Festus. His initials are on the watch case and if the thief did not take it out of the county, some one may get to see it. Edward STEPEHENS and wife have again been called to "pass under the rod" in the loss of their little daughter Jessie, who died of pneumonia in Terrell, Texas, on the 11th of March, this being the third child they have buried in the short space of four years. May a loving Savior comfort and sustain them in this, their hour of affliction. We came near being eaten up blood raw last Wednesday. The paper was barely out when Charley YEAGER came in, with blood in his eyes and murder in his heart, demanding our authority of saying that the last addition to his family was a girl. We told him that Sheriff HURTGEN had been our authority, where upon Charley remarked that, although his boy was fully as large as the Sheriff, that official need not worry, as the youngster would not be a candidate for that office this Fall. We compromised the difficulty by taking a smile. On the 11th inst., Joseph E. BLAKE of Pevely and Mrs. Sarah E. PREWETT of Jones Creek were united in marriage, by 'Squire SHEIBLE, at VOLLMAR's Hotel. Mr. VOLLMAR, who wanted to see the 'Squire "lock up" two forms, rushed up to his parlor, then to the sitting room and, in fact, into every room from cellar to attic except the right one. While he was racing from room to room, the 'Squire quietly performed the marriage ceremony in the store. After the congratulations were over some refreshments were taken, whereupon Joe and his bride left for Uncle Tom OGLE's. The latter is the father of the bride, and the father-in-law of the groom, of course; but heretofore he was Joe's step-daddy-in law. We expect to hear of some tall charivaries before many days. Joe and his bride have our congratulations. Dr. GREVE is next in order. MARRIED - On the 8th of March Mr. J.E. BYRNE and Miss Fannie CLAFFEY were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, at St. Patrick's church at 10 o'clock. After the matrimonial services were over the happy couple repaired to the home of the bride's father. After receiving the best wishes of the host of guests present, there was a sumptuous repast prepared for them, at which all did good execution. We understand the presents were numerous and valuable, Dancing was begun at an early hour and indulged in till the bright Aurea glided the eastern continent. Music was furnished by Mr. D. WELLS, and consisted of first and second violin and harp. May your lives be ever happy; May your days be very long. Is the wish of Vex Miss Alice CHACE of Ironton is visiting her sister, Mrs. H.R. CHARLETON. Mrs. Addie HIRSCH of Baltimore, accompanied by her son, George, visited her sister, Mrs. H. HOHENTHAL, last week. KIMMSWICK - Theodore KIMM, our old and esteemed friend and the founder of our town, died in Switzerland on the 5th of February last. HOUSE'S SPRING - Old man DOLL living near House's Spring, died recently, upwards of 70 years old. </HTML>

DE SOTO - Otto HERMANN is building a three room brick, with basement, on Jefferson street, for J. McNULTY. William DUNLOP who has been at Eagle Rock, Idaho, for the past year, returned home last Saturday. He speaks of glowing terms of the West, and will return about April 1st. WEDNESDAY, 10 MARCH 1886 Thomas D.B. LANHAM, a brother of Judge Phil LANHAM of St. Louis, died on the 3rd inst, at residence of his daughter, Mrs. FREEMAN, near Vineland, aged 71. Willie F. LACK, son of Rev. Fred LACK, died at his home in St. Louis on the 3rd inst. aged 21 years. He had a great many acquaintances here, who will regret his early demise. And still they come -- girls at Charley YEAGER's. One arrived there Sunday. This, we believe, is the sixth girl that arrived at Charley -- the boys we are unable to arithmetic. LICENSED TO WED - James E. BYRNE and Fannie CLAFFERY, Henry P.G. BOEMLER and M. Dorothea BRUMMER, Tomas J. McEAVER and Maggie JONES, W.J. McCORNELL and Mary E. JOHNSON, Joseph H. HAMBLE and Phoebe C. TUCKER. There was a big wedding party at Jas. A. WILSON's, one evening last week, the occasion being the marriage of his youngest daughter to Mr. Dexter WILLIAMS.

