They visited various points of inter-

hedge by the side of the walk and

Of the State. We think a better
grade should have been furnished.
The walk is a good one but in many
places 1t is propped up with clods and
roots, grass and blocks. A good

given. We think by this time that

worth doing at all is worth doing
well. The amount to be raised by

Good Scheme.

n. Schmidt, local agent for Lemp's
brewery, is thinking of getting a pat
ent on a scheme to furnish beer in
Kansas. He proposes to build pipe
through Kansas from Mexico with
branch pipes to each town and a
straw from the branch to each indi-
vidual who desired one. He thought
the law might be evaded as the beer
would thus be kept and sold in Mis-
souri,. The only difficulty the pro-
jector anticipates is obtaining enough
straw, but on account of the uncer-
tain tenor OF Kansas legislation his
proposition, we hear, will likely fall
through.

RUSH HILL RACKET.
Correspondence Of the Ledger.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
RUSH Hill, June 16.-The writer
well remembers the appearance OF
this portion of Audrain county twen-
ty years ago. AT that time it was
almost a wilderness, having only al
few small farms on the creeks of
Littleby and Cuivre. Now, not an
acre of unfenced land in this vicinity
and since that time the c. & A. r. r.
has been built, the towns of Wanda
liza, Farber, Laddonia and Rush Hill
have sprung up. Only four years
ago Rush Hill was laid out and many
predicted that, ON account of its To-
cation, so near to Laddonia, on the
east, and Mexico on the west, it
would be a failure; and those who
have not seen the place within the
last two years, now speak of it as if
composed of four or five dwellings.
For the enlightenment of these we
will state a few facts concerning our
prosperous little town. We have at
present about fifty families with a
population of over two hundred and
fifty.
A neat two. story depot is the first
attraction that presents itself to the
traveller then there r two elevators
each with q corn-mill attached, a large
public school building and rooms re-
Gently completed for a private school,
one church, seven stores, (no saloon)
a livery stable, a lumber yard, brick
kiln and two blacksmith shops. The
secret of our success is that we have
the best farming land in the county
the farmers and the business men OF
the place have the enterprise and
push hal must always win. There
was a meeting at the school house
Saturday evening for the purpose o.
arranging for the incorporation o.
the town, but the rain prevented
good attendance and nothing wa
done. We trust a fairer evening viii
soon be chosen fol taking the neces
sary steps toward this end.
