Our Public School.

Last Friday evening a pleasant
feature OF the Public School exhibit
ton was the presentation Of the
works of Hawthorne by the teachers
of the school to Prof. j. P. Blanton,
principal of the school, in a neat lit
tie speech by Prof. James Trimble.
Prof. Blanton highly appreciated
this mark Of regard coming from his
co-workers in the school. We don't
suppose any school in the State has
a better corpse Of teachers. Every
one seems fitted for his or her par
ticular department and all working
tremendously together for the best
interests of the whole school. Prof.
Blanton is universally recognized as
Of fine executive ability, and assisted
by able teachers he has brought our
public school up to the standard that
has no superior in the State, not ex-
cepting st. Louis. Where men of fine
executive ability and finished schol-
arship are wanted to fill high posi-
lions in our normal schools and I'm
iversity, the managers of such in
stitutions need 60 no farther than
Mexico to find a man to fill any po-
sition that requires such qualities.

One of the most enjoyable of the
Christmas festivities this seaso was
given last evening at the residence of
Judge James E. Ross, in the charac-
ter of a sheet and pillow-case party.
At 8 o'clock the gay masquers be-
gan to fill the elegant parlors, and by
the hour of nine there were about
twenty-five or thirty couples present.
At 10 all unmasked, and were invited
by the hostess into the dining hall,
where IVES spread before them all the
d~elicacies of the season, to which all
did ample justice. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ross, assisted by their charming and
accomplished daughters, Misses May
and Eta, did all in their power to
make everyone enjoy themselves, and
their efforts were crowned with much
success. At ~ the guests departed
for their respective homes, all con-
graduating themselves upon being
present on this joyous occasion, and
wishing the Judge and his family O
merry Christmas and a happy New
Year.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
IANTHA, Me-, Dec. 27.-Thinking
YOU would like to hear from this part
of the country, l will write you few
lines. 1t has been raining for TWEEN
ty-four hours and the prospect is good
for that much longer. We have had
fine weather, stock is looking we'll
and wheat is doing finely. We have
two railroads through this county.
We have a small town miles and a
school within one mile with sixty
scholars enrolled. The county seat
is a thriving town of about 1000
inhabitants. The county has some
fine lands and is well wa:ered.
Wishing you and my many friends
a merry Christmas, l remain, yours
truly, L. 5. PEARSON.

of Mexico on Friday evening, Dec.
80, at which time Raymond's Jubilee
Singers will appear at the opera house.
The company has, in the last two
years, travelled the greater portion of
the country over, and has everywhere
been regarded as the hest and most
original organization in the line OF
negro m~instrelsy. The company is
strong in musical talent, and will in
troduce their quaint and humorous
songs, sacred hymns, camp-meetlng
shoutings and uproarous negro &C.
centricities, etc., in which they are
unrivalled. Let all who want to be
uaU entertained attend.

The Paris, Mo-, papers have come

The Paris, Mo-, papers have come
down to 81 per year. They are good
papers, but their editors have made
agreat mistake. They cannot make
a living and pay their debts publish
ing a paper at 81 per year. We
know what we are talking about when

say that no country newspaper
can be run on a paying basis and
publish a paper for less than $1.5O per

Mexico weekly ledger., 1881-12-29

The professional men of every
town have more or less favors to ex-
pect and sometimes ask from their
local papers. They should, at least,
support them by subscribing. A
newspaper is expected to do all it
can for Its town, its party, its church
and the rest of mankind. The men
who expect the most from a newspa-
per and who find the most fault are
those who do not even pay $3.50 per
year for the paper.

The exhibition given last Friday
night by the members of the high
school department of the public
school was, as usual, a success.
Each and every performer showed
clearly that Miss Greenwood's drill
for the past few days had not been
in vain. Our public school exhibit
tions always have crowded houses
and the people are always pleased.

ssAll railroad bridges are more G

''All railroad bridges are more or
less dangerous" remarked a gentle
nan this morning. That is q fact.
All bridges are dangerous, and all
railroads are dangerous. All wagon
roads are dangerous, and all wagons
are dangerous. You are in danger
while you are in bed. More men die
in bed, than travel on railroads.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES---RE-
PUBLICAN POLICIES.

PUBLICAN POLICIES.
The committees selected for the
House by Speaker Keifer have at last
been announced, and from their CON-
position the country has something
to Judge from of the policies of Con-
gress after the holidays. There
ought to be a reduction Of taxa
ton. The country ought to insist
on that. The proposition to add
$40, OOO, 900 to last years burdens
ought to be booted. Unless this
shall be done it is impossible to fore
cast where the present congress will
stop in its exactions. The make up
of the committees of the House seems
to be especially unfortunate. Prom
inent Democrats disposed to curtail
expenditures have been placed In
positions on them where they can
exercise little influence ever as
checks. The majority of the COM
mittee on appropriations is composed
of men that glory in spending other
peoples money.
1t is now quite evident that even
those that advocate reduction of tax
alton, are going to quarrel over the
proper means of accomplishing it.
This disagreement necessarily stands
in the way of reform, even if the
committees did not block it. 1t is
doubtful if even a proposition to re-
duce the tariff moderately. until s
ylan for its revision can be carried
will meet with general approval. Il
is almost universally agreed that al
excise duties ought to be reduced
largely, but some think that to de
this would put an argument into thu
hands of the protectionists. Bott
the tariff and excise rates ought t.
be reduced. To abolish the lnterna
revenue and to lower the tariff, is tn
quickest and safest road to needed
reform !; but in the conflict OF opinion
that either the one or the other ough
to be maintained, there is DANCE
that nothing will be done. Anothe
obstacle to popular relief is the enol
nous increase of the pension list
And added to this comes a proposi
ton not to increase our national ship
but absolutely to obstruct a new an
formidable navy. Republican ter
dency to prodigality was neve
greater. That party controls bot
Houses of Congress. and there is nj
the least probability that their pow'
will be used for their relief.
