FREDERI,KTUwN.
The county seat OF Madison county.
Missouri, is situated on the Iron Noun
tam railroad, one hundred and four
population OF about 1900 souls has
three newspapers, the Jetfcrsonian,
P~laindealer. and Farmer and Miner; a
number Of iirs:-class business houses,
well stocked with goods; many shops,
conducted in good style by competent
artisans. who seem to be dong a flour
ishing business. The people are gen
orally of Kentucky aud Virginia stock,
and are rs hospitable as their origin
would warrant one IN expecting. To
the members of the press they threw
open their doors. and opened their hearts,
so that all felt that a genuine welcome
was extended. The only thing that
married the pleasure of the stay was that
4 number OF outsiders, who had no con-
%nection with the press. monopolized at
t~entions and civilities intended for the
fraternity thereby leaving some news
paper men out in the cold. OF course the
citizens were not to blame tor
this, and the association, by res
o]lutiuns which we have printed
above. has taken care that moth
ing Of the kind can occur again. The
hops given at the various halls were
enjoyable and brilliant affairs. Fred
cricktown is especially noticeable tor
having good water, good houses, good
gardens, good horses. and last, but not
by any means least. good looking wo-
men. Some four miles from Frederick
town are located the greatest lead mines
