Yeaman Tor Crjttendep.

Rev. Pope Yeaman in a letter en-
dorsing Gov. Crittenden for Secretary
of Interior. among other things, says:
The stupendous frauds by which
millions of acres Of the hest govern
ment lands have passed into the hands
of individuals contrary to law, and
without any consideration to the gen.
eraI government needs to be investi-
gated with the greatest scrutiny and
unflinching fidelity to public interests.
That Gov. Crittenden would give to
this branch of the duties OF the Sec
retary Of the Interior his closest at
tention, and bring to 1t that ability
and candor that have characterized
his official attention to the deiicately
complicated interests Of the state, all
candid men feel assured. Equally
well adapted is the Governor to all
the duties of the honorable and re-
sponsible post to which be has been
so generously nominated by the press
of the state and as an humble citi-
zen Iss1ase- the honor of seconding
the nomination.

Christmas is coming and the shops,
stores, &C., are filling up with
Christmas goods to a larger extent
than ever before. A Christmas tree
will be erected at the Christian
church Christmas eve, which will
contain presents for big, little, old
and young. Those attending the
tree, will remember to be orderly in
every respect as no disorder will be
allowed.
Rev. Bibb filed his regular ap-
pointment last Sunday, and preach
ed an able discourse at night. Ed.
Hook will preach at the Christian
church next Sunday at II O'Clock,
and Rev. S. L. Beal, of New York,
will lecture at the same church at
3 O'Clock.
A singing class has been organ
lied, Rev. II. M. Brooks teacher.
The /. 0. O. F. will give grand
ball at Stevens & Mitchell's Hall on
christmas eve. About 400 tickets
have been issued. Prof. Farmer, of
Illinois, will conduct the music for
the occasion. The Prof. has been
employed to teach the Laddonia
band, which is improving nicely.
This bad weather has not stopped
all the new buildings, and we notice
Mr.. Morey wheeling Mr.. Al. Myers
residence down the street. Mr..
Myers will erect a fine two story
dwelling.
The condition of the roads keeps
the farmers from bringing in the
corn. A big corn trade is expected
as soon as the roads are better.
Mr.. J. G. Bruton and family are
visiting at Centralia.
Mrs. Montgomery has brothe,
visiting her.
Mrs. Frank Shell lately returned
from visit to Columbia.
Mrs. Frields who lived near Cuivre
church, has sold her farm to John
Smith, OF this place, and moved here
Several improvements talked of, and
tits thought Laddonia will grow
more the next year than any yea,
previous.
And Mexico failed to improve the
lpark that was given to it! That is
strange! Laddonia would have done
better. Let any of our wealthy citi
zens donate a park to the town, and
see how quickly it will be improved
We have a nice park and under the
management of Judge Wilder, the
trees are kept nicely pruned, and il
two years time we will have parl
equal to any in the country. Poor
old Mexico.
The school will have an exhibition
some time during Christmas week
ALI members of the I. o. G. T. are
requested to attend next Saturda,
night.
Rev. Mcmillan, of the Nj. E. church

Mexico Preacher In Politics.

The Louisiana Press is going for
Elder Walker, formerly of Mexico,
FOR 'speddling fraudulent prohibition
tickets at the polls.'' We think
there must be some mistake. We
don't think Elder Walker would do
such thing-Mexico LEDGER.
The LEDGER certainly could not
have read Elder Walkers explana-
ton co in the Press of November
goth. The Press bad nothing to do
with the ..intentions" of the gentle
man; it had to deal solely with the
outward facts.-Louisiana Press.

Only Ten Days.

At their meeting to-day the Mer-
chants Exchange Beard of Directors
heard the charges brought against E.
D. Graham for assaulting j. W. Car
son On the floor of the Exchange.
Tue Board seemed to believe that
Mr.. Graham was not altogether to
blame, for they punished him for
breaking rule by only suspending
him for ten business days from all
privileges of the floor.-St. Louis
Post Dispatch.
This was the lightest punishment
that the directors could impose. AS
the LEDGER stated at first the affair
did not amount to much and the st.
Louis papers were worse off for news
than the LEDGER to make so much
of il.
