Some of the Lesser Attractions of the Fair

Among the various lesser attrac-
tons at the fair, we notice the follow
ing "catch pennies," nearly all in a
row, running west from the grand en-
trance, On the east side. We notice
first, a tent which contains the big
gest COW Oh earth, weighing 2,250
pounds. Then w have a shooting
gallery, ''nickle a shot," Next door
TO this is a skid rack" three throws
for five cents and a half cent cigar
every time you kill a "kid.' A
striking machine to test your muscle
comes next; after which we have a
side show, containing Blind John, the
pianist. Next we have a photo
graph lottery gallery. Pay your
money, take your picture and drawn
a-blank. Then we have the auction
man who ''stole his goods" and IA
sell them cheap. Next we have a
couple of baby racks, run on the same
plan as the kid racks. We then have
another side show, containing the
biggest and l%ittlelst man on earth,"
in your mind. Next to this is a
snide jewelry stand. Then comes
the dance hall, which runs 4 sets at
once. In the rear of this IS a half
dozen peanut and pop corn stands.
Next comes Willard Carrell's neatly
furnished lemonade and lunch tent.
Pitchers jewelry bazaar comes next.
Then comes Curlie's wheel and the
glassware stand. We then have the
"Ten pin Ally and another side
show supposed to contain all the liv-
ing and dead curioslties in the world.
We also have the paddle wheel which
fascinates the boys. Then we have
the wooden men with heads on him
ges to be knocked down with base
balls. All these living and dead Gu
riosities are sandwitched in with lem
onade, peanuts, pop corn and other
consolidating features.

Mexico Medical and Surgical Inirmary.
Rev. T. J. Wheat in the Church and Home.
In our last issue we predicted that
at no distant day the Medical and
Surgical Institute of this place, un-
der charge of DR.. McMenamy, would
command the confidence of not only
the community, but of this northern
part of the State. We said before
and now repeat that we need Just
such ar infirmary in Mexico. LIST.
Because Mexico is one of the most
healthful localities on the continent.
End. Because many of the late appli-
ances in the medical profession can
not be had elsewhere. Not that
Mexico has not a number of first
class physicians. We are really
proud of our medical practitioners as
a class-they are noble, generous,
efficient and high minded class of
gentlemen. DR.. McMenamy's lnsti-
tute being just across the way from
our study, we bespeak of what We
daily see. Besides being a cultured
physician the Doctor is a real manly
mana gentleman. He doesn't stoop
to spiteful contrasts or jealousies, but
has manhood enough to cheerfully
accord proficiency and greatness to
others in the profession. Az the In
Urinary is just opposite our study, we
cannot help seeing the large number
of invalids that daily visit the Doctor
from this and adjoining counties.
The evidence to US of the Doctors
ability is seen partly in his having
built up so quickly a reputation and
so large a practice. W. learn from
him that $50 persons hav been treated
by him in the last three months, and
we have not heard of one who went
away dissatisfied. All, without ex-
ception, with whom We have convers-
ed, express themselves in the strong
est terms of approval of the Doctor
and his treatment. A visit and con-
s~ultation will inspire the same conf
dence on the part of the afflicted that
the Doctor has In the future of the
institution; Supplied as he is with
the most complete outfit of medical
instruments and appliances, which
experience has proved valuable, and
possessed, As his diplomas show, of
a liberal medical education, and hav-
ing had years of practical experience,
we believe he can offer advantages in
chronic and surgical cases rarely
found in this county.
W. are glad to have so thorough,
scientific and energetic practitioner
as DR.. McMenamy to locate In our
midst, and we insure him a hearty
welcome. Let the afflicted consult
the Doctor at the Mexico Medical
Infirmary. AS we understand it,
consultation free.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1880-09-16

Every nominee of the Democratic
party in Audrain county, is in every
way well qualified for the office to
which he aspires, but no one more so
than B. F. Dobyns, the nominee for
County Collector. We venture the
assertion that there is not another
man in the county better qualified.
You cannot take q man with no ex-
p%erience In bookkeeping, and put
him in the collectors office with the
faintest hope that he will give salts
faction. Ben is one of the soundest
and most enthusiastic Democrats in
the county, and his record, both pub
lie and private, is without a stain.
For the past two years, he has proven
himself to be a most efficient and ac-
commodating collector. We know
whereof we speak when we say that
he is qualified, steady, careful and
accommodating. He should be elected
this fall by an increased majority.

Awards in Wednesdays Speed Ring.
A large crowd was present We'd
nesday afternoon to witness the two
following races:
The first race was the fastest trot-
ting horse that had never beaten
three minutes, three best in five,
mile heats. The following four en-
tries were made: Lulu M, Baby,
Elmer +. and Bashaw Temple. Tues
day night Bashaw Temble sold in the
pools AS the favorite, selling even
against the field. Some how, during
the night, it got out that Lulu M.
YVES a flyer and Wednesday, all day,
up to the time of the race, betting
was lively, Lulu M. being taken even
against the field. Lulu M. won the
first three heats straight, getting first
money, $50, and Baby second money
$50, and Bashaw Temple third, $40.
Lulu Ms time was 2 40, which was
very good, the track being very dus-
ty. Lulu NJ. is n of the prettiest
trottcrs in the State.
The second race was the fastest
running horse, mare or gelding, l-2
mile, best two in three, with the fol
lowing entries: Lady Rails, Brown
Dick and Queen OFT. Queen Ott
won the first heat by a length as
Brown Dick was three lengths behind
when they started.
The second heat was won by Brown
Dick, by four feet, and it was the
pret.iest 4 C We ever saw. Coming
around the turn, on the home stretch,
Brown Dick and Queen OFT were
neck and neck, with the latter in tho
lead, and when within about so fee
of the wire, Brown Dicks rider seem
ed to raise him off the ground ant
brought him in winner by a neck.
