Alexander at the meeting of the trustees on Monday was elected treasure and will at once proceed to collect the subscriptions, and solict additional. They will build a church to cost about $2,500. A correspondent of the Osage County Democrat at this place a few weeks ago got things terribly mixed in relation to the two political demonstrations here. He should get a position as traveling man for some third rate circus, as his ability to draw the long bow would be just the thing. The concert given by the Lyndon folks at this place was fairly patronized by our people.

The performers were pupils of the music class of Mrs. Geyer. and their renditions were as good as the average music class. The concert was for the purposo of helping build a Methodist parsonage at Lyndon. The performance on the sidewalk during the concert last Saturday evenTing was not very creditable to our town.

Hooting, yelling, shouting, and demonstrations of that character never speak well for a town at any time, ani it 18 especially reprehensive when it interrupts and interferes with a concert or kindred entertainment. A good many of our citizens. think our city marshal could have used his authority to good advantage. The boys should not be so noisy.

A hurricane this afternoon capsized the boat at Stanley's landing. three miles above Henderson, turning her completely over. In going to Henderson with a barge and train containing the passengers of the Louisville Nashville railroad the boat separated from the barge.

All on the latter were saved, and all on the boat except four or five lost. Among those lost are Capt. Jno. Smith, E. C.

Brookfield, Ala. The bodies of three latter were found. The boat is a total loss.

$15,000 marine insurance. Henderson The telegraph broken and telephone to were down. The above telegram appearing in our daily papers of August 30th one would hardly think would be of any special interest to the people of thi section. Yet it proved of terrible import to a large circle of relatives and friends to two of these victims. Mrs.

Hattie Murry and baby was on her way to her home in Brierfield, and was accompanied by her niece, Miss Franc Morton, who was going south to spend the winter. They were all on board of the ill-fated boat and were among the list of vie- tims. Mr. J. G.

Murray, the husband. was waiting at Nashville, to join his wife and accompany her home. when he read of the disaster and started at once for the scene. His worst fears were realized. After recovery of the bodies he suarted with them for Osage City, the former home of himself and wite and the present residence of both fatnilies.

They arrived on Monday night and were buried on Tuesday at 3:00 p. the bodies all being consigned to the same grave. The people turned out en masse, and as a mark of respect and sympathy. the business houses closed their doors and the traffic of the. town was stopped.

during the funeral ceremonies. Mrs. Murray was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs A. S.

Sprague, of Osage City, and was always one of the most highly esteemed ladies of the town. Miss Franc Morton, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Morton. of near Olivet, was a very kind hearted and popular young lady wherever known.

She was a grand daughter of Mr. and Mrs Splague. The supper and entertainment given by the Post of the Grand Army of the Republic at this place yesterday evening, was well attended. The "rations" as served up enough were "fit for for a king," of and abundant an army thousand or so. Supper was served from six to half past eight, the entertainment part in Warner's Hall beginning about that time.

Want of time prevents more than g'ving the programme as carried out. PROGRAMME. Music by Drum Corps, Song, "Marching through Georgia," by Florence Morrison, THE GRAND ARMY SUPPER.

There was a re-nnion of the family of John M. Neal and Eliza Neal held at the homestead, three miles southeast of this place on last Saturday. The day was fair and about nine o'clock the boys began to drive in until it looked as though the house wouldn't hold any more. We then all retired to the grove where there was room all to witness the sight of the first assemblage of father, mother and nine grown children tor fourteen years. The occasion was one long to be remembered.

It may not seem to some to be of any gratitude to meet on such an occasion, yet when the days come that nine grown children, all in good health, can meet around their father's table and there behold the faces of father and mother who have for fourteen years longed and prayed that their children might all be at home once more. who could say that this was not a grand time; who could say there was not joy and comfort to father and mother and children? The day was spent in talking of the past and the prospects of the future. To give comfort and gratification to the parents we unanimously agreed to meet on the last day of August every year as long as our parents live. The following is a list of those present: John W. Near; E.

T. Neal and wife; R. T. Neal and wife; James Neal; D. B.

Neal and wife; J. E. Neal; George M. Neal; Cyntha A. Hunt and husband; Sarah T.

Zimm; And fifteen grand-children. By request of the family, I write the above. May God save us all to meet again. ROBERT T. NEAL.
