This was on the Iron County Mailing list, but it mentioned DeSoto so I thought I would send to Jefferson County to see if they recognized the names or wanted to know of the murder. Tx, Sharon This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: MehdiFakhar Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.iro n/2402/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Is anyone able to assist me in identifying what happened in this murder case? I would like to know what verdict the jury rendered and why. My suspicion is that William Heinrichs, not his wife Golda, was the person who killed John Clubb. -It makes little sense that William Heinrichs would spend all day/night in town to shop WITHOUT having any money. -The wife should have been hysterical, but always remained calm, evening sleeping in the room with a dead body. -The 'relic' rifle would be difficult to get out from under the bed, load (with an umbrella), aim & shoot while 'waiting' for John to get 2 feet from the bed. -If it was his intent, John Clubb would have had the time to assault her before she could have accomplished these actions since it was only a one room house. Thanks! -Kay, FL If anyone is researching this family, I have quite a bit of information I will be happy to share. The murder article(s) can be viewed at: CL_000346A CL_000346B Clubb John B. [Farmington Public Library Obituaries] John Club....was shot and instantly killed...by Mrs. Golda Heinrichs, aged 26, wife of William Heinrichs... She claimed that on the arrival of her husband, she struck a match and told him she had killed Club, before her husband reached the porch. That she then went to bed and left her husband sitting up. She went over to the Mellon home Thursday morning to ask them to telephone for the officers and undertaker. William Heinrichs, aged 35, the husband, testified that he had known Club for 15 years and had always been friendly with him and corroborated the story of his wife in almost every detail. He claimed to have spent the entire afternoon and evening in DeSoto, where he had gone to purchase supplies, although admitting to the prosecution that he had no money with which to buy same, and had hoped to 'grub' some food. He had walked, to and from his place in DeSoto a distance of 14 miles and with the exception of a ride he got from John Pettis of several miles, he had also walked home. He contradicted himself on some minor details but in the main the stories of husband and wife were identical. He stated that he had purchased the gun, which is a relic of the old ages, from 'Scoop' Leffert of Bonne Terre a year ago and that he had bought the shot in a Bonne Terre Hardware store. That he used paper wads with number four shot and used an old umbrella rod for ramrod. The trial lasted all forenoon and was adjourned until afternoon. Following were the jurors: Chas Weiner, Ebas Fowler, E.J. Cook, Wm. Fr - , J. Pearce and H. Thomas. The deceased is survived by one brother, who is believed to reside in the Lead Belt, but whose whereabouts was unknown at present time. Also one sister, Mrs. Ben Heineman of Kokomo, IN, survive the deceased. The latter had been a man who has sustained by the County Court a number of years and during the last five years had been a man of general work, who was employed by various local people for labor from time to time.

We understand that his Sulphur Springs millis now idle. Charles I. ROBERTSON of Victoria and Miss Huldqa J. POPE of De Soto, were married November 6th, by Probate Judge ELKINS, at his office in Hillsboro. Eddie VOLLMAR, who has been playing truant for about sixteen months, got back home last Sunday and intends to stay. There was much joy when he got home. Circuit court met yesterday for the purpose of trying Matt. QUINN for carving James EVANS, at De Soto, some time ago; but it is not likely the case will be tried, as the prosecuting witness is not comestable(?). LICENSED TO MARRY - John STEINS and Katie BURKHARD, Jacob PILLIARD and Lonida POSTON, H.M. BORNGESSER and Mary BERG, John R. MAXEY and Ida SWANEY, Charles L.ROBERTSON and Hulda J.

