Jefferson Democrat

FRIDAY, 30 APRIL 1880.

Judge Reed McCORMACK showed us thie week a bunch of wool twenty-three
inches in length, cut from a year old half bred Cotswald sheep of his
raising. The whole fleece weighted nine pounds.

The village of Houses Springs lost two good citizens last week, in the
persons of Dr. NULL and Mr. SEIVERS, blacksmith, both of whom sold out
and moved away. Dr. NULL is at present located at Hematite, but expects
to locate at Marshall, Mo., soon. SEIVERS is off on a visit to his
parents in Germany, and on his return expects to locate in Illinois.

We are informed by postal card of the death of our old friend Edward
DALY, secretary of the Missouri Glass Co., of St. Louis. Mr. DALY was
known to many of our oldest citizens as a prompt reliable business man,
forty years ago, and from the length of time he held the position of
Secretary of the Missouri Glass Co., we judge that he had not departed
from the correct habits of his youth. His name has been in our
subscription book so long that it is with sorrow that we erase it.

effect that was death was caused by excessive drinking and exposure to
hot sun. MARTIN had been working on the railroad section at this place
for the last eleven months. The last two weeks he had been on a spree,
and resumed work on the day he died.

Creek for interment.

Quite an exciting runaway took place on Main street, Sunday p.m. Mr.
CONNERS was riding out, driving his recent purchase, The Capt. DAVIS
sorrel horse. He had with him a little 4 year old daughter of Mr.
O'BRIEN. He stopped to call at Mr. BURROUGH's, and as he stepped out of
the buggy from some cause the horse started on a run north on Main
street. The little one got down in the bottom of the buggy and held
onto the dash. The horse ran towards its old home. Mr. CUNNINGHAM was
coming on horse back from Victoria, and when just the other side of the
ford on the gravel road he met the runaway. As they passed he saw the
little girl in the buggy, when he turned he started after them, soon
overtaking and stopping the. F.C. SMITH seeing the horse and buggy pass
the P.O, mounted his horse and was in close pursuit, when Mr. CUNNINGHAM
stopped them. the little girl was uninjured to any amount except the
scare, and not much of that.

FRIDAY, 7 MAY 1880.

pleasure, among other things preventing us attending the wedding of Hart
DONNELL and Miss JARVIS.

A grand party was given at the residence of Stephen HUG, near Crystal

of the city, officiated. Let it suffice to say that the affair was
grand in every respect. the music was furnished by the well known
