FULTON, Mo-, Aug. 20, 1879.
EDtToR LEDGER Permit me O
short space in your columns to give a
passing notice of the events as they
are occurring here in Fulton. This
place, as you are aware, is ono OF the
old, easy-going towns of the state /;
but occasionally, when a good circus
comes along or n good fair is in pro-
gress, it looms up to equal Importance
with her sister towns, and frequently
surpasses them in activity and enter
prise. We have just begun our third
business day of the week, and could,
If We we're disposed, say tauch of the
circus, the theatre, the ball and the
fair.
MONDAY, AUGUST 18TH.
Sells Brothers showed to Fulton
and Galloway county what they had
in the way of a first-class circus.
They gave two exhibitions here and
it may be well said that it is the best
circus e presented to the Galloway
people. The crowd in attendance
has been estimated at six thousand.
While the baby elephant was holding
8 high hand ON the eastern the
fair association was making a fine
display on the western. The crowd
in attendance has been fattering.
The walking mstch of % miles was
quite interesting; there were 6 en-
tries. Mr.. F. NJ. MCGOWAN, of Cal
laway, bore off the prize, making il
in 4 hours and 40 minutes. The
prize in the race, Ego as you please
was handsomely captured by Mr.. Nv.
w. Gee, Of Galloway. In the shoot
ing match the Fulton club as frs
and second team, bore off the prizes
respectively.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 18TH
was the day that the association prom
ised to furnish a free dinner for all
The promise was handsomely fulfilled
and a big crowd was present to give
the dinner a grand boom. In the
sweepstakes ring for the fastest trot
ter, Oblit, owned by DR.. w. H
Howard, took the $50 premium
making it in 2:37.
A troop from Debar's opera house
will perform every evening this weel
at Tuttle's Hall. They appeared
o., last evening for the first time il
this place. Judging from what the,
have already done, their performan
ces win be a very pleasing and de
Ightfui feature of the weeks enter
tainment.
The opeuang ball at the Palace Ho

I Last Saturday night, Mr.. r u
Hoffman and Miss Lizzie Hisel, both
OF Brunswick, Mo-, came to Mexico
on the midnight train. Hoffman, al
though a fine looking fellow, seemed
to be feeling badly about something.
When he opened the register at the
hotel he appeared to be afraid that
somebody (the girls papa we sup
pose,) would jump out and eat him
up. The lady retired, while Hoffman
sat up till morning, when he at once
began to look for some one to make
the twain one. He had some trouble
IN finding the necessary person, as
nearly all Mexico was at the camp
meeting. About 5 o'clock Squire
Hooton vas brought to the front. He
was very unwelI, but after a little
bracing up he was able to say the
magic words. The young couple had
been engaged since 1875, but the
girls "horrid, cruel papa objected,
and so they had to vamoose. A hap
pier couple we never saw than they
when they had their marriage certifi-
cate sure and fast and each trying to
look over the others shoulder, were
trying to read it. A long and happy
life they deserve.

ssThe New Eaee."

MR. EDITOR: Every now and then
society ferIlentS. Mexico is in II
midst ofsuch an upheavai, but while
reformers amuse themselves with eX-
periments, the City Council is in
volved in perpiexity by yielding to
NEW .'idees' and departing from old
ones. 1t might all be well enough if
passing round the hat would run tue
machine; unfortunately, that is a
played out device, and hence the diff
ealty. The question to be solved Is,
how is the treasury TO be replenished?
The reformers are impecunious and
can't plank up, and the merchants
woaf- No. NOT EVEN Fob THE PRIV
ILEGE OF SELLING WHISKY.
What would a farmer think if a Ii
cense were demanded of him because
he sold corn and barley and hops to
the distiiieries and breweries, or dis
posed Of the wine produced by his
Viney ards? 70 understand the full
extortion of the aug License" re-
sort must be made to first prin-
ciples. What is q license? 1t is a
privilege to prosecute an avO-
cation. A mans business may
be laborious, mechanical, mercantile,

