LADDoNIA, Mo-, March 10, 1880.
EDITOR LEDGER: Has winter been
paying you Il visit? lie came here
last Friday in all his terror, bringing
the coolest snow VIC ever saw. As it
began to fall, we gathered pen, ink
and paper and began writing ''beauti-
full snow but before We finished the
ink froze, and it seemed to us the pa
per did likewise, and We never fin
ished our poem. All, how many good
thoughts are frozen, and many bright,
happy Ies turned to icicles by the
cold, wintry treatment received by
the worlds cold blasts. When the
world is really beautiful and all should
be happy, often the darkest clouds
come, and make towards out of the
bravest of us towards that are afraid
to battle for right, to live down sus-
picion, to help the erring and to be
true men and women. Popular
ity whispers in our ears we heed its
voice, and our first aim is to make
ourselves appear right before the
world, TO be tyrants owe the smaller
fish," to be suspicious, buy and sell
friendship, and to give sharp and cut
ting remarks to the lesser lights and,
finally, this treatment brings the
winter Of the heart" to their poor
victims, and they give up trying to
battle the difficulties they meet. Well,
| why rehcarse 1t? Such is life.
The lyceum was a grand success
last Friday night. The pieces Sc
lected for reading by Miss Kate Wilder
were we'll chosen, and listened to with
the profoundest attention. The dec
lamation, by Willie Woods, "Antho-
ny's address to the Romans" with all
its variations, was both pathetic and
laughable. The debate, Resolved,
That capital punishment should be
abolished,' was handled by Messrs.
Cook and Kennen in the affirmative,
and Judge Wilder and E. S. Andrist
in the negative. They had a lively
discussion, the judges deciding one
for affirmative and two for negative.
The programme for next Friday con-
sists of readings, paper, music, deela-
nations and debate. Question, IRE
solved, That money has more power
over the masses of mankind than any
other object in the universe" All
should attend that wish to spend 8
pleasant evening. IT'S a sad truth
that money will buy most everything
and everybody. 1t buys thoughts
opinions, love, friendship and ever
life itself.

The executive committee OF the
St. Louis Immigration Society has

subject of immigration, to be COM
posed of two or more delegates from
each county of the State, and have
fixed the time for the meeting Oh the
18th of April next, and the place at

that this convention will accomplish
great good for the State at large, as
its proceedings, essays, addresses, DC =,
| will be published, thus advertising and
making known throughout this coun-
try aud Europe the vast resources OF
this State, and the great inducements
here offered to immigrants to seek
cheap and desirable homes. No ar
gument is needed to convince us OF
the advantages of immigration-that
is conceded nay more, il we would
keep pace with our neighboring states
in the grand march of Improvement,
wealth and political influence, we
must have immigration. The com
mittee have requested me to take
steps to organize a county immlgra-
ton society, with a view of carrying
on by the means of cooperation with
a general organization move effective
ly this great work. For this purpose,
therefore, and especially for the pur'
pose of selecting delegates to attend
the convention on the 18th of April.
l earnestly request all citizens in thu
county, who can do so, to meet at the
court house on Monday, the 22he