She was a sister to Probate Judge ELKINS, a resident of this city for many years, and well known and much esteemed by many friends here. She was only 18 years of age and died of consumption - De Soto WATCHMAN. Oury oung friend, Hermann SIEMERS, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony, one day last week, by a Priest in St. Louis. His bride is a young lady from St. Louis, and is intelligent, amiable and handsome. Her maiden name was Lena JOHNS. Last Saturday, the enfare took place at their residence, three miles from Hillsboro, which was enjoyed by some fifty of their friends. The J.D. was represented by 'Squire SHEIBLE, who did ample justice to the eatibles and drinkables but some of the ladies say that he is too modest and bashful for a successful reporter, and wondered how he ever mustered enough courage to ask a lady to be his wife. This has always been a mystery to the 'Squire too. The leading spirit of the evening was a sister of the groom, who never tired in entertaining those present, while Willie DEER had control of the refreshments. About 11 o'clock p.m., a splendid supper was devoured by the hungry company, shortly after which some began making preparations to go home, among the first was ye reporter. May Hermann and his wife always be as happy as they were last Saturday night. CRYSTAL and LIMITVILLE - John STEIN of De Soto was married, at the Catholic church, on the 6th inst., to Miss BURKHARD of St. Louis. Charles DEERE and Miss Nancy MOORE were married on the 2nd inst., by 'Squire WARNE. By the way, the 'Squire's wife left on the 4th and went to Texas for her health, by advice of Dr. McNUTT.

HUSKEY and Sarah E. CAMPBELL, John L. KAILERT and Sarah SCHWALBERT, Edgar ARMSTRONG and Alice OUTMAN, William SCHULTZ and Bertha GOLDHAMMER, Martin ZIMPFER and Louisa YERGER, L.M. SHAW and Stella BIGFORD, W.R. CANTWELL and Lilly KOBEL, Martin Frank BECKER and Mary BOER, Charles DEERY and Nancy MOORE, Thomas J. WILLIAMS and Emily WIDEMAN, Nicholas SCHUH and Mary Louisa HAMBEL, William R. PIERCE and Amanda E. HERRINGTON. Solomon BITTICK has an old sow that got smart enough to open gates by inserting her snout under the bottom and lifting them off the hinges. To circumvent her he nailed an old scythe to the bottom of a gate, and the sow didn't try her snout on it more than once, but she has a good chance now to laugh at her tormentor. One day last week, Mr. BITTICK's sister-in-law, Mrs. James WILLIAMS, came to visit his family, and the women, taking the horse into the lot, drew the gate onto one of his hind feet, and the scythe nearly cut the foot off. The horse has been in the hands of the doctor ever since. About fifty of Mr. Hermann HAMEL's friends and neighbors assembled at his residence, on Thursday evening. October 30th, it being the 25th anniversary of his marriage. Notwithstanding the request was made to bring no presents, a few articles of silver were sent by friends, among which was a silver-headed cane, of which Mr. H. is very proud, as it came from an old St. Louis friend. About 10 o'clock the company was invited down to supper, which was superb. Instrumental and vocal music was indulged in by those present. Three members of the De Soto quartette were present, but all missed the fourth voice, which has been silent for several years. The guests went home about 12.30, after wishing Mr. HAMEL and wife many more years of happy married life. Dogs have been having a protracted picnic on Dry Creek, and if effective measures are not taken to stop the fun, it looks like they will exterminate the sheep and geese in that neighborhood. The losses we have heard of so far as follows - David HALE, three sheep and eight geese; Phalen MANESS, seven sheep and seventeen geese; Wm. WILEY, eight sheep; George GRAHAM, eight geese, and Henry WOOD, all the sheep he had but two. Seven or eight dogs have been killed in the next neighborhood below, but still none have been caught at mischieft here. It is the first time we ever heard of dogs killing geese, and there are some people who think it is some other animal. Several have heard what they supposed to be a panther, and Thomas MANION saw an animal which he thought to be a lynx. It seems that 'Squire SHEIBLE is rather monopolizing the sugar and coffee money at present, and we expect an earnest protest from 'Squire McFARLAND in the near future. Last Wednesday SHEIBLE received a letter from Antonia, which contained a greenback and a request to procure a marriage license for Mr. Martin ZIMPFER and Mrs. Louisa YERGER. The fat man secured the license, after assuring the Deputy Recorder that the contracting parties were both of age, and in the afternoon left with Messrs. Charles YERGER, Charles KLEINSCHMIDT and Henry STELBRINK for Antonia, where a political meeting was to take place that night. None of our companions knew about the license and no one in Antonia. After handing Martin the document, he informed us that our services were wanted the following Sunday, and being told that we could not be there on that day, he concluded to at once put a stop to his bachelordom, if his partner was willing. After some consultation she agreed and, while over a hundred men were in the next house, eager to give Martin and his bride a rousing tin-pan serenade whenever they married, we pronounced them man and wife in her parlor. We learn that the marriage has not yet leaked out, and as we want the happy couple to receive all the benefits of matrimony, we publish this item, knowing full well that while Martin enjoys the charivari he will heap blessings upon our innocent head. We hope they will enjoy their new relations in life to their expectations, and may neverr egret the step they have just taken.

