Creamery Meeting.

Saturday afternoon, to consider the
establishment of a creamery in Mex.
leo, MI. I. j. Sims was elected chair.
man, and MI. J. A. Barton secretary.
Mr.. Sims explained that the interests
of the farmer was in raising grass.
Those who raised and grazed grass
prospered, but those who depended
upon grain did not prosper, as all the
experience of Mr.. Sims life showed
him, and the creamery was in that
direction with the further advantage
that it paid cash weekly in place Of
waiting three years for the calf te
grow. Mr.. Hightshoe and Mr.. Leav.

had profted by creameries. The

CAMPAIGN, 1882.
THE LEDGER
TO JANUARY l, 1888,
For ST Cash in Advance.
&~Published for People on Earth!@d a
THE CAMPAIGN.

1t will be seen from the report in
this paper of the recent action OF the
Democratic Central Committee of this
county that the approaching political
campaign is about to be opened.
Never before in history was the i'm
becility of Republicanism more thor
oughly demonstrated than during the
present session of Congress. With
Republican control of both houses
nothing has been done to advance
national interests. With thousands
of bills before them only half a dozen
have become laws, the most impor-
tant of which that concerning revision
of the tariff devolves that duty upon
a body outside of our representatives
and senators to be selected by the
President from among those that have
interests inimical to those of the
public. The Republican party of
to-day is divided and overwhelmed.
1t is no longer capable of directing
our ship of state. 1t is altogether
occupied with intestine feuds over
positions of trust and profit. Such
a condition of affairs furnishes an
opportunity that the democracy Of
the country ought to take advantage
of. The only remedy that a be
suggested for what is transpiring is
return to constitutional methods and
the oversight and proper provision by
Congress for every important interest.
The party to take the proper steps in
this direction is the democracy. 1t
has ever been the party of the Consti-
tuition, and to meet the emergency
that is upon us, it has only to re-
vive and enforce it's historic principles
and methods.
At present there is a great conflict
of personal interest in u midst.
Never before were democratic candl.
dates for offices in the gift of the
people more numerous. The LEDGER
is the friend of all of them-the par
tisan of none. 1t looks forward to
the democratic convention about to
assemble in perfect faith, that it will
select the fittest of those offering tc
manage the affairs of the county an6
when hat is done the favored ones
will have its full and undivided adj
vocacy.
What the LEDGER wishes to impress!
upon the democracy here and else
where is the propriety and necessit.
of a more thorough union and a NOR
hearty concurrence in the decisions O
its representative gatherings. Onl.
by leaving the initiation of prope
measures and the selection of suitabl
candidates to the wise and thoughtful
can victory be secured. Our youn'
men have most at stake. Upon then
devolve the burdens of the campaign
upon which we are entering. LIE
them be true to themselves and a
will be safe.

Audrain Local Politics.. ". Daniel

The campaign for local offices in
Audrain is growing quite warm, and
candidates are industriously inter-
viewing the voters. Quite a number
Of them were in Sturgeon this week
shaking hands with citizens Of Sailing
township as they came into town.
Among the number was Jas. w. Dan
iel, who wants to be Recorder Of
Deeds. We noticed that he received
quite q warm welcome, both by our
citizens as well as by Salingtownites.
In his early youth, Mr.. Daniel went
to school in this place and thus formed
associations that time has not effaced.
Afterwards he spent several years at
the State University, finally settling
in Mexico, where he followed the law
and real estate business. He is a
young man Of fine business qualities
tons, being peculiarly fitted for the
Office in question, as he is q most ex-
cellent penman. He is q brother of
Charley Daniel, the present able Rep
resentatiye Of the county, and who
has . good prospect OF election. Tilt

signed the paper giving the baby up

would have been obvious that a lady
who in searching for the child's
mother and finding her had displayed
talent worthy of the best man on
Pinkerton's force, would not have
failed in the very easy undertaking OF
finding her name after she was run to
earth. So she wasAuestioned further,
but it was useless. The reporter
could learn nothing on this point be-
yond what he had heard already,
that the girls father was in some way
connected with the National bank OF
Mexico. After leaving Mrs. Rackow
it was learned that an oath Of secrecy
had been exacted from one Of the
parties who knew the name, and it is
probable that she was under a similar
pledge.

to be Mrs. Emma Gabrillac who had

AMONG The RIRLE-PIFS.

Fifty Yards in front of the abatis the
pickets were stationed When first the
siege began, picketing was dangerous bust
ness. Both armies were bent on fight, and
picketing meant simply sharp-shooting. As
a consequence, at first the pickets were
posted only at night, so that from midnight
to midnight the poor fellows lay in their
rife-pits under broiling July sun, with
no protection from the intolerabie heat
excepting the scanty shade of q little pine
brush erected overhead, or in front of the
pit as screen There the picket lay, fat
on his face, picking off the enemy's men
whenever he could catch sight of a head or
would he be if, when the long awaited re-
lief came at length, he had no wounds to
show.
But later on, as the siege progressed, this
murderous state of affairs gradually dlsap-
peared. Neither side found it pleasant nor
profitable, and nothing was gained by it.
It decided nothing, and only wasted pow
der and ball. Aud so, gradually, the
pickets on both sides begun to be on quite
friendly terms. 1t was no unusual thing
to see Johnny picket-who would be
posted scarcely hundred yards away, so
near were the hnes-lay down his gun,
wave piece of white paper as signal of
truce, walk out into the neutral ground be-
tween the picket.ines, and meet one of our
own pickets, who, also dropping his gun,
would 90 out to inquire what Johnny might
want to-day.
"Well, Yank, want some coffee, and
I'll trade tobacco for it. y
"Has anyof you fellows back there some
coffee to trade for tobacco? Johnny
Picket here, wants some coffee"
Or, may be he wanted to trade papers,
Richmond Enquirer for New
York Herald or Tribune, 'even
ND and no Odds" Or, he only
wanted to talk about the news of the day
how ''we 'uns whipped you 'uns up the
valley the other day ;" or how ''if we had
Stonewall Jackson yet, we'd be in WASH
ington before winter :" or may be he only
wished to have friendly game of cards
There was a certain chivalrous etiquette
developed through this social intercourse of
deadly foemen, and it was really admir-
able. Seldom was there breach of conf
dence on either side. 1t would have gone
hard with the comrade who should have
ventured to shoot down man in gray who
had left his gun and come out Of his pit
under the sacred protection of piece of
white paper. If disagreement ever &C.
CURED in bartering, or high words arose in
discussion, shots were never fired until due
notice had been given. And l find men.
toned in one of my old army letters that a
general fire along our entire front grew out
OF some disagreement on the picket.line
about trading coffee for tobacco.
