Correspondence of the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, August 16.-My last
letter was written up North, surround
ed by thousands Of singers and the
preaching of Thomas Harrison. Since
our return everything is so quiet and
the people so dreamy-like that it
makes one feel like they are truly
resting. Should Sam Jones come to
Mexico we think the Laddonians had
better have him come here to awaken
them up. You know tits just between
the busy seasons and they are resting,
planning, dreaming and musing on
the future. Nothing wicked, though,
don't understand it in that light;
and it was not for that we wanted
Sam Jones.
We presume the papers will soon
have to hunt another subject to write
about and eulogize since the burial
of Z. S. Grant. No Il even knows
how truly great one is until he is
dead; they never dream of it while
the subject is in good health and en-
joying life. But as the papers are
through vieing with each other in
their eulogies, we presume smaller
lights will be noticeable.
Since the organization of the White
Apron Club we have another, 1--WE do
not know whether it is to be secret
or not), to be known as the Silk Hat
Association. Mr.. James B. Clark is
pr PRESIDENT and John Freeman vice
president. The membership is small
but grows gradually.
We have not heard how the W. A.
club progresses in the laudable pur-
pose of a street lamp, but presume In
a short time a friendly light will shed
it's rays on all that attend church on
dark nights. We've not heard from
the organ committee lately.
Mr.. Earhart is on a trade with DIR.
Brown; selling the doctor some corner
lots, on which will be built a large
two-story brick 50xS0 feet.
The sick are all better.
Mr.. J. G.. Bruton has about com,
pleted a neat business house on %
street, to be used as millinery store
Many new buildings will be put ur
next fall.
We still want a mill. A town that
sells monthly 10000 pounds of fou1
could certainly support a good mill

SsAnother Democrat

We notice I'll contemporary tries
to bring the Vandalia Leader into
the imbroglio. This worthy paper
says:
Other papers in different parts of
the state have commented upon this
matter, and the general verdict
seems to be that Prosecuting Attor-
ney Buckner has violated his oath of
office, IN accepting railroad passes,
which under a strict Interpretation of
the constitutional provision control
ling this matter, should it be brought
before the proper authorities, will
necessarily enforce a forfeiture of bis
office. 1t is unpleasant that this has
occurred not only because it will
materially injure Mr.. Buckner's rep
utation, personally and politically,
but will not rebound very much to
the credit of the citizens of the coun-
ty nor the party that placed him in
office. We hope Mr.. Buckner may
be enabled to offer explanations that
will mitigate the offense, if an offense
has been committed.

LEXINGTON, KY.-Mr. j. T. Bruce.
of the United States Revenue Col.
lector's Office, informed an editor Of
the Daily Press, of this city, that TO,
seven years he suffered terribly from
rheumatism in his ankle, which most
of the time was swollen to two OF
three times its natural size, and was
so painful hat he could not put bis
foot to the ground. After trying
everything he could think of without
relief, he at ten o'clock one morning
applied st. Jacobs Oil and shortly
afterwards made two further applica.
tons. AT three o'clock that after.
noon the pain was gone; the swell
ing also disappeared and the cure
was as permanent as it was quick.

We will publish Judge G. B. Mac
farlane's letter with pleasure when it
gets to us. 1t was written some time

as will be seen elsewhere we have
been unable to get it. While on this
subject we would like to ask the
Judge a question (not that it cuts
any figure in the case but only to
show the fact) which Tom WON'T
answer: Did Mr.. .Buckner not ask
you for this pass? As soon as we
get the alleged letter We will be glad
to publish it. We hear it is q good
item of news.

Pike County Democrat: We are
in receipt of a polite and pressing in
vitation to attend the Audrain Coun-
ty Teachers Normal institute which
meets in Mexico, Monday, the 18th
inst. An able corps of six compe-
tent instructors has been chosen,
selected almost entirely from teach
ers of the public schools, and a splen-
did programme of exercises has been
arranged. With entire confidence in
the ability of the instructors and the
consciousness that their work is in
teded to benefit them and not merely
to receive their money, the teachers
of Audrain will attend the institute
In large numbers and much good is
sure to be accomplished.