Genevieve county, Mo., October 7, 1884, Mr. Alexander S. JENNINGS. He was born in the State of Mississippi December 11, 1812, and moved to the Missouri in 1824. In 1832 he embraced religion, united with the Three Rivers Baptist church, and was baptized by Elder Joseph CUNDIFF the same year, and was chosen clerk of the church, which office he filled until his death. So, for half a century, he lived a Christian life, and by his exemplary walk and conversation showed to all around the power of religion to help bear life's burdens and discharge its duties. When death came it found him prepared to meet the summons and ready to enter into the rest prepared for those who love the Lord. His funeral sermon was preached by Elder Wm. McKAY, to a large concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors, the text being Hebrews 9, verses 27 and 28. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, by after this the judgment, so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation. October 20, 1884. McK.

ALLRED started on the 6th inst. for Paris, Texas, to attend his mothers funeral. Deceased was an old resident of this county, and was much respected by her neighbors. Mrs. REEDER. who was recently married at CLARK's hotel to John C. MARTIN, told Col. FLETCHER that Maj. Thomas HORINE had performed the nuptial ceremony, and that "he was the worst scared man Iever saw." The Major ought to have more nerve. Henry DUGAN, one of the oldest native citizens of this county, was buried in De Soto last Saturday. He died at the residence of his daughter, in Bismark, Mo. For several years he has been route mail agent on the Iron Mountain road, and was a faithful and honest officer. We presume he was upwards of sixty years of age. Mr. VOLLMAR received a letter last week from Jake BUCHER, stating that Eddie VOLLMAR, who left home over a year ago without saying anything to his folk, was at Poplar Bluff, Mo. Mr. VOLLMAR took the next train, but when he reached the Bluff the boy had gone. Evidently he has had no hard times on his wanderings as yet, or he would be working his way toward a good home, where relatives are anxious to see the prodigal once more. MARRIED - KEMPE - KENDRICK - At De Soto House, in De Soto, Mo., on October 7, 1884, by Judge John L. THOMAS, Mr. Randle KEMPE and Miss Melissa KENDRICK, all of Jefferson county.

WILLIAMS, wife and daughter; Mr. Wm. CLARK and lady, Mr. August SPILKER, Mrs. Charles HERCHER and her sons, Charles, Fred and Jacob.

Judge FLETCHER was one of the best-known citizens of this county. As merchant, Sheriff, Collector, Representative and Presiding Judge of our County court, and as an active and influential politician, whether in the field or not, he became one of the most prominent landmarks in the county, and at all times enjoyed the confidence of a host of friends and followers. In the late war he served a short time as private, First Lieutenant and Captain, and afterwards Major in the State militia. In October, 1868, he was married to Miss Mary A. LANDSDONNE of Jefferson City, and has since resided in De Soto, where he has been recognized as one of the leading spirits. The cause of his death was a carbuncle on his neck, which the best of medical aid could not cure or control. His funeral, on October 9th, was attended by a very large crowd, including nearly all the citizens of HIllsboro. Religious services were had at the residence by Rev. J.C. DOWNER. The Masonic Lodge, of which he was a member; then took charge of his remains and buried them with Masonic honors. The Post of the Grand Army of the Republic also attended as a guard of honor.

