Mrs. BELCHER, formerly a resident of this county but now of Moberly, Mo., was visiting at Mrs. Jas. T. MOSS', last week. Francis Edward - aged twelve years, to months and twenty-six days - son of Geo. and Mary NEAL, died at Moontown, on the 17th ult., of typhoid fever. LICENSED TO WED - Millard F. HERRINGTON and Mary E. BAKER, Marshall E. McMULLIN and Minnie REICHARD, William CRANE and Victoria BEQUETTE, Frank J. HENZLER and Mollie DUELING(?), Stephen L. AUBUCHON and Georgia A. COLE. We learn, through St. Louis papers, that Cornelius MARSDEN has been appointed postmaster at Victoria. this is the first change that has been made of officials in this county, by the new administration, and secured through the influence of Mr. CLARDY. Last Wednesday, at CLARK's Hotel, Mr. Marshall E. McMULLIN, and Miss Minnie REICHARD were united in marriage by Rev. S.W. EMORY. Marshall could have had a relative at his wedding if he had formed us of what was going on, but he was married and away before we knew it. We wish them well, all the same. The following births were filed with the County Clerk the past week: Date Name of Mother Sex September 25 Mrs. Patrick J. WALSH boy September 22 Mrs. C.W.

Demands were allowed against the county, as follows: Henry HURTGEN, feebill in case of Susan HALL versus county 76.85 John WILLIAMS, county judge 6.00 Henry SECKMANN, county judge 10.00 R.G. MADISON, county judge 10.00 Ed RASCH, for lumber, etc 6.75 F. GRIMM, for lumber 19.40 Henry STELBRINK, taking grand jury to County farm 4.00 MARRIED - CRANE - BEQUETTE - October 1, 1885, at CLARK's Hotel in Hillsboro, Mr. William CRANE and Miss Victoria BEQUETTE, Esq. SHEIBLE officiating. The contracting parties are both from Crystal City and have a host of friends. We extend to them our congratulations. HERRINGTON - BAKER - September 29th, 1885, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. Millard F. HERRINGTON and Miss Mary E. BAKER, daughter of John W. BAKER, Judge ELKINS officiating. Several friends were present to witness the nuptials of this worthy couple, and as the hours passed by until nearly 2p.m. without any wedding, they naturally grew restive and impatient; but "all's well that ends well." and the groom and Judge finally got there and the ceremony was concluded to the satisfaction of all. Millard will probably advise other young men, when preparing for such occasions, to give the tailor more time and not depend on getting the wedding suit the last day in the evening; however, we understand, he was willing to stand up on his old clothes rather than submit to a postponement. The Judge also learned a lesson from his dark ride through the rain and mud, and will start earlier next time his services are wanted on such an occasion. We congratulate Mr. and Mrs. HERRINGTON and wish them a long and happy life together. KIMMSWICK - Mr. DICKS and family moved to Carondelet, last Thursday; M.W. CLARK and family to Webster, and Mrs. Clem CROW and family to parts unknown. Miss Lena ZOGG, formerly of Kimmswick, was married several weeks ago, and now lives in St. Louis. Our friend, Stephen JACOBS, the village blacksmith, with fiery mane and flowing eyebrow, not long ago paid his brother in De Soto a visit. Mr. JACOB's brother is a flourishing hardware merchant in De Soto, and Stephen reports that the article of merchandise cooler and more refreshing there than he found it elsewhere. J.M. BRACEY, the urbane clerk at HOHENTHAL's has gone to Memphis for a bride, and will probably be here with her next week to reside permanently. It is also expected that Mr. AuBUCHON will be married this week, though he will not go so far from home to get her. Professor LUCKEY and John H. MORSE, Jr., have already secured partners, and it is rumored that there will be a grand reception by the four couple and their friends, at the Opera House in this city, as soon as they all return. WEDNESDAY, 14 OCTOBER 1885 On the 3rd inst., Col. W.H. McCOWAN, a prominent lawyer and politician of Piedmont, was shot and killed by Thomas E. FLYNN, a telegraph operator. McCOWAN was intoxicated and, when in that condition, he was very overbearing. The Coroner's jury brought in a verdict stating that FLYNN did the killing in self- defence. </HTML>
