There is nc town the size OF Mexi-
that has a better job Office than
the Mexico LEDGER. We have the
best presses made We have the
latest styles Of type, and every time
a new ''font'' is brought out we pro-
cure it at once. We don't think it
pays to run a printing office on a
close, niggardly plan, and for this
reason We always keep to the front
and the patrons of this Office will al
ways get the best there is to be had
in the way Of printing. In addition
to this we not onlyhave the best com.
p%ositors but We have, If not the best,
one of the best job printers that car
be found anywhere. The foreman
of our job rooms, B. B. Runkle, can
not be beat. WewiIl put him against
any printer from anywhere in a con
test for the neatest and best jol

work need no guarantee that he turns
out none but good work. Samples
taken carelessly from the common

Crop Report for Missouri.


We have reports from wei two hundred
points in Missouri, and with exception of
three or four which are less favorable,
they all indicate that never before were
wheat prospects 81 promising at this
season of the year. The late cool weather
has checked the rank growth, and at the
same time has put a stop to the progress
of the chinch bugs, of which there are
quite a number, but they have thus far
done no injury. Army worms have ap-
peared in southeastern counties, but have
done no damage yet. At one point Hes
sian flies have shown themselves, but in
too small numbers to cause damage; nor
has rust done any injury. Wheat is now
heading out, and the generally expressed
opinion is that wheat is too far advanced
to suffer by insects of any kind eve il
young chich bugs should appear, which
seems very improbable after the recent,
wet weather. The acreage of wheat sown
is much larger than was harvested last
season. Harvesting begins early in June,
if weather is favorable. Corn is about
all planted, and the southern and central
counties show a very good standing fol
this time of year. In some sections II
has received two plowings. Cool weather
has kept it backward somewhat, but or
the whole it looks very well. The acreage
plant is larger than 1881. No fears Of
damage by chinch bugs seems anticipated
unless the weather during June should bt
very hot and dry. Oats acreage larger
The crop looks exceedingly well. Will
good weather harvesting will begin dur
ing first days Of June. Small fruit an.
apples promise to do very well. Peaches
appear less plentiful. Meadows ant
stock doing well. Farmers well up il
their work and in fine spirits.
