Jefferson Democrat
Hillsboro, Jefferson County, Missouri
Part II
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1883
Isham SHELTON, son of William SHELTON, died at his home, near Hillsboro, last
Thursday, of consumption. He leaves a wife and children.
Judson POUNDS, who lives on the BARROW's farm on Big River, has killed three
large rattlesnakes, this summer. One as in the yard and one in the garden
near the house.
August 6, 1883, at the residence of John B. FARRAR, father of the bride, at
Victoria, Mo., Mr. Jacob PENSON and Miss Ida FARRAR were joined in marriage, by
'Squire T.A. WILLIAMS.
Mrs. HOWARD of Collinsville, Ill., has had a write of habeas corpus issued
for her daughter, Ellenora STALLINGS, aged 16, who is now living with her uncle,
A. STALLINGS, at Horine, The case will be tried at 'Squire GOFF's office, De
Soto, tomorrow.
The funeral sermon of the late James REID will be preached by Revs. Wm.
HENDRICKSON and J.T. McMULLIN, at Pleasant Grove schoolhouse, on the second Sunday
in September next, at 11 a.m.
Marriage license were granted to Geo. J. SCOTT and Eva F. McKEE, Wallis E.
SMITH and Hattie A. FISK, J.D. DENE and Sarah C. FOSTER, Erasmis DICKEMANN and
Adeline JONES, James F. LEE and Florence MEAD.
Miss Dora DUGAN, formerly of this county, met with a very serious accident,
one day last week, at Texarkana. She got a fall of seventy feet from a house,
and both arms were broken and she received many other injuries, from which it
is feared she may not recover.
The first case for violating the DOWNING law was tried before 'Squire HONEY
last week. A. TURK from Kimmswick, who has a wine and beer license, was
prosecuted for selling liquor. He was fined $40 and costs. We understand that the
informant is a saloonkeeper. We warned all interested that those, who paid
high license, would make it their business to watch for infringements on their
rights.
Fred. KOERNER of Sandy comes to Hillsboro every Thursday morning, before 7
o'clock, with butter for Joseph HOEKEN's store. We are told that the old
gentleman has not missed his regular day in five or six years - no matter whether
snow, rain or shine - save two or three times when sick. He averages eight
pounds a week, or 416 pounds per year, and as his butter is fresh and nice, Joe has
no trouble in selling the same at the highest market price.
Our young friend, L.T. KING, who formerly worked in this office and then went
to Kansas, seems to be prospering. Last week we received the Montevalle
(Mo.) STAR, with L.T. KING and W.P DAY as editors and publishers. It is a neat
six column paper, well gotten up and chockful of advertisements. Lloyd is an
honest and industrious young man, one who will make and retain friends wherever
he may go, and has our warmest wished for success in his new enterprise.
The Mrs. SMITH, whose husband was taken back to Ohio on some criminal charge,
and who, with her children, were taken from De Soto to our county poor farm,
became dissatisfied with her accommodations, last week, and took her children
and left. It is to be hoped that she has gone back to her home, and will stay
there.
A child of Mr. C. EGGERS was bitten last week, by a copperhead snake, which
lay hidden in a box in the cellar. Under the liberal use of whiskey and
ammonia, and by cauterizing the wound with pure carbolic acid, the child recovered.
Here again whiskey saved a person's life, as it has many times before. Cold
water is good in its place, but without whiskey we can not get along, and it is
not right to condem it all together. A. CRULL.
On the night of the 9th inst., Mr. Fedile ROGER's barn, with contents, was
destroyed by fire, evidently the work of an incendiary, though he does not know
that he has an enemy in the world. Mr. ROGERS lives on the rock road, between
Hillsboro and Antonia. He was in St. Louis at the time the fire occurred,
and there was no one at home but his mother and two little children. The fire
was discovered about 8 p.m. The barn contained about four tons of hay, a
reaper and other articles. Loss over $400, and insured for $200 in the Home of New
York.

C., wife of H.C. McCORMACK, aged 37 years, 7 months and 10 days.
She was a native of Jefferson county, Missouri, came to Lamar county,
Texas, in 1878, at which place she resided until her death. She leaves a
husband and six children, the oldest being about 18 years old. During her illness,
which lasted 14 months, she was often heard to remark, that she was not
afraid to die - that she was ready. Her remains were placed in the Union Grove
cemetery, on the 4th inst. A great many relatives and friends followed to her
last resting place. HER BROTHER.
