LADDONIA LAcOsICs.

Correspondence Of the Ledger.
LADDoMA, Oct. 26th.-A game Of
base ball was played here last Sat.
urday, which was the chief sttrac.
ton for many Of the visitors in town.
Bruton and Scanland had an auc-
ton OF goods and they sold very low,
though the a~uctioneer, Col. Quisen-
bury, did his best for high prices.
The fast horses owned by Dr.. Van
deventer and druggist Grey were
run here Saturday to the amusement
OF many people.
James L. Hendrick and William
Kenen, of Bowling Green, were here
last Thursday buying corn in the
field to feed to cattle. The Pike
county people know where to come
for corn and they have long since
learned that the prairies here are
more productive than those surround
ing Bowling Green.
We can hardly realize this fine
weather that We are on the eve OF
winter. Why, only a few days since
little Leila Pierson brought us some
nice blackberries that she had Just
gathered off the bushes.
A few days since we were in Rush
Hill, and, riding by q business house,
We noticed the following sign; "In
God We trust; no tick, no bust no
trust no bust" Rush Hill has be-
come noted as the place where many
live without sin. The Holiness peo-
pie could not, with their views of re-
.ligion, have their church insured, and
so when it was burned they lost all.
They hold meetings at family resi-
dences. We hear that Rush Hill
will soon have another church.
The protracted meeting in prog
ress here grows in interest. There
has been seven additions to the
church. On Sunday night many
left the church unable to get seats.
Rev. Bib is assisted this week by
Rev. Bowles Of Montgomery City.
Prof. Farmer, in company with Mr..
Rifle, has just opened q nice jewelry
store. The Prof. is now leader Of
the band and we have some excel
lent music most every night.
A protracted meeting is in prog
ress at "Wesley Chapel" conducted
by Rev. w. F. Travis and Alonzo
Pierson. Many Laddonians we're
out there Sunday to attend the meet
ing.
Two negro men got into q quarrel
last night, one drew a pistol on the
other, and now they are arrested and
will be before Squire Gilliland's court
for trial.
Miss Cora Grouse, of Curryville,
was visiting Miss Nettie Reid last
week.
Mrs. Mary Wilson is visiting her
sister, Mrs. d. p. Moore.
Mrs. Landrum, mother Of the Land
runs here, is visiting her children
in this vicinity.
The skating rink had many visitors
last Saturday night.
Charley Swift was home IN q visit
Sunday. Says he is well pleased
with the Perry school.
Laddonia bids fair to be the bust.

winter.

is visiting in town this week.

RUSH HILL RACKET.
CORRESPONDENTS Of the Ledger.

CORRESPONDENTS OF the Ledger.
RUSH Hill, October ~. Mr..
Charles Stewart, after an absence Of
several weeks on q visit to his former
home in Ohio, is back and looking
we'll He has opened his Office in
the room formerly used as the post
| Office.
Mr.. @. R. Stamford, living two
miles northeast Of Mexico, had his
house broken into Saturday and q
number of articles stolen, consisting
of a revolver, pair of shoes, pocket
book without money! and several
fine gold rings. When MI. Stamford
returned and found his house had
been robbed he started in pursuit of
the thieves, tracked them to the Vi
cinity of Rush Hill and lost them.
He came to town and reported the
facts. Mr. Underwood and Mr..
Bently mounted their horses and soon
got track Of the thieves about two
miles east of town. They we're two
boys. aged II and IS, and gave their
names as James Blackman and James
Richards, from Champaign county,
Ill. They were arrested. Most of
the prope:ty was found on their per-
SONS. They were brought before
Squire Doolin and pleaded guilty to
the charge of house-breaking and
robbery, and in default Of $500 bond
were committed to the county Jail.
Mr.. Thomas Duty is building q
new house on the farm lately pur-
chased of Mr.. Davis, three miles
southeast Of town.
The Rush Hill select school 10
prospecting finely. The Misses Clark
are much encouraged and expect by
another year to have their rooms all
filed.
Mr.. Asa Underwood is moving back
to his farm near Worcester. Mr.. u.
is an active, wide-awake business man
and we r sorry to lose him from
Rush Hill.
A few days ago Mr.. Peter Sicily
was in town and was telling Of some
large squashes his wife had raised,
She planted the seed after the worms
had destroyed her cabbage. He said
he thought he could select twelve
that would weigh one thousand
pounds. Some Of his friends laugh
ed at him for his extravagant asser-
tons. The next day he brought in
twelve and they weighed 97S pounds.
A pretty good guess. Six Of these
squashes grew On n vine.
MI. Reusch and family have re-
turned from a pleasant visit to Jones'
burg.
It is recorded in the Bible that
Lofts wife looked back and was
turned into a pillar Of salt. In this
case it is MI. Lott that seems to have
become discouraged and longs to re-
turn. Lott contracted to move Sab
| both Home church to Rush Hill he
got it nearly a quarter of a mile but
found it was a bigger job than be
supposed and has commenced to
move it back. He looks pretty
"salty."
The newly appointed postmaster,
Mr.. A. H. Boyd, has taken charge
and moved the Office to his store.
Nothing has been heard Of the
deer hunters that left Rush Hill some
ten days ago, 1t is reported they
have started a drug store down south
of the river. We don't believe it,
and expect to have a ham of venison
in a few days.
Earnest inquiry is being made to
ascertain what has become of the
young drug clerk who has been miss.
ing the last two weeks. MIzPAH.

Sheriff Atchison returned Monday
from Wellsville, where he had been
in company with Irwin Sims, to look
after a bunch Of cattle lost by the
latter and supposed to be there. The
telegram was sent by an old Ger

the lost cattle, but when questioned
closely said he had only seen three
Finally he got down to one steer
Then the sheriff and Mr.. Sims rode
out in the country with the German
and even one steer was not found
They then came to the conclusion
that, instead of being a cattle hunt,
they were on a "wild goose chase"
