We stopped late the recorder's office Tuesday just as Judge ELKINS was performing the marriage ceremony ..?.. George E. PERRY and Mattie E. REYNOLDS. They were a rather youthful couple, but appeared to realize the importance of the step they were taking. The were accompanied by Misses Cora HAVERSTICK and Minnie PERRY and Messrs. John SHORT and Ed SCHREIBER, and it looked very much like there was material for two more weddings in the near future. All were from DeSoto. Mr. PERRY informed us that he had a house for his bride, already furnished, which they would occupy at once, and that there would be a reception at their home that evening. I will sell my feed mill outfit for $650, or trade it for that amount of property in Festus, or a farm near there.

There is to be a ? grader contest in this county on the first Tuesday in May next. The place selected for the contest is a mile north of the court house on the road leading from the gravel road past the BOOTH place. It has been suggested that the citizens interested in that road should make ready for the contest by removing such trees and grass that may be in the way; for the work done will be of a permanent character, thoroughly grading and ditching the road as far as it goes, and the fewer impediments in the way the more road will be made. We believe it is the intention to buy a number of readi-grading machines after the contest is over, and there should be present representative men - interested in good roads - from all parts of the county. Notice - There will be a called meeting of the Grubville Stock Co. at their hall in Grubville, MO, March 19th, 1892 at 2 o'clock, p.m. for the purpose of transacting some special business. A full attendance of the stock-holders is desired. John S. McKAY, President. Mr. VEZZEY, having been appointed to the position by the Burlington railroad company, being placed in charge of the advertising department of said company, resigned his office as county school commissioner and also as principal of the Hillsboro school. The school directors hated to give him up and the pupils united in a petition to him to remain until the end of the term, but the fact was his wages here were not such as his abilities justify him obtaining, and he had a good offer it would not have been treating him right to have insisted on his staying. He left, Monday, for his new field, and carries with him the best wishes of the entire population of Jefferson County. His family will still remain here, so we expect to see him quite often. Last Friday, Mr. Henry BRADY, who lived about five miles north of Hillsboro, suddenly dropped dead from heart failure. He was 76 years, 11 months and 5 days old, but when we saw him last a few weeks ago he appeared to have the vigor and strength of a man of 60. We are informed that he had not complained or showed any symptoms of diseases until a few minutes before he died, and then his complaint was not such as to produce any idea of anything serious. Mr. BRADY was an old river man, but for the last twenty years or more had been living on a farm where he died. He was a man of more than average intelligence and information, but was quiet and unostentatious, attending strictly to this own business, and was generally liked by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, who is also quite aged. Mrs. BRADY has one son by a former marriage, W.K. VREELAND, who used to be well known around Hillsboro and Crystal City.

It appears that we have been slandering Judge MADISON's lost dog, by publishing her as slow; but it is not our fault as we gave the description as given us. The following is a full description as near as the Judge can give it from memory. Small black and tan hound bitch, 10 or 12 months old, bald faced, lashed of one eye white, possibly some white on neck and belly, and probably all feet white, end of tail white, marked with a small slit in one ear. The Judge considers her a valuable animal, as he purchased her as such, and is anxious to recover possession of her. He will pay liberally for information that will lead to her recovery. It is probably that she is in the possession of someone not many miles a way, and if so, on seeing this notice such person should at once take her home. For fear that he will not, everybody is requested to be on the lookout for her. ~Deaths and Births~ The following is a list of the deaths filed with the County clerk the past week: July 5, 1891 - Patrick Byrns, age --- Feb 24, 1892 ----Burkhardt, age 35 hours Births Date Mother's Name Sex Dec 31, Mrs. Fred MILLER, girl Feb 20, M?

HELTERBRAND, girl ~Take Notice~ Notice is hereby given to whom it may concern, that whereas one Joseph WEIDE obtained by fraud my note for $30.00 in a horse trade, the animal traded me belonging to Henry GUNTHER in Washington County, I have stopped payment on said note as it was obtained by fraud. The said Joseph WEIDE, (or WHITE in English), is a man of medium height, with blue eyes, rather wild in appearance, Iron grey hair and moustache, speaks very slow and speaks English very brokenly. He claims to be a doctor, and also a Pinkerton detective employed by the Pension Department, with Badge No. 11. Such is false, I having received a letter from that department with information to publish him as a fraud. W. J. JAHN, Valle Mines, March 11, 1892. ~KRORPP NEWS~ Sherman PALMER took a flying trip to Bonne Terre last Sunday. M. WILDS? of Festus, visited his father-in-law, C. KNORPP, last Sunday. ??nnie KNORPP, our post office clerk has been on the sick list the past week. Mr. JENKER went back to Festus Thursday and returned Saturday with his daughter Blance to A. KAUSLER's?, where they intend to remain awhile. A sad accident happened to Wes. KNORPP last Wednesday, while bowing some timber for a barn. The broad ax missed the timber and hit his feet, of which he cut the little toe entirely off, and also split the feet. It was much feared that the foot would have to be amputated, but the wound is improving very rapidly. Miss Lena KAUSLER visited her intimate friends the Misses KNORPP, last Thursday, March 18, 1892. ~ROCK CREEK~ As there have been no items from this place for quite a while, I will write a few lines to represent it. They will be such as people like to see and hear. Rock Creek is booming in every respect. There has been plenty of wet weather lately. Wheat has begun to look more natural since the late rains. Some of the farmers around here are preparing to sow oats, but owing to the wet weather they did by little. The F&L Union Store of this place is doing a flourishing business under the management of Frank W. DOHACK, Jr. August HEUDER/MENDER? is improving his farm by building a dwelling house on it. Effects of the grip remain in parts of this locality. John PINTNER, of near Rock Creek, has moved to Bear Creek. He bought a place there, where he intends to reside until he sees a better chance. Caspar KREPA?, who has been very sick for the past two months, is still bearing toward his eternal home. Mr. C. KROPS? has been an intelligent man in this neighborhood and the people will hate to lose such a man of their community. But they cannot conceal what God would reveal. March 4, 1892. ~Irondale Items~ Green Bean is still sick, otherwise health is pretty good. Mr. HEWESON, the Presbyterian minister, preached here last Sunday to an attentive congregation. Dr. PRIMROSE, the Evangelist, will commence a series of meetings April 1st, at this place. The public school closed the 2nd of this month. Mr. GARRET and Miss JORDON were the teachers. The same afternoon quite a crowd assembled at the residence of Mrs. HIGHLEY to witness the marriage of her sister, Miss Cinda JORDON to Mr. O.E. RADDATZ, of Utah, Rev. D.J. MARQUIS officiating. The bride look lovely in a dress of fawn colored Henrietta cloth. The groom was attired in the accustomed suit of black. They left on the following Monday for their western home. The little folks had a party at Mr. ARNOLD's on the afternoon of the 7th, in honor of his little granddaughter, Miss Ethel ARNOLD, it being her fifth birthday. She received several nice presents. After enjoying themselves as none but little ones can and partaking of the refreshments that Miss Ethel served they returned to their homes happy. And Miss Ethel, as the lovely opening rose, Each hour doth new beauties disclose, So may you, my little flowered fair, Reveal fresh beauties every year. March 10, 1892. Mrs. D.J. M. End of Column 4
