Lucky Man.

Bob White, of the LEDGER, has
been appointed chief of the Mexico
fire department. He is a lucky man
and receives honors without counting
them. Last summer he was elected
president of the Missouri press asso-

called upon to umpire a match game
of base ball. Mr.. White is thorough
ly competent for the discharge of
these several duties.-Richmond Con-
serUdt0r.
Great hevings! Do you know what
you are talking about. A man would
be unlucky, even if be should be elect
ed president of the United States
with the contingency that he should
umpire a game of base ball between
Fulton and Jefferson City. Every
umpire who has not died a violent
death says so, and those dead agree
with us.

s TO vANDALIA.
One of the Best Towns In the State
It's Growth and Business-Pieneer
Points-Personal Paragraphs
Minor Mention, &c.

Knowing Vandalia to be a live town,
and having a host of friends in that
end of the county, a LEDGER repre-
sentative found his way down there
the first of the week, and right royal
" was he welcomed and entertained
while in the town. We found bust
ness of all kinds brisk, and almost
every man we transacted business
with had from a SIS to a $50 bill.
The trip was purely a business one,
and we wer well repaid for going.
The LEDGER's already large subscrip-
ton list was increased by the addition
of thirty-four new names. all paid up.
Our Vandalia list now numbers more
than one hundred, and we shall en-
deavor to increase it to double that
amount in our next three visits. The
LEDGER is the only journal in the
county (the Leader excepted) that
devotes any considerable attention to
Vandalia and that end of the county,
and there isn't a man living therea-
bouts but what should be a regular
reader of this paper.
A word as to the town. Vandalia
now numbers something like 1000
souls, is the second town in the coun-
ty, and is a very important trading
and shipping point. In all directions
it has a splendid farming country
surrounding it, as the immense amount
of gain daily shipped from there tes-
titles. Two large elevators arc in
constant operation, and we are credi-
bly, informed that for the past three
months an average of fifty wagon
loads of corn per day have been
brought into town, for every bushe
of which the hard cash was paid out,
keeping money freely in circulation
VandalIa is also a strong commercial
town, the trade in general merchan'
disc, lumber, hardware and farm
machinery being very heavy ant
steadily increasing. The merchant
are each and every one substantial
men of prime ability and credit, ant
the municipality is out of debt will
a surplus in the treasury. Every
thing about the city indicates soli'
. and permanent thrift. Brick business
blocks have lately been erected tina
would do credit to a city of 10,0O'
I inhabitants. A well-known citizel

Warden OF the pen,,e,,tiary.

Governor .Marnaduke last week APP
his brother, D. w. Marina
duke, warden Of the p~enitentiary. A
certain class Of newspapers and poll
ticians at once sent up their usual
howl. They were prepared to howl
no matter who he appointed. They
were against him before he was NOM
mated. They were against him after
he was almost the unanimous nomi-
nee of the party. They are still
against him after he is elected and
are going to find fault with everything
he does. They will howl even if he
makes a better governor than Hardin
or Phelps. God Almighty made
some people to howl and to do moth,
ing else. Why He did this We are
unable to understand, unless he was
afraid the ace of four-legged wolves
would be exterminated. Marmaduke
is governor of the state. He is re
sponsible for his appointments. He
weighed the matter long and well
He thought he had found just the
man fitted for the place. He appoint
ed him and then asked him if he wa
any kin to him. Everyone says he l
in every sense of the word the maj
, for the place. Even the outgoin:
warden says he knows Of nc bette
man for the position. Why, then, thi
fault-finding, even inside the party
Marmaduke will always do his dut
without fear or favor. If he wa
trying to cringe to public sentimen
he would have appointed some on
else, although he thought his brothe
D was the best man for this unusual

New Insane Asylum.

Missouri needs and is to have o
new insane asylum. The legislative
committee have decided to have it
built in the southwest part of the
state. We think this is right. The
southwest is deserving of its share of
public buildings and while We don't
think there are any more crazy peo-
pie down there than in any other
part of the state We are glad they
succeeded in getting this institution,
and while we are noticing this matter
we cannot refrain from adding that
we think by all odds Nevada is the
best place for it.
Nevada is surrounded with a fine
farming country in the heart of the
great southwest and located SO it is
easy CT access from any direction,
Nevada is a live, growing, red-hot
little city. 1t is far above the aver
age in enterprise and patriotism. Il
is a city inhabited by people who
would appreciate a public institution
as it should be. They would not, al
is often the case, try to make all thu
money out of it they could, but woult
take pride in having it flourish and b.
as little of a burden TO the state a
possible. Give Nevada a fair shov
and she will get it. She should hav'
it. She is properly located, has fin
railroad facilities and is inhabited b,
the right kind of people.
