SPARKS? lost? one of his fine grey horses?, Monday. The Grand Jury has just adjourned. It could have ???? ???? ????, but had trouble in getting witnesses. John MURPHY of East St. Louis, who spent his boyhood days in this county, was here this week visiting his old friends. Plows, Cultivators, Corn planters, Corn drills, Reapers and Mowers and other farming implements, all of ??? make and at lowest prices, at Henry HURTGEN’s, Hillsboro, Mo. Judge ???? McCORMICK had just returned from a two week visit to his home? of Birmingham, Alabama. He reports them well and thriving ?????ly.. For sale at a bargain [blurry] Francis McKEE is not only good looking, as the girls say, but he is also lucky. He has been squandering? some of his loose change in the Louisiana Lottery, and drew $200? this month. He also claims to have drawn $300? last month, but we did not see the “?????tials?” for that drawing. Buggies, phaetons, surreys, and every style of carriage, made to order on short notice, if not on hand, by F. HACKE. De Soto. Patent wheels and steel axles always kept on hand, so that repairs can be promptly made. Licensed to marry - Fritz O??? and Mary FACHS John F. STULKEN? and Anna WILLS Frederick WILLOWROCK and Lizzie STULKEN George F. ???? and Mary STUART? John P. NICHAN? and Mary K. C. CRAEMER? George B. BROWN and Anne HELTERBRAND Thomas N. MOORE and Lizzie B. WALLACE 25 Men Wanted! Wanted, 25 men to work in quarry on Hillsboro and Victoria gravel road. Apply to Jos. J. HOEKEN, Hillsboro, Mo. We understand that Henry BLUMENSTENGEL was very indignant, after his trial last Saturday, because “Drs. WYNE, MONROE, DEEER?” and others had testified that he was of unsound mind As an evidence of insanity, Mr. WYNN cited the fact that BLUMENSTENGLE once ran for Mayor of De Soto. 13 men wanted to work in clay mines, steady work at 1.25 to 1.40 per day. Also one or two men with small families. Address, L. MANDLE, Regina Mo. We have just learned that Thomas BLAKE?, who formerly resided in this county, is in jail in St. Louis, charged with murdering and robbing a man in Washington county, and that the evidence is quite strong against him. He is under indictment at Potosi, but kept in St. Louis as a more secure place. Those needing anything in the line of Saddlery, Harness, &c. are invited to call at my store, as I am making a change in my business and selling out everything at net cost. H. HAMEL, De Soto, Mo. When M???? ???ically asked, “Cause? ??? ???? is a ???? ??? ????” he ???? knew that mankind would one day be blessed with Ayer’s Sasaparilla. In purifying the blood, this powerful alternative ??? tone and strength to every functive and faculty of the system. Saddlery and Harness are now going at cost at H. HAMEL’S, De Soto, Mo. Those who need anything in that line should call soon and secure a bargain. We see no good reason why Hillsboro should not have a ????ing ??? and creamery too. There is a big ????? country surrounding the county seat, which is a ????? adapted to wheat calsing? and for meadow purposes it can not be beaten anywhere. Capital, too, is plentiful, and it is about time that our people do something for their home place instead of investing all their savings in adjacent cities or towns. Charity should begin at home. ‘Tis strange, ladies will go on month after month suffering from some female disorder, which one bottle of Dr. DROMGOOLE’s Female Bitters would speedily correct. From a private letter we learn that Mrs. John HOLMES?, late of this county, has been very sick in St. Louis, where she resides at present, and that she is now recovering. Miss Jennie is in Texas, where she is establishing a good reputation as teacher. Baren? is in ?ried and also follows teaching; Duane is in business and doing very well. During the remainder of this season Capt? W. H. WASHBURN will keep his horse, tow day in each week, at LEPP’s old stand, near COLE’s mill. Please take service. Parties contributing society ???? to this paper will please be careful in writing names, both of persons and things, especially in giving descriptions of dresses. There is nobody connected with this office, who could tell the difference between a lady dressed in the height of fashion and one not dressed at all, and as in the names and styles of dresses we are equally ignorant. We defy competition on our 5, 7, 10 and 15 dollar men’s sails in prices, quality and fabric. Give us a call before buying, which will be to your own interest, as a dollar saved is a dollar made. Square Deal Clothing House. Louis OGLE and William WEBER unite in a letter of thanks to Judge DINNING, the jury and their attorney, Joseph J. WILLIAMS, for the manner of trial and verdict in the case against OGLE, which was before the Circuit court last week, and in which the defendant was acquitted. The case came up on an appeal from ‘Squire ZOLLMAN, where OGLE was out one dollar. This mention will be sufficient.

Conductor Johnny NELSON?, who was recently shot in the hand, was in town Tuesday, on a visit to relations and looking after his landed interests here. Mr. BOHMLE?, who was also shot by a tramp about the same time, is reported on being out of danger. Mr NELSON talks of this town as a good place to start a creamery, and as Johnny has a fine farm near here, his talk will amount to something. F. HACKE, of De Soto, is making a speciality in the manufactur of farm wagons, which he sells at St. Louis prices. They are the best and lightest running wagons extant. Go see them and examine work and prices, and patronize a home institution. Every wagon guaranteed to give satisfaction. [new column]
