DR.. Lacy, of Mexico. has been
preaching every night this week to
large and attentive audiences at the
Presbyterian church.
Four auctioneers-Messrs. Henry
Larimore, B. F. Harris, E. B. Booth
and Jack Rodgers of Mexico-were
kept very busy Monday. selling cat
tie, horses, mules and other articles.
Jack made fun for the crowd, and
sold stock too; come again, Jack, te
our next stock sales.
We learn that Hon. Stilson Hutch.
ms has authorized Mr.. L. w. McKin.
ney, of this city to purchase a house
and lot for him in this town. Mr..
Mckinney has about closed the trade
for one of our most desirable resi-.
dences. Mr.. Hutchins desires tc
locate his family here with a view Of
educating his children.
Last Monday was stock sales day,
and the number of people in attend
ance was larger than at any previous
sales, and, as a consequence, stock
sold at a higher price. Altogether
the day vas one of encouragement
and good cheer, and from this time
forward we expect to hear but little
about the failure of these sales, which
has been so prevalent of late. In adj
dition to the lively trade among deal
ers, the merchants were busy, as
well as most every other branch OF
business.

HOG CHOLERA.

~
Mr.. EDITOR From my experience
and observations in hog cholera, /
have come to the conclusion that gem
uine hog cholera is as incurable as
genuine Asiatic cholera or yellow
fever is incurable in the human fam
ily; but there are other diseases that
hogs are subject to that is pronounced
cholera during the prevalence of
choler, athat is not cholera, hence, by
a little care and vigilance, thousands
of hogs may be saved.
There is a disease, if L am per-
mitted to call it such, that is often
mistaken for cholera; the hog shows
plainly that it is on the decline, and
soon refuses to eat and the hog
breathes very hard and finally respi-
ration ceases. This result is pro-
duced by two small, black, sharp
teeth above and below on either side 4;
they lacerate the tongue to such an
extent that it becomes in1amed and
so swollen that %suffocation ensues. /
would recommend these teeth TO be
punched out immediately, and the
hog will recover, if not too far gone.
Another disease is brought on hogs
by sleeping in too warm places, for
instance, in straw ricks and dusty
places also; the effect that such
places produce is this: The hog be-
gins to decline and has a dry caugh
the cause of this is from the pores
becoming closed in the legs just
above the small hoofs, they do not
perform their proper functions. Rem
edy: wash the back part of the legs
with strong soap suds, rubbing at the
same time with a corn cob or some
thing that will produce friction.
Another disease is caused by
worms; a soon as worms are sus-
pected, give each hog of medium
size n teacupfull of soft soap, made
from hardwood ashes, together with
one teaspoonful of copperas to each
hog. This remedy hogs will almost
invariably take with their W accord.
Two doses in one week will be sufi-
cient.
When hogs get sick from any cause.
[ would recommend them separated
from the well ones SO they can have
undivided attention. Feed sick hog:
but little dry corn; better soak il
we'll in water, slop or swill.
/ will close my article by givine
some remedies to prevent diseases
and keep hogs in good condition, and
they will be less liable to disease Of
any kind, and hogs are particularly
fond of them when they are placed
within their reach, soft soap, coperas,
polk root and stone coal. Everyone
trying the above viii be well satisfied
with the result without doubt.

TRAINS AGAIN MAKE THEIR
TRIPS ON TIME.
The broken span of the G. & A.
r. r. bridge at Louisiana has again
been replaced, and ON Sunday a train
crossed. The trestle work put up is
very substantial, and would last for
ages, but th1 Dompany has determin-
ed to forthwith proceed with the iron
work, and in a short time the awk-
ward looking trestle will be, replaced
by a handsome iron span of $50 feet,
of the most approved style and work
manship.
The old piers of the bridge have
been so strengthened by %rip-rapping
that they are % as strong and Sc
cure as piers a possibly be made.
The regular running of the trains
will not be impeded while the new
work is progressing, and SO perfect
are the arrangements of Engineer
Booth that the new span will go up
and the trestle disappear as smoothly
as though no great work of this kind
was going ON. ar

in this country have been playing a
ssbig game" Of euchre. 1t was a
-hotly-contested rubber, and in the
"sugar-game" (so-called,) we (the
Democrats) had four points and you
had three. We had the deal and
dealt ourselves both bowers and the
ace. Mind you, we did not know
that Internal ''ioker was" in the
pack. We took it up, Of course
thought we had a sure thing. But
you had five trumps including the
Joker. and-and-well, you euchred
as, and won the game. The joker

The telephone, that mysterious in
strument which transmits sound by
telegraph, bids fair to revolutionize
our social existence. An opera troupe
atDeBar's may sing to empty benches,
and yet delight a thousand auditors
sitting by their own firesides about
the city the pastor, on a rainy Sun
day, may mount his pulpit with no
one but the sexton in sight, and yet
talk to his scattered flock in their
homes as easily as if they were asleep
in their pews before him the voice
of the president elect, delivering his
inaugural on the steps of the Wash
ington capitol, may be carried audihly
to the remotest hamlet in the land,
and Gilmore's next Boston jubilee
may be heard by the people of San
Francisco without the expense of rail-
road tickets. Wonderful, indeed, is
the telephone.

Last Saturday we were so for

take a ride over into Audrain. SO
perching omself IN the wagon beside
our friend L. J. Roberts, (them we're
''mewils'' OF his'n jerkin' us along
at a lively rate,) we lit out for a
twenty mile drive to Toms farm and
from thence to Mexico. It has never
been our pleasure since becoming a
resident of Missouri to ride through
a finer farming country than that
which lies between Martinsburg and
Mexico, and Mr.. Roberts farm is no
exception to the rule-although his
eighty acres has been cultivated but
a short time, it shows that he has q
fine practical idea of what it takes to
constitute a good farm. Here we
found a good dwelling, new barn, all
necessary outbuildings, splendid well
of water, nice young orchard, fine
young stock, and everything indicates
that now Tom has left us he is going
to become a true tiller Of the soil in
every sense Of the word. We are
sorry to loose him, but wish him
much joy in his new home. May he
raise bountiful crops, herds of fine
