Odd Fellows Pic Mic.

the Editor of the ID
MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. 1Sth.-1t was
the pleasure of the writer, n day
last week, to attend the Odd Fellows
pic mic held at the Randolph Medical
Springs. The weather "a all that
one could desire, and aided materially
in the enjoyment Of the occasion. A
special train brought the lodge from
Glasgow and Salisbury, and in addi-
ticn were representatives and visitors
from the immediate neighborhood
and from Huntsville, Moberly, Mex
leo, Brunswick and Carrollton, max
ing a crowd of not less than five hun
bred.
The morning was spent in drinking
from the now famous springs, bath
ing, swinging, wandering over the
grounds and in social intercourse !; in
fact, in any n the individual
visitor preferred. At the hour OF
dinner, many ate from the excellent
table of the hotel, but by far the
greater portion gathered in the shade
under the trees and dined in the rus
tic style of the genuine pic mic. Al
ter dinner addresses were made, and
toward evening the happy throng
separated, going to their different
homes delighted with the days pleas
ure and expressing a hope and de-
sire of repeating it next year.
But the main attraction at this
place was the springs themselves
and yet there is nothing novel in see,
ing a mineral spring. They are
found everywhere and every day is
adding to their number. If the flu
ture shall prove as prolific in locating
them as the recent past, a farm with
out it's mineral spring will be a curl
osity. But springs, like men, may
be good, bad or Indifferent SO il
seems to be a duty one owe to the
public to publish a good one. The
Randolph springs will take ranl
among the best. 1t is only yester
day, comparatively speaking, tina
they were discovered, and already
they haye a reputation that some O.
the older health resorts naturally en-
Wy. The sulphur spring flows from
an artesian well nearly a thousant
feet deep. An analysis of the waite
reveals the properties suited to tn
cure of all manner of skin diseases
dyspepsia, stomach and kidney com
plications and all forms of liver com
plant. Experiment has more thai
verified the promise contained in tn
analysis. A short distance from tn
we'll is a salt spring flowing at til
rate of $4,000 gallons per day, an
baths in this are said to equal thos
in sea water.
Connected with the grounds is
irst-class hotel in which the bed
are clean, the food well cooked an
served and everything comfortabl
and homelike. Mr.. r. NJ. Scot
the manager of the hotel. and his Ii
dy are untiring in their efforts to adj
/ to the comfort of visitors. To thos
t seeking a health resort, we cheerful
and confidently recommend the RAJ

Mr.. SpOOpendyke's Search.

"Oh, dear!" grunted Mrs. Spoop-
endyke, "I'm SURF I'm going to die!"
and the good woman topped over in
the bed and contemplated her hus-
band with a pale face and a look of
general debility. "You will be good
to baby, won't you, dear?"
"Oh, ho!" returned Mr.. Spoopen-
dyke, pounding her tenderly on the
head with his big hand. "You're all
right. Bear up against it, and you'll
be we'll in an hour or two. I've often
had the cholera morbus, but you never
see me give up like this. Where's
the ginger?"
II don't know" moaned Mrs.
Spoopendyke. "Look on the top
shelf Of the closet. If it isn't there,
try the bottom drawer of the ward
robe: or it may be in the pantry.
Ow-w!" and Mrs. Spoopendyke doub-
led up and Strengthened out with a
jerk.
"You cant remember any other
Congressional districts represented by
that ginger, can your" growled MI.
Spoopendyke, prowling around the
| room in an aimless but energetic fash
ion. ''You don't call to mind a
couple more roosting-places in which
that ginger is to be found, do you?
Whereabouts on the top shelf?" and
Mr.. Spoopendyke ratified around
among the old bottles and empty pill
boxes. "Look here! I've found that
court plaster 1 wanted day before
yesterday" and more than gratified
with his find Mr.. Spoopendyke utterly
forgot the original object of his
search.
"You'n send baby to a good school.
and see that she marries happily.

adapting a woman's style Of limiting
that the ginger would be acceptable
"And you'll bury me by my mother!'
"Certainly," replied Mr.. Spoopen
dyke, immersed in the contemplation
of the court plaster. "Where's tn
sheet of flesh color that was here?'
he demanded. II don't seem to de
tect the presence Of that particula
element of adhesiveness! Where
the flesh colored portion Of this cura
tive?" and Mr.. Spoopendyke ran owe
the little squares again in a vail
search for the piece he missed.
"Did you look in the wardrobe

Spoopendyke, raking over the con
tents of the drawer and turning Their