James JOHNSON of Festus had a child buried at upper Plattin church on the 25th inst.; another scarlet fever victim. Miss Addie HINTON started for her home in Texas County, Mo., on the 21st. The entertainment given by her on the 12th was a success. All were well pleased as far as we can hear; if any were not, they had no right to complain, as the entertainment cost nothing. Miss HINTON became very much attached to the people here, some of whom did all they could to make her stay pleasant. Charley TINDALL, aged 10 years and 10 months, died on the 22nd inst., after suffering great agony for 24 hours with convulsions. He had been complaining for two or three weeks with something like neuralgia. It first came on his neck, moved to the arms and shoulders, then to the heart and face. His folks thought he was doing well under the treatment, Saturday night he again played with his brother and cousin about the fire. At 5 Sunday morning, he took convulsions and died Monday Morning at 9 o'clock. Hi has always been a stout boy and very industrious, his mother having died several years ago. His father was some times compelled to leave the boys alone for several days at a time, and on returning home he would always find Charley at his post, having done the cooking and washing during the father's absence. Several weeks ago Mr. T. married a good women and Charley thought he would now have a nice time, his step mother being very kind to him; but our blessed Father has taken him to a better home. Our prayer to God should be, that we all maybe subjects for the messenger of death as was the sweet innocent child. Mr. and Mrs. T. wish to return thanks to Dr. PRICHARD and the kind friends, who did all in their power to relieve the sufferings of poor Charley. Plattin, February 26, 1886 Peter MOORE of Dry Creek died last Sunday, aged 78 years, after a short illness of inflammation of bowels. Licensed to wed - Alonzo KYLE and Frances BUTLER, John H. WIDEMAN and Clara A. HUSKEY, Dexter WILLIAMS and Fannie WILSON. Last week Miss Grace SMITH had the remains of her mother, who was buried in the Hillsboro cemetery, taken up and removed to Bellefountaine cemetery, in St. Louis. Martin V. HUSKEY has been in bad health for some time, and during the past few weeks it was noticed that he was losing his mind. His folks took him to St. Vincent's asylum in St. Louis this week. It was reported here last week that John WILLIAMS, son of Jas. S. WILLIAMS of Big River, was down with small-pox, but we learn that the matter has been greatly exaggerated. He had an attack of chickenpox, but was not much sick. Mr. GARRISON and family, purchaser of the MATLOCK property in this place, arrived with their household goods last week, and are now installed in their new home. We welcome them as a valuable acquisition to our town. There was a party at Judge SECKMANN's on the 27th inst., being the birthday of Miss Viola, the Judges little and only daughter. Our informant didn't say how old Miss Viola is, but being personally acquainted with the young lady, we judge her to be just "sweet sixteen". We received a postal card from N.W. WELSH, notifying us to send his paper in future to Denison, Texas, instead of Sedalia, Mo. We suppose Massa WELSH had heard of the old adage, "a sitting hen never fattens," but is totally ignorant of the other tried and true maxim, "a rolling stone gathers no moss", We hope to see the "Nightengale" back here by Fall.

STONE, De Soto, Mo., February 27, 1886, John Harry, son of the late Frank N. and Mattie STONE, aged 5 years, of scaletina. Little Harry was early left an orphan and was afflicted with a weak spine, and his constitution was not strong enough to withstand even a slight attack of such a disease. He was a bright child, of very amiable disposition, and his early demise is a sad affliction to Grand-Mother STONE, with whom he lived. CIRCUIT COURT - The case against Jesse G. JOHNSTON, on charge of assault to rape, was dismissed. PROBATE COURT - James T. MOSS was appointed curator of the estate of A.K. HENSLEY, minor, and bond fixed at $1,000. John GALVIN was appointed guardian of Mary and James GALVIN, minors, and bond fixed at $1,000. </HTML>

Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's "Pearls" are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri Part II WEDNESDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 1886 Last Wednesday was a busy day for 'Squire SHEIBLE, besides being his pressday. He issued three State Warrants and took two bonds for appearance for trial; filed an attachment suit and took two acknowledgment; made out two chattel mortgages and married Ludwig RETTGER and Mrs. Sarah WILSON at the residence of J.N. DOUGLAS. The 'Squire won't object to a repetition of the doze to-day. George BRAUN, the shoemaker spoken of last week as having brought out Andrew RISCH, left here on Tuesday evening of last week, saying he was going to De Soto for his wife and would be back next day. He failed to return according to promise and then Mr. RISCH discovered that his roll of money, $52.75, and revolver were gone. On enquiring of the hack-driver he learned that BAUN had exhibited just such articles, and the fact that he robbed poor Andrew was then plain enough. A warrant was at once issued, but when the Constable got to De Soto BRAUN was gone. He was heard of in St. Louis but has not yet been captured. Andrew began to prepare to hold the stock of leather and tools the thief had brought with him, but Mrs. BRAUN came and took possession of the goods and took them to De Soto, and so Andrew gets nothing. We understand that BRAUN had purchased the goods on credit, with F.J. KNAPP as security. BRAUN is the same man who recently married the widow NEMNICH of De Soto. At a meeting of the Hematite Horse Protective Organization, held at Hematite, February 6, 1886, the following were elected as officers for the ensuing year: E.F. DONNELL, president; O.H. DONNELL, secretary; J.M. ENGLAND, treasurer; C.F. LEE, captain; L. STRICKLAND, first lieutenant; B.C. BERRY, second; F. HAERDER, H. ESHBAUGH and G.W. BYRD were appointed a committee to draft by-laws. There are at present thirty-one members - citizens of Plattin and Joachim townships. Meeting adjourned, subject to call. O.H. DONNELL, Sec'y. 