Near the close of the late canvass

Audrain candidates paid Tom Carter
for the publication of certain news
paper extracts and other articles.
Carter pocketed the money, and then
t~elegraphed particulars to the candi-
dates opponents at Mexico.-Centra

The above is a grave charge and
our attention has been called to it by
interested parties. We are 10th to
think our friend Carter would dc
such an unp~rofessional thing, and We
are also 10th to think the Guard would
make such a grave charge without
ground. Will brother Carter rist

FROM LADDONIA.
Correspondence of the Ledger.

correspondence OF the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, September I1.-Jas. Clark
has gone to Kansas City to take charge of
a shoe store.
Prof. Logan is building a very neat
house for a drug store.
James Able is laying the foundation for
a new dwelling.
The "sanctified' meeting closed last
Thursday with about forty additions to
their number. 1t was held about five
miles southwest of here, and was well
attended by the Laddonians; but none of
them were sanetifed, while Rush Hill
were nearly all sanctifed, showing that
''garlic and onions'' still remain in Lad
donna. On the last night of the meeting
a horse driven by two ladies broke loose
and went two miles on the road towards
home, with buggy and harness all sound
when found.
Died: Johnnie, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Snedaker, of Inflammation of stomach. He
was a favorite boy, and will be greatly
missed by the family and friends. Elder
G. Smith preached the funeral sermon.
DR.. Banks is quite sick; also Mrs. B.
wager.
John and A. L. Bryarly are in town
Theyare building H. Logan's house.
DIR. WEIGH has rented a house from Jas
Gillfland, and will move to town.
We hear many inquiries in regard to
what became of Miss Alvira Orr. Die
she die, or was she taken away? The
people living near Mr.. Uzzell's say If she
died they know nothing about it. Poor
unfortunate girl-no friend, 40 home, nc
character; deserted by all humanity
even a mothers love refusing to help hel
in the hour of sorrow and trouble. Ani
the man that helped to bring this sorrow
upon her-where is he? He is free from
all law; yet, if he has a particle of man
hood in him, he should feel that the great
est thief in the penitentiary is far bette
than he is.
Next Monday the Laddonia schoo
opens.
The Republicans met last Saturda.
and appointed Capt. Cook, B. H. Wilder

Making n Passenger "Git."

A justice of the peace in Fulton
had a case before him some days ago
in which the defendant, who had been
arrested as a suspicious character,
and pleaded guilty, was sent to the PEN
itentiary for two years. A constable
took him in charge to deliver him
there, and as the man seemed rather
pleased at the idea of securing board
and lodgings for two years he was not
h~andcuffed. As the train was about
ready to 60 the constable moved
across the aisle to talk politics with a
friend, and pretty soon they were
having it hot and heavy. When
Conductor Paullin came in for tickets
he held out his hand to the prisoner,
and the latter shook his head and
replied:
81 don't pay fare
"Aha? You don't, Ell! Well, now,
you pay OF git!'
81 won't pay!"
''Then you'll git! When We slack
up at the csal bank you jump off. If
l find you Oh the train after we pass
there I'll give you a bounce that you
won't forget!'.
In two minutes the train began to
slow, and the prisoner walked to the
door and picked a soft spot and
dropped off. When the train had
made another mile the conductor held
out his hand to the constable and re-
ceived two tickets.
"Who is the extra one for?' he
asked.
"For that prisoner over there"
What prisoner"
"Why, that fell-!"
Then there was raving and gnash-
ing of teeth and hurrying up and
down, but it was no use.
"Sorry," said Paulfin as he passed
along, ''but when a passenger says
he won't pay fare on my train 1 give
him the drop. The only thing that
surprised me was to see how willingly
he obeyed orders"

Shooting

The shooting tournament in Next
co last week, under the management
of the Mexico gun club, vas a sue
cess. 1t lasted two days and rare
sport was enjoyed. Good shots were
present from Fulton, Moberly, Rem
lex, Bowling Green, Slater, Thomp-
son Station, Miami and other points
in Central Missouri. The money was
pretty well divided up. The Mexico
boys shot well and got their share.
Main, of Fulton, was the best shot on
the grounds and is, perhaps, the best
shot in the State. Live pigeons, clay
pigeons and glass balls we're all IN
dulged in. r. NJ. White was referee /;
Tony Buckner, scorer E. r. Locke,
treasurer. Such shoots should be
gotten up often. They bring stran-
gers here, furnish sport and practice
and advertise Mexico as a live, 60
ahead town,

know him, both in and out of his

departure, and the sincere wish of
one and all is that his lines may be

AS will be seen by a communica-

Clark & Son have inaugurated a plan
to bring land buyers to Audrain.
Their motive in getting up these ex-
cursions is to bring the buyer and
seller together at the least possible
expense. Amy one in Audrain or adj
joining counties who has a farm OF
dwelling house for sale will do well to
call on j. P. Clark & Son, as they
are now prepared to negotiate with
you. They now have a large number
of buyers who are prepared to pur-
chase lands and settle in Audrain.
