The Murphy Meeting Monday night
was a booming one, everybody turn
cd out. Crowding the audience
room, crowding the gallery. crowd
Eing the stage, standing in the a~isles,
packed the doorway, all in expeeta-
ton to hear the published program
me ofthe week before. and they were
not disappointed. vice-P President,
JohnlG ordon was in the chair. The
meeting was opened in the usual
form, by reading the scriptures and
prayer. After the report of the ex-
ecutive board, Miss Ella Hit, the
reader of the evening, came forward,
and in a clear distinct and audible
voice, read a piece, entitled, sour
Mission" Miss Hit believes peo-
pie have a mission, or should have
one in life and labor to fulfil it.
Hence the power. force and beauty
OF her selection IVES fully developed
and received the full appreciation of
the audience. Bishop Andrews was
then introduced, and in q mastery
and scholarly manner, took up the
question of interoperance and handled
it in a logical way. Rev. Beardsley,
from Colorado, next took the stand
and gave an outline OF the work be-
ing done in his state. At the con-
clusion of his remarks somebody
whispered IN the Presidents ear and
he called on Rev. Powers for q song
He responded with a temperance
song called .'The Little Pleader,"
and when he had finished the ap-
plause alone, testified to the audi
ence's appreciation. Then Brother
Gooch, of Mexico, took the stand
and created a sensation among the
candidates for city officers, by asking
for votes, but he only wanted votes
for temperance, and then came the
finishing of his remarks. with
the potent power of that wal hoop,
come and get IL Murphy. The choir
contributed q song to the entertain
ment of the evening, but we were alb
sent at the time, but know what they
furnish to these meetings is always
gladly welcomed.
Programme for next Monday night:
Address-by Rev. I. j. Gooch:
reading, select sosgs, &c.
Don't forget the Hutchinson Fami-
ly next Friday night, for the benefit
of the Murphy Organization. This is
a rare entertainment. Come every

immigration.


Interest in the subject of imigra-
ton is rapidly Increasing in every
part of Missouri. liz our recent visits
to Andrain and Cat. oil counties we
found tile people ready To act, and
had the pleasure of witnessing the
organization OF a County Immigra-
ton Society in each.
In these two counties an example
has been set, which, no doubt, will
be followed by many other counties
In the State. The cause is one in
which all can heartily join and pull
in the same direction. No one, ex-
cept "a dog in the manger," will be
found in any community of our great
Commonwealth standing in the way
of progress in this direction
In Carrollton, especially, we found
the editors and proprietors OF the 10
cal press ready TO vie with each other
in every practical effort to promote
the object in view, and in ignoring
all other differences, work in harmo-
ny in this.
These two counties have n fair
start together The society in Au-
drain was organized Monday, March
Path, and that in Carroll, March 25th,
1879. The citizens of each have
much to feel proud of, and we shall see
see which does the best for itself in
the promotion of this cause.
Other counties are ready t. organ
ize, and we shall expect 10 sec a gen
eral emulation between them i'm .his
field. w feel safe in estimating that
Audraiu and Carroll will each raise a
Thousand dollars to be employed in
their w way, in advertising their
respective counties during the present
year. II fifty other counties in the
State will do az well, we may expect
good results at no distant day.-GSt
Louis journal of Agriculture.
We defy the editor of the st. Louis
Journal of Agriculture or any other
party to tind II man more Jealous in
the interest OF Mexico and Audrain
county than we are. or one that would
go farther or work harder TO bring in
immigration. but at the same time We
would like to tell Bro. Toilet that he
is off on the wrong tack In the above
article. We understand him if no
one else does. We are in favor of
advertising the county, and. of having
at least a part of the work done in
some largely circulated st. Louis pa
per, but we feel confident that the
people of this county will not only
not give the st. Louis journal OF Ag-
riculture $1,000 in advertising, but
not one thousand mills. The people
of Audrain county owe that paper
nothing, to what they do other lead
ing papers in St. Louis. "Meester

r. M. WHITE: Suppose the con.

duct the same from his salery, what
should be done with them?
A CHURCH. GoER.
Although, a. first the case might
strike n as shabby treatment, as a
matter of fact the rules of that church
leaves no alternative. The pastor is
paid a salary. All he receives from
the congregation during the year
must be deducted from his salery.
Like the President of the United
he IS not allowed to receive

a strange rule, but ii we are correct

County.