Like a new-born empire she is slowly and steadily moving forward. It is from here the Iron Mountain railway company saw fit to erect their great machine shops and here vast numbers of artisans are given employment the year round. The land that is occupied by the machine shops was donated by the people of De Soto. The shops are beautifully situated and add to the appearance of the town. A glance at the map of the State of Missouri reveals the fact that the town is situated in the center of the Mississippi valley. With a desire of obtaining a birds-eye view of the pretty little town of De Soto and the surrounding country, I ascended the hill overlooking the town. As far as the eye could reach, the thickly populated agricultural districts, rendered lovely by the soft, enchanting veil of distance and handsomely diversified with fine mineral lands and highly cultivated farms, presented a scene that might well inspire the pen of a poet or the pencil of an artist. E.C. RANKIN is one of the leading merchants of De Soto. His establishment is located in the upper end of Main St. The building is a handsome structure. The stock handled by this gentleman is one of general merchandise. Mr. RANKIN has been in business some fifteen years and his close attention to his business has gained him the respect and confidence of the people of this section of the county. In the field of politics, Mr. RANKIN has always been a consistent Republican, his party having honored him several times in their conventions. He is still a bachelor. His parents are both living and in excellent health. The RANKIN's are amount the oldest and highly respected people of the county and town. In anything that will enhance the interests of the town, you will always find Eugene to the front. OTTO HERMAN - Among the many citizens of De Soto, none can boast of more enterprise than can this gentleman. He is the only and leading brick-maker and building contractor in this section. Mr. HERMAN has been in De Soto for the past fifteen years and from the first year his business has been on the increase. His steam brick works are located in the northern part of the town and cover two acres. He makes machine brick and employes something like eighteen hands. The capacity of these works is twelve thousand to fifteen thousand daily. During the season he turns out from 1,000,000 to 1,200,000. He can point with pride to a number of buildings he has erected here that have improved the appearance of De Soto. He like, others of his townsmen, has held positions of trust. Mr. HERMAN is a public spirited citizen and one that is a credit to DeSoto. E.S. PYLE & Son - Not a stone's throw from the depot is the establishment of E.S. PYLE & Son, painters and paper hangers; also dealers in oils, paints, varnishes, glass, etc. The older member of the firm has been a resident of De Soto for twenty years back. It is only during the past few years that he and his son have been engaged in business but during that time they have built up a trade that would put shame to older houses. They carry a most complete stock of everything in their line - fancy as well as ordinary wall-paper. They are at all times prepared to fill orders. The people of the town and surrounding country have, but to call and give them orders to find I have not misrepresented E.C. PYLE & Son.

