"BIG INJUN, ME. "

Some days since we stated that j..
Boyden had resigned the office of
postmaster at Vandalia, and that
there was a vacancy there. Harry
Day, "sole editor and proprietor of
the only Radical paper (now sold out
to the Greenbackers) in this dis
trict," went to Vandalia and in loud
tones proclaimed tha+ he would see
that no one but Republican should
have the office-pcstoffices belonged
to the Republicans, and he, a one
horse carpenter, who's brain and ed
ucation could be wrapped up in a
gun patch, and still have enough
room for his common sense, was run
ming this portion of the Radical party,
and he would see that justice was
done the community by seeing that
Republicans had the postoffices. Mrs
Wood, Democrat, is postmistress,
Harry was too fresh, with all his
boasted power with Hayes and the
postmaster-general; lady cut his
tow-line. Go west, my friend, among
the Indians.

NEARLY A BLAZE.

Last Sunday morning, about 3
O'Clock, as Johnny Coons was
going home from the express offer,
he noticed fire in John Hutchin-
sons grocery store, next door TO
Ricketts & Emmons. He and Neugent
Ringo House second clerk, promptly
broke a glass out of the door and
extinguished the fire, which as yet
had made but little headway. The
fire company ran the ''machine" to
the scene of action promptly on the
alarm being givon, but it was not
needed. 1t appears that the rats had
knocked about a dozen boxes OF
matches off of the shelf which ignited
in the fall, and the floor being satura-
ted with coal oil from tank near by
there would have been big fire in a
few moments, and the chances are
that Mexico would have had one OF
its biggest blazes but for the prompt
action Of Coons. 1t is only a matter
of time till that block of frame build.

WHERE DOES BRIDGES STAND? F?

The resolutions adopted by the

gold as the single standard for the
measurement of values. Now, Mr..
Bridges, who has been a Democrat
heretofore, and voted in the last
Democratic primary election, claims
to be the candidate of the Greenback
party, supported also by the Republi-
can party. Doesn't Bridges have to
"spread himself little more than

There is no consistency whatever in
his position, and his ''conglom: rated

THE GOLDEN TROUPE.

The Golden Troupe is coming and
will show in Mexico, October 2Sth,
29th and 30th. They have q better
troupe than ever, and the best band
on the road. They have new plays
and new costumes. The kattoon

During all this week our amuse-
ment loving people have had the
pleasure of u succession of the best
plays presented by the popular Gold
en- Theatrical Troupe, with the de-
lightfui star actress, Bella Golden,
in the principal characters. Mrs.
Golden is certain ly deserving of the
high favor in which she is held
wherever she appears. All her rep
reservations are thoroughly perva'led
with the spirit of the true actor, in
which all self consciousness is sunk
out of sight in the action and emo
ton, the ensemble and the language

gentlemanly Golden, and in fact all
the balance of his. troupe, give her
such support as renders every play
presented satisfactory and entertain
ing. We are safe in: saying that
nothing in the dramatic way comes
to our city that is superior to the
Goldens. We should not forget to
add that Gibbler's popular band OF
musicians are with Golden and add
much to the interest of their per.

BUCK KELLY.

A few days since our friend Buck
Kelly, of the Moberly Monitor, being
in st. Louis, was interviewed by
Field, of the Journal, as TO who was
candidate for Congress in his district,
Kelly replied: ''WelI, Jene, lie is q

Boswell, or something like that. 1t
make no matter what his name is,
we are going to elect him. You

The FIRE.

Our friend Day seems to have had
quite a time at the fire the other
night. He says, ''we was awakened
from our heavenly slumber" (very
unfortunate for him indeed) "by the
omnitious cry of fire" 1--WE never heard
of fire having an "omnitious'' cry
before). He says, CARRYING on the
square we found the fire was out, as
it had been discovered before it got
much start, and a single bucket OF
of water had did the work" Would
it not be a good thing for every
house in town to keep a bucket OF
water like the one that discovered
this fire, and ''had did the work"
before the editor ~ reached the
place of "danger!" Was that a
bucket of Greenback water, or con-
glomeratedP"