FOR THE PRESENT.

The fight against the prosecuting
attorneys official corruption has al
ready accomplished sufficient to pay
for the trouble commensurate. 1t has
proven him guilty beyond a doubt
and will cause him to some extent
to give up and return to the proper
owners his i'll gotten spoils. 1t has
demonstrated the fact that there is
just one pretended Democratic news
paper in this state that will espouse
the cause of dishonesty and corrup-
ton and that its columns are ready
to be at any time prostituted to the
base ends of calumny, v%illification
and falsehood.
Every cndeavor of Buckner and his
cohorts in corruption to draw u fire
off of the target of public dishonesty
has failed, and knowing that We will
not debase and lower the cause of
journalism by attacking a mans pri-
vate character they have reyelled in
such filth to their hearts content,
and rs they think, still living their
Iecherous lives and packing them
around in their filthy hides unframed
However, forhearance sometimes
ceases to be a virtue. Yet it is bet.
ter that Buckner, MteNigeneer & Co
should still entertain the respect OF
their families and the community III
which they live for some private vir
tues than it is to undeceive them by
making an exposition of their pri'
vate lives.
Another thing it has accomplished
and that is that it will be many a day
before another officer of AuosaiI
county will accept a free pass from

The Mexico LEDGER wants the
branch penitentiary located at Mexi-
co, while the Mteligencer seems to
be opposed to the idea. We think
Mexico ought to have it if she can
get it. Of course if there is any adj
vantages at least the boys with stri-
ped breeches will have to have a pref
ty good water supply to satisfy their
wasting systems and Bob White
might claim them as citizens of Mex
leo, as then the water supply COM
pany could only charge the $4,000
per year for supplying them and the
city, and then he might send a bill up
to Jefferson, charging a neat, reason
able little sum, say $500 or $500 per
year for supplying the boys with wa
ter, and turn the money over into
the city treasury. 1t would be that
much ad Vantage to the city if the
State shouldn't learn about the
scheme. But if the branch pen. will
be any advantage to Mexico and
Audrain county, let's have it, Bob,
and don't you let up till you get it.

Married, August 10, at the resi-
dence of the brides father, Joseph
Greasy, by Rev. VIM. jesse, Mr..
William ID. Brown and Miss Martha
B. Greasy, all parties living near
Mexico.
The above was quite ar enjoyable
event in the neighborhood. A large
assemblage of relatives and friends
were present. Among the guests
were Mr.. and Mrs. Elder, of Mar
tinsburg, NJ. S. Bush, C~entralia, MIR.
Sidney Silvers and lady, Benton City,
Mrs. Andy Surber and daughter, of
Mexico, and M. Greasy, st. Louis.
No pains Or expense were spared to
spread a bountiful and elegant sup
per. The bride, a beautiful blonde,
was tastefully attired in sky blue silk,
trimmed with heavy white silk lace,
and to all present she appeared a
vision of loneliness as she entered the
room leaning on the arm of her hand
some future husband. Matte and
Billie were both raised in the neigh.
borhood and of course the young
folks knew no bounds of enjoyment.
1t was a trial to the devoted parents
to give up an only grown daughter.
but thus it Is in life and they had the
assurance that so many parents dc
not have of the moral worth and in
dustry of her chosen companion fol-
the untried future.
Farewell to the bride 4! who, in life's rosy hour
Hath launched her frail shallop upon the sea
With innocence, beauty and love for her dove
And visions as gay as dream-poesy!
May prospecting breezes, aye fill her fair sails,
And shadows her blue-sky never o%'erwhelm,
But brightly her boat
Ger the deep waters float,
With hope at the prov and love at the helm."
Besides many valuable and usefu
gifts from her parents she received
Glass set, Minister and wife; set O
knives and forks, goblets and butte,
dish, stand cover and chair tidy, tn
brides grandmother Mrs. Marth'

There were seventy-five guests a

where everybody was pleased wit
themselves and with all present
With farewells and good wishes tn
happy pair were left to recount thei
bright hopes for the future.