C.M.) September 15 Bertha BRUHN 5 years September 7 Ellen HUNT 83y, 10m, 1da (DOB 6 Nov 1800, calculated on PAF.) BIRTHS Date Name of mother Sex September 22 Mrs. Kirtus RICHARDSON boy September 21 Mrs. Frank SWOB boy August 29 Mrs. John WHITE boy August 18 Mrs. Charles M. TAYLOR girl August 19 Mrs. August LEUTZINGER boy WEDNESDAY, 8 OCTOBER 1884 Ettie, daughter of J.C. FOX of De Soto, has been very sick with typhoid fever. Sheriff WEAVER took Charles COLE, col'd, to Jefferson City, last Monday, to serve a term in the penitentiary. Mr. and Mrs. Martin JONES of near Hillsboro, buried their oldest child, a boy of seven years, last Wednesday. Licensed to wed - Gerhard POEPPER and Caroline SPITZ, A.L. ESHBAUGH and Carrie LEE, Randal KEMPI and Melissa KENDRICK, John C. MARTIN and V.C. REEDER. The wedding we spoke of last week will take place this evening at the residence of the bride's parents, in St. Louis. The bride is Miss Loretta HAESSEL and the lucky groom is Mr. J.L. BUSSEY. We have a cordial invitation, which will probably be accepted. (A former Hillsboro belle will marry an Englishman in St. Louis, this week. To be continued next week.) (This item was printed 1 October 1884) John C. MARTIN - now of Marshall, Texas, but formerly of De Soto - and Mrs. V.C. REEDER of the latter place, were united in wedlock, by 'Squire SHEIBLE, at CLARK's hotel, on Monday. This was the 'Squire's first effort in tying the matrimonial knot, and had about the same effect on him as has the first deer on the youthful hunter. Mrs. Ellen HUNT died at the residence of her son, Wilson P. HUNT, near Kimmswick, on the 7th of September, 1884, after a short illness. She was 83 years, 10 months and 1 day old; born in New Jersey, November 6, 1800, and came to Missouri in 1818 and resided here ever since. She was the mother of eleven children, grand-mother of forty-seven and great-grand-mother of forty-one. At the German Lutheran church on Sandy, on the 5th inst., Rev. Ernst LEHMANN united in marriage John W. KEISKER and Miss Emilia M. NEUMILLER of St. Louis, in the presence of many witnesses. After the ceremony the guests repaired to the residence of Mr. KEISKER, and partook of a sumptuous feast. Numerous presents adorned the center table, showing the wishes of their many friends are that success and happiness will follow them as they journey through life. Charles COLE, colored, was found guilty by the jury of attempting to rape Mrs. Lou FINLEY, a colored woman of Charleston. The judge fixed his punishment at two years in the penitentiary. DIED - WATERS - At Windsor Harbor, this county, Monday, September 29th, Mrs. Letitia WATERS, in the 84th year of her age. On Wednesday morning a large concourse of friends from different parts of the county assembled at the residence of her son, L.K. WATERS, from whence they followed her, borne by her old-time friends- Col. L.J. RANKIN, A.T. HARLOW, Wm. CLARK, Col. C.A. NEWCOMB, J.L. DUNKLIN, Skelt RICHARDSON, Col. John O'FALLON and N.B. HARLOW - to the Windsor Harbor Presbyterian church, where the funeral services were held, conducted by Rev. Lyman ALLEN, pastor of the Presbyterian church of De Soto and formerly pastor of Windsor Harbor church, of which she was a member. An hour of precious remembrances and consecration was spent and the large assembly, which had crowded the church, followed the remains to the WATERS cemetery, three miles from Kimmswick, where deceased was interred under a most beautiful covering of flowers, arranged tastefully in anchors, crosses, pillows, etc., tokens from her sorrowing and loving friends. "Grand-ma" WATERS was one of the oldest residents of Jefferson county. She was born in Philadelphia in 1801, moved to Jefferson Barracks in 1830, was married to Capt. WATERS in 1832 at Ft. Leavenworth, before it was a settlement, being compelled to come to Missouri to a magistrate to be married. She and her husband came to Jefferson county in 1838, and built the old homestead on the river bank. For 43 years a wife, mother and widow - her husband died in 1846 - she has lived in the same house. She was the mother of Lewis, Israel and Freeman WATERS, well-known and influential citizens of our county. We need not speak her praises. Her life has been before us as a great sacred influence. Those whom she helped and inspired by her noble words, her fine impulses, her consecration, her cheerful and patient endurance of suffering, and her grand active work for Christ , are legion. they remain with us, scattered thickly over this county, memorials of her whom we all call "Our Mother" God help us all to follow in her footsteps. The remembrance of such a spirit is a sacred shield against temptation, and are enobling and consecrating influences through out life. A FRIEND.

Thanks, Barbara, but I lived thur that war and am just interested in finding what units my loved ones served in. We didn't talk about their experiences when they came home.

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, 1 OCTOBER 1884 "WeisGott" MILLER, of near Maxville attacked and beat Mrs. Elizabeth DORNSELF, an old lady, 77 years of age. He was tried last Saturday, before 'Squire MARX, and sentenced to pay a fine of $25. He pretended to be too poor to pay the fine and was brought to jail. We understand he has property and he should receive no credit on his fine for the time he lays in jail. In the list of deaths published this week will be found the names of two, who had discounted the allotted three score and ten nearly another score. Mrs. Ellen HUNT lived at or near Kimmswick. We were not acquainted with her. Mr. Joshua HERRINGTON made his home, we believe, with his son-in-law, Louis JEUDE of Pevely. His long life was a useful one, and he enjoyed the respect of all who knew him. It has only been a few months since we met him in Hillsboro, and he appeared as active as he did twenty years ago. COUNTY COURT - Report of inquest by 'Squire WARNE over body of unknown man, approved and feebill of $11.45 allowed. Report of inquest, by 'Squire MOCKBEE, over body of unknown man. Approved and feebill of $15.66 allowed. Feebill of 'Squire DILLON, for inquest over body of Mary ENRIGHT, of $20 was allowed. Inquest by Coroner BREWSTER, on body of Wm. THOMPSON, was approved; balance in his hands of funds of deceased, $27.06, to be disbursed according to law. Inquest by 'Squire WARNE on body of Paul PRUNEAU was approved, and feebill paid by father of deceased. THE TEACHERS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY - Mr. JENNINGS, County School Commissioner, sends us for publication the following list of teachers of this county, with the present address of each.

