W. W. Fry, ESQ.,, of Mexico, sends
his card out this week as a candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney in Audrain
county subject to the decision of the
Democratic party. His studious
habits, close application to business,
coupled with his unusual experience
in criminal cases give him a peculiar
fitness for the Office which his true
merit ought certainly to win for him.
Our personal acquaintance with him
has given us a chance to learn how
carefully he has studied his profess
sion and we can heartily assure every
voter whether democrat, greenbacker
or republican that they viii be faith
fully served if he is elected.-Wells-

Farewell SOng''.. Class
Benediction.. Elder J.. A. Headington
We regret that we have not the
space this week to be personal in our
review-but We would have to say the
same thing about all. Every n did
well more than well, and were re-
warded with applause and flowers
without stint. The Bairds, we think,
ought to be congratulated on the
fio%urishing condition of the college
which is without a peer and is the
"Vassar of the West" They are
untiring in their energy and zeal to
make the college the best of its kind
and are succeeding in a way to please
all friends of the institution. AL
though the college is yet in its infancy
it is doing a work that is not rivaled
by that of older institutions. It's
prospects are even brighter than v e
The faculty next season will be COM
plete in every particular and consist
OF the best talent to be found any
where. The new addition will be
completed by September, and then
there will be ample room for every
department. We are glad to see that
Mexico and adjoining towns are ap-
preciating II college, and every
friend should never let an oppcrtuuni-
ty pass to speak a good word for it.
1t is the pride of Mexico and all take
pleasure in forwarding its every in
terest.

pays to raise good ones. Mr.. Wilson

Geo. W. BattcrtOn for Representative Of
Audrain County.
Our neighbOr and friend, Geo. w. Bat
terton, Esq, of Sailing township, has an
nOunced himself as a candidate to repre-
sent Audrain county in the 32nd General
Assembly of the State of Missouri. This
step on the part of Mr.. Batterton was in
duced, by the fact that there seems to be a
general disposition throughout the county
to concede this Office to Sailing township
this time, and by the solicitations of many
friends in various parts of the county.
We have known Mr.. Batterton personally
for many years and feel perfectly free in
saying that We believe he will make a good
representative. 1t is true he has NO leg
islative experience, but he is a man pos
sessed of a well balanced mind, mature
judgment, conservative in disposition,
affable and pies SAINT in manner, good
moral character, and of unquestioned de-
mocracy, and we believe the interests of
the people would be entirely safe in his
hands. We believe Mr.. Batterton can Sc
cure the nomination If his friends in the
western end of the county will give him
their earnest support.-Sturgeon Leader.
