THOMPSON STATION. Feb. 9. 80

THOMPSON STATION, Feb. 9, 80.
Ed. LEDGER: As the republic of
Wilson deserves to be placed among
the rest Of our townships in repre-
sentation, and the LEDGER is on
friendly terms with US, why not give
her a boom; all that is required to
give her one is just to tell the whole
story and she has got it.
Thompson Station, the capital of
our republic, is 5 1-2 miles west of
Mexico, on the Wabash, St. L. &
Pacific railroad. We have two stores
in full blast, postoffice, blacksmiths
and wagon makers shops, all dong
a lively business tive corn buyers,
and just look down Main street and
see the corn, its enough to astonish
the natives. Mr.. R. H. Smith in
forms us that he has bought about
six thousand barrels up to date, and
Mr.. John Hisey has bought as much
and none of it -as hauled more than
five miles and was raised principally
ncrtl and west of Thompson. Who
says we don't raise anything in the
republic Of Wilson? Corn is the
hest circulating medium we have had
for sometime and You bet our tarnl-
ers are happy and will take fresh
courage, with our shoulders to the
wheel and our county out Of debt, we
will yet realize those blessings which
are bestowed on a resolute and in
dustrious community. Mr.. J. NJ.
Daniel shipped a Car load Of cattle to
st. Louis last week and received a
gond price for the same. Mr.. Geo.
Ridgway is feeding about 100 head
of cattle, which will be shipped some
time in May, and many others are
feeding small lots in different parts
OF the republic. Our farmers are
preparing to SOW oats and some are
blowing for corn every day the ground
is not frozen.
Mr.. T. T. Campbell and Miss
Annie Murphy were married on last
evening by the Rev. j. Pearce, OF
Mexico. Several sick, but none con-
siderea dangerous.
Happy to hear that the LEDGER
man Is we'll and at his post.