'Squire MARX of Maxville has had quite a time of it lately. All of his children have been afflicted with measles, and when they got well the 'Squire had a turn of pneumonia and kidney disease, which laid him up for five weeks, and to cap the climax his wife was taken ill on the12th inst. She presented the 'Squire with boy No. 5. They are all doing well now and the 'Squire is not only ready, but really anxious for business. His Constable was the first to help him out. On the 17th, Martin Ed. SCHAEFNER and Miss Catharine BECKER were made man and wife by Esq. MARX. No cards, owing to the illness of Mr. SCHAEFNER's mother. The following story comes to us as reliable and, though the parties interested are trying to keep the matter quiet, it will probably be looked up by the next grand jury: The widow, Dilla HUSKEY of Big River, had a couple of mules, which she wished to sell. Thomas EOFF, her nephew, from somewhere in St. Louis county, came and bought the mules and took Mrs. HUSKEY's little boy along to take the mules home and bring back the money. They got to EOFF's all right and he fixed up and sealed an envelope, which he said contained the money, and started the boy home. The boy stopped at Pacific to stay all night, and the next morning his horse was gone and he had to foot it home. When he got home the envelope was opened and found to contain nothing but a blank piece of paper. Mrs. HUSKEY's first messenger returned without any information of the missing property, but her son, George, went and found both mules and horse together and, procurring assistance, took possession and brought them home. At least this is the way the matter has been related to us. The preliminary examination of Brad B. BYRD, on charge of assault upon Mrs. John KEVENS, was had last Saturday before 'Squires SHEIBLE and STONE. The testimony was considerably crosswise. Mrs. KEVENS swore positively that on the 27th day of January BYRD stopped at her house, on his way to Hillsboro, and forcibly outraged her. She told an apparently straight story, and created an impression favorable to her side of the case. BYRD, with equal apparent sincerity, swore that he had not seen or touched Mrs. KEVENS and was corroborated by two young men, Bob JOHNSON and Jim OGLE, who stated that they were out hunting that day and saw BYRD pass KEVEN's house and ride on; that he did not stop; that they were in sight of the house for half an hour, and would have seen BYRD if he had stopped. The Justices bound BYRD in a bond of $500 for his appearance to answer any indictment that may be found; but, unless the State brings further testimony, we predict that the case is finished. BYRD had KEVENS arrested for threatening to shoot him, but had 'Squire SHIBLE to dismiss the action after the preliminary was over. OBITUARY - DIED - February 16, 1886, John C.R.H., son of Susan and Henry BRIGGS, aged 7 years, 10 months and 9 days. Mr. and Mrs. BRIGGS have again been called upon to pass under the rod, and though they know their star is shinning brilliantly in the bright upper world, still it was hard to give him up. DIED - February 16, 1886, of consumption, at the residence of C. Tho. HORINE in Hillsboro, Amanda SHELTON, aged 35 years, daughter of John and Matilda SHELTON. About five years ago Miss SHELTON made a profession of faith and united with the Presbyterian church and her life has been a bright example of Christian fortitude and patience. She refrained her mind till the last and, as the end drew near, seemed to have visions of the glories awaiting her across the river. Death had no terrors for her, and while she had before seemed loth to leave her loving relatives, her only thought about them then was that they must meet her in heaven. Miss SHELTON had for several years been living with her sister and brother-in-law, Mrs. and Mrs. HORINE. She was buried on the 18th inst., in the Hillsboro cemetery. The funeral sermon, by Rev. S. FRAZIER, was very touching. Dr. P.G. KENNETT died last Friday afternoon, aged 34 years. His remains were taken to St. Louis on Monday by a delegation to Free Masons, and buried at the Bellefontaine cemetery. February 23, 1886.  </HTML>

Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's "Pearls" are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro,Jefferson county, Missouri WEDNESDAY, 17 FEBRUARY 1886 A.J. LUCKEY is now in his 54th year. While a young man he ran a blacksmith shop in Milwaukee, Wisc., and sharpened tools for the contractors, who were building the Milwaukee and Prairie Du Chien railroad, the first railroad built west of Lake Michigan. At an earlier date he worked on the building of the Ithica and Newego railroad, the second one built in the United States. As a memento of his blacksmithing days, he has his account book in which he charged for work, sharpening tools; and to remember the other by, he carries a stub finger, the end of it being mashed off while at work. Taking a glance at the railroad map of the present day, it seems almost incredible that men are now living, who are older than the oldest railroad; but such is the case. They had some fun, and not a little excitement at De Soto, one