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, 24 SEPTEMBER 1884 OLD ELIZA GONE - Elisha MANESS of near Frumet, lately lost a mare that, for her great age, is worthy of mention , as of the many thousands of horses, we believe, there are but few that live so many years. The old mare, Eliza, was known for many miles around. She would have been 33 years old this fall. Mr. MANESS owned her 31 years. She was broke to work at 2 years of age, and was an animal of great strength and endurance, having seen constant service. No doubt her great longevity was to some extent attributable to the stock in her, but perhaps more is due the good care and kind treatment she received from her master. Mr. MANESS now owns a fine stallion, a colt from this remarkable mare. A NEIGHBOR. P.S. - I heard mention that Mr. MANESS buried old Eliza, wide and deep, and swears that the first dog caught smelling around her resting place, will receive a bullet from his never-failing rifle. DEATHS and BIRTHS - The following deaths were reported the past week: Date Name Age September 8 Edward L. MANION 6 years August 16 Anna KAVANNAUGH 31 years August 35 I. TILLISON 2 months August 28 Hilliard(?) GAINES 27 years August 11 Savinna A. WRIGHT 4 years August 15 Margaret A. LUTHER 36 years BIRTHS DATE Name of Mother Sex June 16 Mrs. August ZIMMERMANN girl August 12 Mrs. James WALSH boy Augus t3 Mrs. George W. TUCKER boy August 19 Mrs. Levi WASHBURH boy August 17 Mrs. Theodore EHRICHS girl September 6 Mrs. James Theo. DONNELL boy WEDNESDAY, 1 OCTOBER 1884 Mrs. C. MARSDEN of Victoria has been confined to her room with sickness. John HUFF and Mrs. Mattie HOUSE, of De Soto, were united in marriage, on last Thursday. Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. A.L. FRECH buried their seven-year-old son. He died with typhoid fever. Harmon PEPPERS and Mrs. Clara HUSKEY, both of this county, took out marriage license at Potosi, last week. Last Thursday, Charlie, youngest child of Jude FLETCHER, was buried. The boy had been sick for some time. Mrs. Charles SWINGLER and Mrs. Albert McLEAN, of Springfield, Mo., are here on a visit to friends and relatives. Just as we go to press we learn that old Mother WATERS, of Kimmswick, is to be buried to-day. She was about 90 years of age. Emmet SCHWENK of Crystal City and Miss Lily DRUMHELLER were married, at the residence of the bride's parents, at Farmington, on the 17th inst. We just learned last week that William FLANNERY is paying the fine imposed on him by Judge THOMAS, by boarding at the people's expense in the county jail. We warn young ladies of Frank BROWN, as he is liable to make love to the wrong girl. He is color blind, and can't help it if he makes mistakes. Our opinion was called for, this week, as to the color of a piece of ribbon he sold for navy blue, and it was a dark green. LICENSES TO MARRY - A.J. PUTNAM and Marry V. CANTER, John KEISKER and Lena NEUMUELLER, Jesse H. MAUPIN and C.B. OGLE, Samuel WEASE and Mary HURT(?). A six-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas ARMSTRONG, of Meramec, was buried in the Hillsboro cemetery. This was their last child, they having two others buried here. EVANS, the man who had his throat cut by M. QUINN, died last Sunday. This will probably be the cause of a new indictment being found, and probably a postponement of the trial. Eugene AMOR has conveyed all his Hillsboro property to a trustee, for the rule an separate use of his wife. The last report from him was that he is a little better, and there was thought to be some chance for his recovery. In our report of the Circuit court proceedings we overlooked the fact that John PERADORE had been granted a divorce from his wife. If he talks business to any of the marriageable ladies now, they will know that he has a right to. Charlie BALDWIN of Little Muddy, Dakota, sent us two dollars for the J.D. and says: "Times are flourishing in this part of the country. Farmers say crops were never better, and stock men wear a smile that indicates plenty feed for another Winter. The Indians are farming some this year, the Government cut their rations short, and it is 'root hog or die' with them." Jesse MAUPIN and Miss Belle OGLE were united in marriage, last Sunday at the residence of the bride's parents, by Rev. Isham DODSON. The happy couple drove at once to Hillsboro, where they calculate to make their home. Sheriff WEAVER was the only guest from Hillsboro and it seems that he was only taken along to act as coachman for the return trip.