To the Farmers Of Audrains
County.
We wish to call your attention to
our Sulky Plow Carriage, which we
are now Introducing throughout
Northern Missouri. The advantage
we have over anything IN the Sulky
Plow line is, we work it on any plOw,
ron or wooden beams, right or left
hand, with two or three horses, do
ing the work better and running with
lighter draft than when the same
plow is held by hand.
We also manufacture corn and
field C%ultivators and Stalk Cutters,
which can be attached to the same
Sulky, at a small expense, selling the
same separate or combined, and can
be easily adjusted to attach aharrow.
Our mode of introducing, being diff
fereut from the most of manufac-
turers-taking our goods direct to
the farmers, and giving them the
most thorough test they can be put
to; and all we ask is, when called
upon by our agents. that you will
give it Il trial and satisfy yourself that
we have all we claim.
We have been manufacturing u
Suiky but a few years, and each year
increasing, until we are now shipping
one hundred per day, and finding
quick sales for all anufactured.
We have introduced our Sulky
through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
MINNESOTA, Missouri, Kansas and
Texas; five hundred being sold from
Sherman, Texas, during the month
of January and February last, and
in all places hhs1s met with universal
satisfaction. "

Mr.. EDITOR: The school taught
at this place, by me, closed to-day.
For the benefit of my patrons, 1 wish
to make public the following reports.
Length of term, seven months /; num-
Der of scholars enrolled, th;rty-eight ;

that the average is good, for which

LApDoNIA, Mo, March 31st 70.
This is a cold, windy, bipstry day
and many of our Citizens arc com
planning of having the .'blues.'W ell,
this cold wind is enough to make one
blue, yet our town has a good sup
ply of traders to-day, and our mer-
chants are kept busy. We have two
black smith shops in town., one be-
longing to Mr.. Ryney and one to Mr.:
James Gilliland. They are both do
ing good business and il they should
get as much work to do during the
year as they have IN the last two
weeks they need not go to Leadvllle
for a fortune, but can soon hammer
it out here in Laddonia. Several in
surance agents in town to-day. They
give each house a scrutinizlng look
as the pass by and wonder if its oe-
cupants are very searry about fire.
If they conclude they are, they goin
and begin to relate some dreadful
fires, and just how the family escap-
ed, with nothing but their lives and
no insurance. These stories have q
good effect and the insurance man
gets his share of business, which Is
all right and proper. The evening
train has arrived and we see some-
thing less that a dozen ''drummers'
leave the train and come marching
over. Luckily, each n represents,
the best house in the limited States.
The joint discussion betweent Johns
Branch Lyceum and the Laddonia
Lyceum took place last Saturday
night. Each Lyceum chose four
speakers and debated the question,
Resolved, That the signs of the times
Indicate a Republican form o fgovern-
ment in the United States" The
same question, by the same speakers,
with one exception, was debated
here several weeks ago. Now the
judges decided in favor of the Lad
domains, and as the Johns Branch
ers gave them another discussion,
which resulted in a decision in favor
ofthe Laddonians again. The speak
ers on the affirmative were Messrs.
KEENAN,, Crawford, Eerheart and DR..
Mitchell. On the negative, Messrs.
McNanny, Edwards, Hirst and Judge
Wilder. Mr.. G. A. Wilder was
chosen as chairman of the meeting.
The discussion passed off very pleas
antly with the exception of some of
the young Americans using their feet
at Il most too lively rate on the floor
and at very improper times. Mr.
Calbreath and family have moved to
Farber. Mr.. Calbreath is a good
blacksmith and has taken charge of Il
shop in Farber. We are sorry to
loose them, but wish them success in
their new home. MIR. Ryney has
rented Mr. C.'s residence here. Eve
ry II thinks spring has come for
sure, now, and are having their
houses painted, papered and a gen.
eral house cleaning is in progress.
We notice several new signs. hung
out, painted in the most attractive
manner, by Robert Hilton, who is
considered a very fine workman.
Among the number, we see one at
the City Hotel, one at the Ladaonia
Hotel, one at G. A. Smith & Co.'s
We see some of the Laddonians are
beautifying their homes by planting
trees. ANNIE LAURA.
