Henry Williams, the leading mer-
chant of Mexico, died on the I'd inst, J
in the 57th year of his age. Mr..
Williams was, in some respects, one
of the most remarkable men in Mis-
souri,. His educational advantages,
when a boy, were of the crudest kind,
and when the writer of this first knew
him, twenty years ago, he was scarce
ly able to write his own name. He
grew to be one oil the best posted
men of his time, and no man in Mis-
could talk better or make him
self a more interesting companion.
Al a business man, he was energetic,
liberal and successful. He. at one
time, Represented Audrain county in
the Legislature, making an influential
and usefufmember.-Moberly Enter

POSTAL UNIFORM.

Brass buttons ara a perfect charm.
When on a coat of blue.
Iflthey do no good they'll do nc harm,
Might help to make II mash or two.
/. n. Vail, General Superintend-
emf of the Postal Service has issued
an order for all railroad postal clerks
and all those who handle the United
Stdtes mail outside oflocal post offices
to be clad in blue by Dee. 25th, III.
Now this is well enough for mail and
letter carriers, but for the railroad
postal clerks it is all ''bosh," simp-
IL a ridiculous order and one which
should be rebelled against, that is if
1T does not suit the fancy of the rail-
road clerks. AS we Stated above it
is a good thing for letter carriers, for
it distinguishes them and throws a Sc
curity around the service, for you are
then in no danger of giving your mai
to a bogus carrier, and you can tel
at a glance if an lmposter is handling
the mail pouches. We fail t
see why the railroad clerks should b.
driven to dless in uniform unless the,
wish any more than regular postmas
tiers.
They are off duty when they com
out of the postal car, SO why shout
they still a badge of office, an
while in the a they e no one, s
why should they be forced to dres
| in an uncomfortable manner, then
t short, we think this rank impositie
on the railroad postal clerks,

THANKSGIVING DINNER.

DIR. and Mrs. Potts en- yesterday
a Thanksgiving dinner at their
hospitable mansion. 1t was an ola
fashioned table, covered with all that
was calculated to satisfy the eye as
well as the stomach. There was no
attempt at display and was therefore
the more enjoyable. Among those
present we noticed Major Bethel, wife
and daughters, Col. James HI. Birch,
Jr., wife and daughters, Mr.. Henseii

etc. It was a reunion of old friends,
and right royalty did the elegant

MRS. ANN BARR.

Mrs. Ann Barr, mother of VIM.
Barr, senior member of the firm of
VIM. Barr & Co, died very suddenly
night before last at her residence
1921 Locust street. She went to bed
on Sunday night, seemingly as well
rs ever, with her grandchild, and
when the latter awoke about daybreak
she found her grandmother dead.
Her death evidently occurred without
a struggle. The physicians attributed
it to disease of the heart. The
deceased lady was seventy years of
age and was born in Scotland. She
came with her husband to New York,
and subsequently they removed to St.
Louis, arriving here in 1854. Her
son, Mr.. VIM. Barr, whose present
residence is in New York, was imme-
diately telcgraphed for, and will reach
here OH Wednesday, when the funeral
will take place.-St. Louis Republic

NEW RAILROAD.
THE C. & A. TO BE ExTENDED-CoL.
MITCHELL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
WAY WANTED.

II G. & A. TO BE EXTENDED-COL.
MITCHELL ExPATIATEs-RIGHT OF
WAY WANTED.
On last Monday Col. Mitchell,
President of the C. & A. railroad, adj
dressed the people of Mexico on the
subject of the extension CT the c. &
A. railroad to Kansas City from Mex
leo. He stated chat all they asked of
the people of Audrain vas the right
OF way. He said they had to buy
none of the night of way rs yet and
trusted they would not in Audrain.
He said there would be no machine
shops at Mexico, and that all the
shops they needed were at Blooming
ton, and would not be moved. We
will have repair shops to such an ex-
tent as is found needful.
1t is thought that Mexico will be
the end of q division between Road
Hoase and Kansas City, but this is not
Il certainty, for the division may end
at Glasgow. The plan now is to run
the extension parallel and only one
hundred feet from the North Missouri
railroad as far as C~entralia. The X
tension will cross the North Missouri
road at Clark's Switch, and CT )ss the
III. X. & L. at IIigbee, thence running
direct to Glasgow.
An iron bridge will be built at
Glasgow. The road will be complet-
ed in less than two years, if nothing
happens.
Next Tuesday there will be a meet
ing Of five of the directors of the c.
& a. and five directors of the n. NJ.
railroad. If these committees can
make satisfactory arrangements
whereby the G. & A. road can have
their freight carried on tho n. NJ.
road from and to Kansas City. The
new road will lie dropped. There is
but a small chance for amicable terms
to be agreed on, and if something
definite is not agreed upon Mt this
meeting work on the extension will
commence at once.
The road will be built on the most
approved plan most all the roads in
the West have in some places 4 40 or
80 foot grade to the mile, on such Il
steep grade an engine can only pull
20 loaded cars. On this road the
grade will in no place be more than
II feet to .he mile, on such u road an
engine can pull with ease 30 loaded
caas. The rails are all to be of steel
from Kansas City to Chicago. No
definite action will be taken till after
the meeting at New York, on the 18th
of Dec. Our readers will be notified
Of any new Developments.
