Mr.. G. w. Batterton, of Audrain,
while in Warrenton Saturday called
at our office. Mr.. Batterton is an in
telligent gentleman, quite an interest
ing talker and fully alive to the i'm
portance Of Democrats putting for
ward their ablest men for Congress
throughout the State. He deems
Judge Buckner the proper man for
us of the new seventh. Mr.. Batter
ton is not a supporter Of Judge Buck
ner on personal grounds, but supports
him because of his preeminent fitness
for the position. The men who think
as Mr.. Batterton does will be found
to be greatly in the majority before
the congressional convention assem-
bles.-Warrenton BtDaner.

False Farberite.

We have been reliably informed
that W. c. Dempsey, of Farber, has
deserted his wife and family, leaving
them in destitute circumstances.
Mrs. Dempsey's father, Mr.. Mcneil
son, Of Auburn, Lincoln county, sent
for her and her three children and will
provide for them. If he should hap
pen to meet Dempsey he would pro-
vide for him in another manner we
presume. The weather around Far
ber, we think, will be too warm in the
future for Mr.. Dempsey. A mar
that will forsake his family in this
way deserves to go out of town with
out any exertion of his own.

TRULY VALUABLE.
The Famous Cough Remedy, Marsh's
Golden Bslssm, has Aeae Wonders.

sfYour Golden Balsam is truly valua-
BILE medicine. Il has done wonders for
ne. had = severe spell of pneumonia
and was confined to my room for several
months. When got able to be out of
doors, my lungs were weak, with general
prostration Of my system and very sore
throat and hard cough. You gave me a
bottle Of your Balsam on trial, which
very much relieved my throat and cough,
and after taking two bottles I was able to
attend to my business. My lungs have
always been weak. Ny father, mother
and all Of my brothers and only sister, and
most of near relatives died with Con-
sumption. I have taken FIVE large bottles
of your Golden Balsam, and can cheer
fully recommend it to all suffering with
hard cough, or weak lungs ."-SiIneor

Hardin College Alumu@.

We notice that the Alumna of Har-
din College are going to have their
annual reunion at the Central Hotel.
We think, by all means, this re-un-
ion should have been at Hardin Col
lege-in the parlors, rooms and halls
where they received their education.
A reunion Of an Alumn@ anywhere
but at the Alma Mater strikes us as
would the play of Hamlet without
Hamlet. We can conceive not a sin
gle reason for this new departure.
We may be accused of attending to
what does not concern US. but while on
this subject we also express our sur
prise that the young ladies are not
going to invite any one to their re-un-
ion except the Alumne themselves
and the Faculty. We are informed
that even the board of the college
will not be expected. II the gradu-
ates of the college were SO numerous
that the parlors could not contain
their friends in addition to them
selves the matter would be different.
But Hardin College is comparatively
a young institution with bright fu-
ture, and with a host Of friends who
should not be overlooked in this way
without good cause. The young gen.
tlemen Of Mexico, who are always so
gallant in entertaining their lady
friends, feel badly to think that on this
occasion they are to be entirely for
gotten. Perhaps we have looked at
the matter only from one standpoint,
but what we have said has been out
Of desire to have everything con-
nected with Hardin College an un-
qualified success.

No Excuse.


Perhaps the Greenback party can sug-
gest an excuse for its existence, but to
the general student of politics there never
was anything more utterly without a
purpose. Before the restoration of bus
iness activity and the appreciation of the
government securities and currency, the
Greenback heresies were Ineligible, as
the natural outcroppings Of popular dis
content and ignorance. To-day, however,
there is nothing in the financial condition
of the country to stimulate favor for fat
money, while all the reasonable and
worthy reforms which the Greenback
party pretends to champion can be best
accomplished by Democratic victory.
The Greenback party is therefore only an
obstacle in the way of its own pretended
purposes and can in no manner so well
help the cause it assumes to champion
as by its own dissolution.

New School Law.

We call attention to the following
substitute for section 7O49 of revised
statutes which makes it the duty of
district directors and city school
boards to cause an enumeration of the
names of white and colored youth,
noting therein separately between the
ages of six and twenty years, resi-
dent in districts and cities with q
designation of their sexes, and an al
phabetical list of resident taxpayers,
to be made between the 31st of May
and the 10Th of June of each year and
forwarded to the clerk of the county
court and the county school commits

The Golden Troupe.

The Goldens, who have always been
favorites in Mexico, have delighted
crowded houses for the last three
nights. They have now disbanded and
gone home for the summer. Our
people have become endeared to them
and we speak the wish Of our theater
going people when we say ''come
again. Mr.. Golden understands
the wants of the people and always
presents to them only such pieces
as are attractive, chaste, entertaining
and instructive, combined with good
order on and off the stage, makes an
evenings entertainment worthy the
presence of any one.

CONTEST FOR COLLECTORSHIP.
Major Lawder Defends Himself and
Shows Up Stewart.

Special Dispatch to the Ledger. -
WASHINGTON CITY, May 24.-Major r.
f. Lawder, Collector of Revenue for the
4th District of Missouri, and who has his
central office at Mexico, is here, and to-
day filed brief Of charges against David
A. Stewart, who was nominated by Presi-
dent Arthur to succeed him. Lawder
claims that his Office has never been rated
less than one-half below No. /, and most
always No. L; in brief, no Office of his
character anywhere ranks better than his,
and that he has often been complimented
by the department for care and skill dis
played in the management of the office.
Agent Spalding said in 1880: I desire to
state that Mr. Lawder impresses me as a
man with peculiar fitness for his position;
clear headed, prompt and decisive; good
business ability and devoting his entire
time to the regular routine of Office duties
Acting Commissioner Rogers, wrote a
letter to the latter in 1880 in which he
said: "The average grade of your district
is first-class according to the scale of
merits for the efficiency, knowledge of
duty, vigilence and fidelity displayed by
myself and generally by other officers in
bringing your district to this degree of
excellence. Please accept my thanks and
congratulations" In his statement Mai
Lawder has much to say concerning the
administration of the Office under his
predecessor. He quotes from reports In
which the Office was then graded lower.
He also charges that the collector and his
son conspired with certain parties to OBJ
struct and defeat the United States in the
collection of certain taxes. He also
charges that D. A. Stewart is not citi-
zen of the Fourth collection district Of
Missouri; that he has been for some time
past residing and doing business in Kan
sas City, returning to the Fourth district
a few months since for the purpose of
making application for the position of
collector of the district, and has publicly
announced his intentions to return to
Kansas City, should he fail to secure the
appointment as collector. The only
ground ON which Lawder can be removed
is because he is not stalwart. Lawder
has always been republican, but never a
bitter fanatic. Guiteau did it with his
little gun
