Enjoy. Charlotte ------ Just to remind everyone -- Charlotte's "Pearls" are now archived permanently at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/mo_newspaper.htm -------------------------------- Jefferson Democrat Hillsboro, Jefferson county, Missouri FRIDAY, 22 AUGUST 1879. - Henry THOMPSON, the colored bigamist, evidently thought it couldn't be proved on him when he insisted on a preliminary examination. Esq. GREEN heard the case one day last week. There was a great number of witnesses, most of them colored, and it was proven that Mr. THOMPSON had two wives living. After going to such an expense for a preliminary trial he ought to plead guilty in circuit court. FRIDAY, 22 AUGUST 1879. - KIMMSWICK ITEMS - Mr. Washington WILLIAMS was married to Miss Missouri SOLOMAN, on the 19th inst., by Esq. WATERS. Otto ROHLFING (who for the past three years has been with MATHIEU & RACINE) and Lay BIRD opened a new meat market in the building formerly occupied by H. ROHLFING as a shoe shop. Otto will attend the market while Mr. B. will manage the outdoor business. H.N. JENKINS left last Thursday to visit his brother in Wapello, Iowa. He will be gone about two weeks. Chas. BEISBARTH returned yesterday from a visit to his father, in Germany. He reports having a tip top time, and if appearances are to be relied on, he certainly did. They have a new girl up at Jacob MAHN's house, about a week old at present writing. OBITUARY - FREDERITZIE -- July 4, 1875, near Maxville, infant child of Mrs. Amelia FREDERITZIE. GILLMAN -- Aug. 9, 1879, in Rock township, infant son of Henry and Mary GILLMAN. KROBAR -- July 11, 1879, near Maxville, Elizabeth, daughter of Mrs. Margaret KROBAR, aged 13 months.

Elder STEPHENS will preach the funeral of Mrs. Sarah SULLENS, at Cedar Hill Church on the third Sabbath in this month. Friends of deceased are invited. Rev. Wm. HENDRICKSON will preach the funeral sermon of Joseph J. McMULLIN, deceased, at upper Plattin church, on Sunday, the 14th inst. Friends of the deceased are respectfully invited to attend. We are pleased to learn that Mr. T.H. HASSE is coming back to Jefferson county to live. He has been in Milwaukee, Wis., for some time. He has probably reached here by this time. A couple from Illinois called on Esq. John CONN, the other day, to get spliced, and he accommodated them by doing the business up in the most impressive and solemn style he could command. While congratulating himself on having done a good job, and anticipating a good fee, the groom asked him what his charges were. "The law allows me two dollars and a half," said the squire. "Well," said the groom, "here is a quarter; that with what the law gives you makes two and six bits." and before the squire could get his breath the happy pair was gone. The following we take from the Davenport (Iowa) Gazette. Mr. RORABACK was for a number of years a citizen of De Soto: -- "Yesterday, at New Boston, Ill. occured the marriage of Mr. Geo. RORABACKof this city; and Mrs. Maria C. BENEDICT, of the former place, Rev. Mr. MURDOCH officiating. The groom and bride arrived in the city last evening, and were conducted to the residence of Mr. J.S. FOWLER, where a reception was given in their honor. A goodly number of friends were assembled when they reached the house, and many more tendered their compliments and respects afterwards. It was a happy occasion for all present -- and everybody felt like heartily congratulating Mr. RORABACK over his conquest. Mr. FORMEY was married last week at Carondelet to Mrs. Jennie YATES. They intend to make Kimmswick their future home. FRIDAY, 12 SEPTEMBER 1879. We are obligations to Esq. KIRK for the following report of wheat threshing in Rock Township this year. Mr. FLAM's machine threshed 2,785 bushels of wheat and 60 of oats; Mr. FREDERITZIE's machine, &,347 bushels of wheat and 280 of oats; and the NICHOLS & SHEPPARD machine, owned by C. GLATT and Henry GILLMAN, 15,575 bushels of wheat, 100 of barley and 36 of oats. MEYER & FICKE's machine threshed 11,369 bushels of wheat and 92 of oats. Jas. A. WILSON and W.P. WILLIAMS' thresher ran 37 days and threshed 49 crops, aggregating 13,131 bushels of wheat and 583 of oats. E. SCHLOFFKE's machine threshed 10,780 bushels of wheat. James HENSLEY became thoroughly imbued with the idea -- last Monday night -- that it was necessary for him to whip Burrell REPPY. Burrell urged many objections to fighting, but finally got his courage worked up to the sticking point and the two (with Os. McMULLIN as second for Burrell and Guy HONEY for Jim) quietly walked out in the dark to a smooth grassy field, and after the usual preliminaries, went to work to establish the fact as to which was the best man. After a few kicks and blows they clinched and fell and Jim cried "nuff." We understand that Jim wants to try it over in the daytime, but our advice to him is to seek for some better business. democr23