day last week. Miss LANE, one of the primary teachers in the public school, found it necessary to administer corporal punishment to Lawyer PARTIN's little girl. Mr. PARTIN went before 'Squire STONE and made an affidavit of assault and grievously battering and Miss LANE was arrested and taken before the 'Squire for trial. She secured the services of an attorney, but before the trial progressed far he got tired and had to rest, when John CUNNINGHAM volunteered to conduct the defence, and soon succeeded in securing the acquittal of his fair client. It appears that the child's insubordination was protracted and that she was encouraged in it by her father, and there was no evidence to show that she had been severely punished. We saw Miss LANE last Saturday. She is young and quite small, and we noticed nothing savage about her looks. Even her black eyes have an amiable expression. We shall have to decline securing her services as fighting editor or as bouncer in any department. OBITUARY - DIED - At his residence near Rush Tower, January 24, 1886, James M. BROOKS, aged 45 years, 10 months and 25 days. Mr. BROOKS was born February 29 '40, and was raised in this county. During life he engaged in farming. He always took a great interest in the welfare of his community, and was highly respected by all who knew him. In 1862 he was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Miss Mary AuBUCHON who accompanied him till 1878, when it pleased an all-wise God to call her to an eternal resting place. The result of their marriage was three children, who still survive. In 1875 he married Miss Angeline PILLIARD, who is now mourning his loss. the result of this union was one child. Mr. BROOKS was not a member of any church, but favored all religious denominations. During his confinement he was deeply convicted, and frequently expressed himself as ready to meet his Creator. While dying he exclaimed, "O! I am so easy, now I am going, and I want to go." In a short time he made an effort to speak, but the grim reaper, Death, had too near reaped his harvest, and in a few moments he breathed his last. His remains were deposited in the Lebanon cemetery on the 26th ult. Mr. A.J. GREEN, pastor of the M.E. Church, conducted the services. Quite a large concourse of friends and relatives followed his remains to their last resting place. WEDNESDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 1886 Big River Township - February 14, 1886 - Mr. Editor - I have spent many pleasant hours and gathered much useful information reading your valuable paper, and as you seem anxious for communications touching the general welfare of the county, I wish to contribute my mite. On a recent visit to Hillsboro I was agreeably surprised at the substantial improvement I noticed there in Joseph J. HOEKEN's new store house. It reflects great credit on my HOEKEN, as well as the workmen who did the work, and I was glad to see he was getting the custom which he deserves. Such a store and stock of general merchandise is an advantage to any town. Mr. LACKAMP appears to be a No. 1 carpenter and builder, and while in his shop I observed that he is also a skilled cabinetmaker. While admiring a piece of walnut furniture he was putting up, I was reminded of the high price that lumber commanded when I was in New York, and began to compare it with the waste of walnut timber I have seen in Iowa and Western Missouri. Even in this county I have seen such good walnut timber decaying and burnt as firewood or used as fence rails. Would it not be possible for people who have walnut timber to put it to a better use? My advice to such is to not waste or destroy it when it commands such a good price, with furniture makers. RUSTICUS. John LUCAS, while cutting a limb from a tree which he had hauled to his house for firewood, caught his ax on the clothes line and cut an ugly gash on his head. At this writing it is not certain whether his skull was cut through or a piece chipped off. Mary LEE has been in poor health for several weeks, but is now slowly recovering. KIMMSWICK - G. RAUSCHENBACH has been confined to his room with rheumatism, for the last three weeks. WEDNESDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 1886 LICENSED TO WED - Ludwig RETTGER and Mrs. Sarah WILSON, Charles SCHEFLING and Matilda NELSON, Adolph BRUSH and Mary CHATT. William A. JACKSON of Richland, Pulaski county, says times are hard out there but sends along money for the J.D. till January 1, 1888. Mrs. LYNEL's children, at Victoria, are down with scarlet fever. While the neighbors should see that the afflicted family does not suffer for want of attention, we hope they will act prudently and not give the disease a chance to spread. Samuel BRADFIELD and Thomas CAGEL were brought to jail, last week by Dep. Sheriff MUELLER, being furnished with passports by Esq. WARNE of Crystal City. BRADFIELD is charged with assaulting Abe RICHARDSON with a knife, and CAGEL with forcibly entering Edward MARK's house. The widow of John GILLMAN died, at her residence at Horine Station, on the 21st inst., aged about 60 years. On the 5th inst. she went to the well for a bucket of water and fell on the ice, hurting herself so that she was since confined to her room, though her injuries were not considered of serious nature at first. Her death is attributed to injuries received by the fall. </HTML>

Darlene, >From Historic Site of Jefferson County; "In 1872 a white pine Howe Truss Bridge, 76 feet long, was built over Sandy Creek. It was built on "old Lemay Ferry Road" by John Morse. Much of the original material was replaced when the bridge was rebuilt in 1887. In 1940 flooding damaged the timber piers and were replace with concrete ones."