clude the farmer, laborer, mechaniG,
merchant, lawyer, doctor, banker,
school teacher and v preacher, as
well as the keeper of houses and
places of public accommodation and
the conductors of shows and amuse-
ments, but while this principle per-
tains to all classes, farmers, laborers,
mechanics, lawyers, doctors, school
teachers and divines claim exemp-
tiOn. Lawyers may besei9e courts
and councils with petitions for sa-
loon licenses; doctors may admins
ter whiskey by prescription and
farmers may sell their wine, but the
merchant appeals in vain against So
ciety's combination 10 pluck him.
Fortunately the councils powers are
limited or the extortion of the re
formers might exceed that of the
state.
In Sec. 3, Art. g., the charter OF
Mexico empowers its city council to
license, regulate or tax dram-shops,
wine and beer saloons, liqour sellers
and tipling houses. Attention Is
called to the little word or. Line
city may license, regulate or tax
Which will it do? When it decides
not to license, what can it do bu reg
ulate or tax but when it elects tc
license, it eXhausts all the powtI
conferred by the section referred to.
SeG4,ArL 6, confers no power to
demand of any one pay for mere
privilege. 1t refers wholly to levy
ing and collecting a license tax.
See. 9 of same article imparts power
tn raullafA aDI fnv co1nS Of frtANi
eating liquors. Both these grants
have been modified by the new con-
stitutiOn which provides in Sec. A,
Art. 10, that all property subject to
taxation shall be taxed in proper
ton to its value and not to its sales,
and Sec. II, Art. 10, limits taxation
for towns and cities having less than
ten and more than II thousand in
habitants to fifty cents on the hun
dred dollars valuation.

t1Uthiniously thf6Hn away, and Is thls
ah7 The performance in the arbol
+ss all Of his pubic religious exer.
cl5so5 except On one side of tile mair
audience, and a little way from il
was a two-horse wagon, from which
some good-hearted sister was telling
tile by-standers, that she had over.
come the devil and was proof against
temptation. This We readily bellev.
ed, for as we gazed upon her, we
could we'll understand, that she had
been out of harms way for a quartz,
of a century. On another side of the
main audience, was a red-headed
youth, telling the same story of per.
fective holiness, and this was all. As
we heard and saw all this, some one
whispered in our ear, "Let him who
thinketh he standeth take heed lest
he fall" We responded, Amen!
Let no reader misunderstood or
misinterpret us. We say nothing of
or against the faith of these religion
lists. We have no objections to any
body or everybody becoming ''wholly
without SIM" it would be a matter
of great rejoicing if all we're invinci-
BILE against any, the sorest tempta-
ton; but just what we say and what
we is, that NO class of religion
lists or any other class, has any right
to so disappoint such a gathering as
complimented Long Branch Camp
Meeting, as was done on last Sab
bath, in the matter of intellectual and
religious food.
There were a thousand incidents
occurring on the way to, at and from
the camp ground which, if published,
would afford the leader much amuse-
ment. Who we saw and where and
with whom-what was said and done
who had the fastest horse-what
veteran gentleman forgot that it was
Sunday, and permitted, just permit
ted, you see," his nice gray horse
to travel on the side of the road ard
skip by the entire procession and
lead it in triumph, into the city,
against the protests of his staid and
Reverend companion, as well as the
supposed proprieties of the day ard
the roads, but for these we have no
space.
Of course, at such a meeting, of
such entirely holy people, would be
found a representative of that most
proper and dignified, and sanctified
sheet-the InteHigencer, and hence
we saw Col. McIlhaney stepping
around, Selling the fairest and choic-
est nuggets Of goodness, to embellish
some sainted corner of his paper, Civ
ing to its next issue some new evil
dence, that as to its immaculate col
umns temptation has no power, and
sin is dead.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1879-08-21

In the present ~eXigencies Of the
city treasury two methods to replen-
ish it are open to the city council.
The passage of such revenue laws as
will bear equally on all classes and
the introduction of more economical
expenditure. Heretofore merchants
have paid to the city the same rate of
taxation as has been imposed on real
estate. 1t is true real estate has
never been assessed at its full value,
but merchants have been compelled
TO return under oath the highest
amounts of goods held by them in
I Guiding whiskey, beer and wine.
1t is now getting to be as evident
to the people as it was to the legisla-
ture last winter that if the question
of prohibition is ever submitted to
vote Il clause increasing the power of
taxation must accompany it. The
reformers have eve thought of this 4.
! The people have been taxed beyond
endurance and to put a stop to it
have interposed constitutional limita-
ton upon Legislative, county and mu-
nicipal authority. Last winter, when
under the constitution the legislature
could make no other provision for
sustaining the credit OF the state, it
increased its charge for dram-shop
licenses, but after declining to follow
its example our council has passed a
law that cannot be executed because
it is as illegal as 1t is unjust. 1t
ought to be repealed at once, and il
nothing better can be done, let re-
trenchment be the order of the day.
1t will pay you to borrow money
at 10 per cent and buy your grocer
