Jefferson Democrat
Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri

FRIDAY, 1 JUNE 1880.

Chas. D. REPPY, one of the founders of this paper, has lately started a
new paper at Hershaw, Arizona, called the Arizona BULLION. It is a
little five column, four page paper; subscription price $5.00 per year
or $3.00 for six months. The fourth number has been received by us, and
presents a healthy appearance. We wish Charley abundant success.

Sheriff JONES took his little girl, Cora to St. Louis last Tuesday to
get a wen extracted from her face. Dr. AUERSWALD accompanied him, and
as Dr HODGON was absent, Dr. AUERSWALD performed the surgical operation
himself, in the presence of Dr. MUDD, professor of anatomy in St. Louis
Medical college, and did the job neatly and quickly, and the little girl
is getting along finely.

Mr. Samuel BRADY ,whose untimely death we chronicled last week, was a
---- man, superintendent of his neighborhood Sunday-school, and always
among the foremost in promoting any good cause, and while his loss will
be felt by the community, his family is left in a bad condition. There
were depending on him, in addition to his wife and children, his aged
father and mother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. E.B. BECKETT, both of whom are
old and feeble, and Mr. BECKETT blind.

VICTORIA ITEMS - Victoria, Mo., May 26, 1880 - Mrs. SMITH, who has been
in England for the past two or three months, returned last week,
bringing with her several of her relatives.

Jas. F. CROSS returned from Red River on Monday morning last, and will
work in northern Arkansas during the summer months.

DE SOTO ITEMS -- by H.S. JENKS - De Soto, Mo., June 2, 1880 - MARRIED --
Mr. D.D. DESMOND of this place to Miss Annie DEBABAR(?) of South St.
Louis. The ceremony was celebrated by the Rev. Father UTINGTON on the
20th day of May, at St. Louis. After the ceremony the invited guests
were invited into the spacious dining-room, at the residence of the
bride's parents, where a magnificent colation had been prepared; after
which those who desired tipped the "light fantastic" to splendid music
until 5:30a.m. the next morning, when the party dispersed, all wishing
the happy couple a pleasant sail down life's stormy river. The gifts
were quite numerous and valuable.

Mr. SAUER, who has for a long time been in the employ of Mr. John KLENN,
died quite suddenly on Sunday, May 23d, in the 51st year of his age.

They have a new boy at Mr. G.W. JACKSON's.

MARRIED - DUGAN -- MANESS -- May 30th, 1880, by Geo. McFARLAND, Esq.,
John S. DUGAN to Miss Hepsa Melvina MANESS.

FRIDAY, 11 JUNE 1880.

John VAIL, a lunatic lately imported from New York, was picked up here
in pitiable condition and sent to the county farm.

"This is to certify that I know nothing derogatory or detrimental to the
character of B.F. ALLEN. John H.G. MEYER. May 26th, 1880."

There was a wedding near Pevely last Tuesday evening, between Mr.
SCHAEFFER and Miss Mary HOLDINGHOUSE. Some of the guests on their way
home, tried to pass each other in their wagons, and the result was a
collision, and two wagon loads of passengers spilled out. Not much
damage was done.

A young man named BALNER(?), clerk for FINK & NASSE, of St. Louis was
drowned in the mill pond at Patrick BYRNE's mill, last Saturday. He,
with several others, was on a fishing excursion and had gone in the pod
to bathe, when he got in too deep water and was drowned in spite of all
efforts made to rescue him.

Wm. BRIDELL, who has so long and faithfully served as night watchman for
De Soto, has been forced by his friends to take a rest in order to
repair his shattered constitution, and while he is laid up they will see
that his past services are not entirely unrewarded, but that he and his
family are provided for comfortably.

CRYSTAL CITY ITEMS - Crystal City, Mo., June 8, 1880 - Miss Maggie
McALLISER has gone to De Soto as one of the invited guests to witness
the hymenal services of Miss Rhoda BERKLEY and a Mr.----, which we are
informed takes place to-day.

Quite a number of the neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. HOLDINGHOUSE
were invited in on yesterday evening to witness the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Louisa to Mr. George SCHAEFFER. George, you are a good
fellow, and may success go with you and your better half through life.

Mr. Moses WHITE returned from the Leadville district quite sick. He was
not well when he started, and hesitated some days at St. Louis before
starting.

Mr. PEERS and Miss BERKLEY will assume matters matrimonially tonight, so
said. Mr. PEERS, is head clerk at the St. Jos. Lead Co.'s store, and if
he has any business coming into De Soto and capturing the Doctor's
datter our young men ought to hold an enquiry meeting.

Joe Lead Mines, June 19, aged 23. A large number of her De Soto friends
attended her funeral last Sunday.

CRYSTAL CITY ITEMS - Crystal City, Mo., June 14, 1880 - Chas. PARKER
arrived from out west on the 10th inst., and although he had been
prostrated with sickness, we must say that he was looking well as we
ever saw him. An observer will say that Chas. has some other method in
view of "raising the wind," as Dan WEBSTER and Rufus CHOATE used to say,
other than digging in the lap of mother earth for it.
Died in Limitville on the 9th inst., the infant son of Wm. McKEE and
wife. Aged about 15 or 18 months.

Married in the same place on the 11th, Mr. Jeremiah RALSTON to Miss
Serena HICKMAN.

Left the same place on the 14th, on a return trip to Leadville, Mr.
James BRYDEN.
