GEN. GRANTS COMPANIONS IN HIS COMING
TRIP.-One of the small matters about which
much is made, is whether John Russell Young,
OF the New York Herald and Dr. Evans, OF the
London Sears are TO be allowed to accompany
Gen. Grant On his trip aboard the T. S. S. Rich
mond: 1t has been stated that Secre-
tary Thompson has granted permission to
these gentlemen to take up quarters on
the Richmond: that he has refused such
permission, and again that he would not
allow any one outside Of General Grants im-
mediate family to take passage with him on the
vessel. The fact OF the case is that no PROPOSE
tlon to allow Mr.. Young aud DR.. Evans ON the
richmond has ever been made to the secretary.
The only thing bearing on the subject Is what
was contained in Secretary ThonpSon'S letter
to Gen. Grant, offering him the hospitality of
the Richmond. In this letter, which was
very kind one, 1t was stated that If Gen. Grant
desired to take with him one or two friends no
objection would be made at the department,
provided such arrangements were made as
would not cause any expense TO the government
if they We're taken along. Whether Gen. Grant
VIII avail himself OF this permission, or If he
does who the friends he takes with him are
likely to be- are wholly unknown at the Navy
depal alLment. The Richmond, the L. S. vessel
which Gen. Grant is TO join in her eastern trip,
has been ordered to make trial trip from Bos-
Ton to New York,

to in Mexico. The supper served by

IADDONIA.

II. NJ. WHITE EDITOR LEDGER:
Your request to furnish you an ar
ticle concerning Laddonia, for the
Christmas edition of your paper was
duly received, but mislaid, conse-
Quently this delay in complying.
| Not knowing exactly what you want,
II give you a few facts of my own Sc
lection.
Laddonia was laid out as a town
in 1871, by Ladd & Haden. Its site
is a high rolling prairie, ON the di-
viding ridge between the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers. A more beau
tlful site or O better location as re
CARDS neighboring towns could not
have been chosen. 1t is distant
East, from Mexico, fourteen miles ;
West from Vandalia, ten miles f;
North from Martinsburg, nine miles,
and South from Perry, fourteen miles.
All the intervening country is very
rich and fertile, well adapted to the
cultivation of all products pertaining
to this latitude. In the year 1871
the Louisiana and Missouri River
railroad was built, being a link in the
chain of roads owned and operated
by the Chicago & Alton railroad com
pany, connecting Laddonia with
Mexico, Chicsgo, Kansas City and
Jefferson City. AT this date the sur
rounding prairie was almost an I'M
broken waste Few farm houses
could be seen. In the summer sea-
son vast herds of cattle from neigh
boring counties, and from the State
of Illinois, found rich pasture here,
Now all this is changed. scores OF
farms and farm buildings can now be
counted from any eligible standpoint
in the town. Lanes alone now mark
the public highway, where but q few
years since, the knowledge of the di-
rection the traveller wished to go,
was his only guide.
To show you what advancement
has been made, especially in the las:
three years, 1 give a few figures from
the railroad books at this station,
comparing the business of the last
half Of the period of our existance as
a town, with the first half. During
the four years, 1872, 1878, 1874 and
1875 the aggregate offreight received
was 2,302, 900 pounds, and during
the three years, 1868, the amount
was A, 122, 435 pounds. The latter
years almost doubling the preceding
four. During the same periods the
freight forwarded. vas for the first
four years, 9,646, 365 pounds, and
for the last three years l~7,475,510
pounds, being nearly twice the amount
of business, the latter three years, as
for the preceding four. These fig
ures show more clearly than anything
else can, the material progress of the
town and surrounding country.
Notwithstanding the richness Of
the soil, the certainty of crops, and
the cheapness of the lands, the coun.
try is not settling up as rapidly as il
should. Good farming lands can be
bought, going from hi to five miles
from town, at prices ranging from
IS to So per acre. Good improves
farms from s12 to SIS per acre.
