Local notices mix with literary pieces and public notices. Dr Crowe headlines a grand lecture in the Southeast with regional chatter about Twin Cities, local jabs at politicians, and a poem series. The column notes social incidents, a jail debate, and a tragic rail incident near DeSoto with George Couch unconscious and later dead.
A Baptist church service last Sunday evening saw a few young men misbehave and urged better conduct in the future. Stewards of Marble Hill circuit Methodist church plan a meeting with Rev J W Oliver at Hyhn's Chapel next Thursday.
Two men Robert Bean and Dink Portis fought in Fred Miles barber shop last Saturday night. They fled Marble Court for Laflin then returned to Lutesville where Deputy Marshal Billings served a warrant. They resisted, were jailed, escaped, recaptured, fined one dollar and costs each for disturbing the peace. Rumors accuse Marshal Virden of biased handling and he faces calls to resign.
Rev John Henley began a long pedestrian journey departing Monday noon for New Burnside eighty miles away, then plans a fifty mile leg to Kentucky as a delegate from the Whitewater Baptist association to attend two General Baptist meetings. He expects return November 18 and a further walk to Cape Girardeau finishing November 20. The piece notes a bivouac account of the French and Indian War.