MAYE boy WEDNESDAY, 17 FEBRUARY 1886 Gen. Winfield SCOTT HANCOCK, died on the 9th inst., at his home on Governor's Island, New York, after a short illness, with a carbuncle on his neck. Gen. HANCOCK had gained distinction both as a military man and statesman, and the universal verdict is that he earned every position to which he was promoted. He had the reputation of a perfect gentleman, and as he always performed whatever duty to which he was assigned, promptly, fearlessly and well, without interference with the duties of others, he was one of the few great men, whosegood qualities of head and heart were recognized and acknowledged in life, by opponents as well as by those with whom he acted. 'Squire WILLIAMS united in wedlock, on the 2d inst., at Victoria, James E. PATTON and Miss Fed HUSKEY, both of Jefferson county. After the ceremony a good supper was partaken of at MARSDEN's hotel, and several hours were enjoyably spent. We attended a meeting of Shekinah Masonic Lodge, last Saturday evening. There was a good attendance and Frank BRICKEY and William BUREN were 'raised'. The following births were filed during the week: January 20, to Mrs. Benjamin J. WATERS, a girl; January 9, to Mrs. Michael BRENNAN, a girl; January 13, Mrs. Kirt NULL, girl; January 27, Mrs. Mark PERRY, girl; February 1, Mrs. M.F. SPALDING, boy. Girls five to one. Dr. FARRAR reports the death, at De Soto on the 9th inst., of a girl named Emma BOSSMER; cause of death, child birth. The child was born dead. The other party to the transaction is not known, and probably holds his head as high as if he were an honorable man. On the 2nd instant, 'Squire McFARLAND married George W. COUCH and Miss Anna GRAHAM. After the ceremony a superb dinner was devoured, and general good time was had. As it is yet too early to indulge in a mush and sassafras diet, the 'Squire is happy in the acquisition of the coffee money. Mr. GARRISON, the gentleman who has recently bought the MATLOCK place, was here last week, making preparations for removing his family from Arkansas to the MATLOCK mansion. As this will likely necessitate of move on Judge ELKIN's part, and the new shoemaker also wants a residence for his family, there will be a demand for good dwellings - something that is scarce here at present. Hillsboro is just now experiencing a little boom, and unless some of the old tenements are put in decent repair, it would pay some of our monied men to build a few nice cottages. LICENSED TO WED - William BUCK and Clara LINVILLE, William P. SHEDRON and Isabelle LALUMENDER, Lee T. BROOKS and Laura A. BURNETT, Martin Ed. SCHAEFFNER and Catherine BECKER, Samuel T. WILSON and Susan E. JOHNSON, Joseph SHEDRON and Mary WICKERHAM, George MANESS and Serene E. MANESS. Nicholas EMS, whose will was probate last week, died on the 22nd of last month at the residence of his son-in-law in Carondelet, aged 95 years. He had been a resident of this county - near Maxville - for many years. His wife has been dead a long time and he made his home with his children. Last Friday, Sol LUTHER and Jack KEVANS of Plattin, came to Hillsboro and procured a warrant for the arrest of Brad BYRD, charging him with committing an out rageousassault on Mrs. KEVANS. Dep. Sheriff MUELLER went down Saturday after BYRD, but was a little too late. BYRD having sold out and left the country. On the9th inst. Judge SECKMANN officiated at a wedding and got a wetting by being the victim at an immersion. He united in marriage Andrew STOCKER and Mrs. Ernestina ROTH, after which he went to the Lemay Bridge, where Contractor SEBASTIAN was putting in some timbers to protect the middle pier from the ice, and while standing on the ice, making an examination of the pier, the ice suddenly gave way, and down went one-third of our County Court into fourteen feet of water. The Judge caught on the ice with his hands and kept from going under until assisted out, He had to ride to Maxville before he had a chance to warm, and then he slipped into some of Joe ZIPP's dry clothing. He staid in bed one day on account of his ducking, but is out again as lively as a cricket. </HTML>
