Representative Li,tler came over from Co,
lumbus last evening to spend Sunday in the
bosom of his family, and has received an
ovation wherever he has appeared today,
growing out of the little affair with the impish
0'Myers, in the House, the other day. The
Judge admits, of course, that he violated the
the rules, but thinks the occasion one Of
those when there are good grounds Of excuse
or at least e1tenuating circumstance, and
only regrets that, as he welt % far, he didn''
succeed in administering the correction he in.
tended, and giving the little blackguard from

OMyers came to naught, and nothing il
likely to be done in that direction, for goot

"Rascals TO Co."
From the Columbia Herald.
DahI "l.l al


MIR. Robt. White, our esteemed
cotemporary Of the Mexico LEDGER,
is indignant, very indignant; in fact
this indignation is of that kind bor-
dering on the wrath on which it is
said the sun should not go down.
He is impatient that the "rascals do
no go" as fast, especially in his dis
trict, as the requirements of Demo-
cratic victory and the promises of a
certain Democratic congressman
would seem to justify. In contem-
plation of such injustice its wrath
boileth up thus:
What are we here for? What did
we accomplish in our victory if Dem
ocrats are not put on guard? Our
congressman said that this year, on the
Fourth, Democrats had good cause
to rejoice. He and his brother-in-
law, 1T is true, have good cause to
rejoice, but the rest of the boys are
still waiting. The LEDGER wants no
office; it has no friend who wants an
Office. It simply wants to know if
this is not the Democrats day. Our
congressman claims to have about
the only Democratic paper in the
world. Let him show his Democracy
by bis works. Kick 'em out, as he
proclaimed so loudly he would do.
This is no time to lay around in the
sun and bask because he is provided
for. The LEDGER is not inclined to
be in a hurry, but we do think that
the time has arrived for the ''rascals
to CO."

THE FAIR.
An Institution for the Benefit Of the Public
and Not for the Profit of Stockholders,
TO THE pIJRIJr

TO THE PUBLIC.
The directors of the Fair Association
recognize that the Fair is an institution
for the public benefit, the creation
OF the enterprise of the community and
IN no sense corporation run for the
profit of the stockholders. Every dol
lar surplus over annual expenses is
devoted to improvement of the grounds
and increase of the premium list, so as
to add from year to year to the attrac-
tlveness of the meetings. The gate
fees have been fixed as low as the pur-
poses in view will justify. When it is
considered there is no gate charge for
vehicles but accommodations for same
afforded inside the grounds gratis, as
we'll as free day for the ladies and a
free day for children, we do not see
how any just complaint can be made
on this score by our home folks. The
temporary omission of the cattle rings
on account of the pleuro pneumonia
alarm, at the time Of making up our
catalogue has permitted us to offer ad-
ditional encouragement to the increas-
ing interest in good horses, and we
have this year made every effort with
in our means to increase the accommo-
dation of the pnblie by the building of
a capacious dining hall and putting in
thorough repair the stalls for stock,
etc., and with an increased prize list
especially in the speed rings, we hope
to offer an unusually attractive exhi-
bition. Audrain county, one of the first
counties of the state in all that consti.
tutes prosperous agricultural COM
munity, should have a just pride in an
institution of this character, which
affords pleasant reunion of her peo-
pie, where they can meet socially, in
terckange ideas, and with generous
rivalry compete in display of her in
dustries-at once a jubilee and expon-
ent of the business interests of the
people.
It is the intention of the Directory to
enforce its rules as to betting and gen.
eral good order so that the amphi-
theatre shall remain an acceptable re-
sort Tor families, ladies' and children;
not that it proposes a religious camp
meeting but it does insist upon such
quiet and order as shall insure enjoy
ment to all.
If properly patronized our Fair will
become more and more useful, attract
to our midst enterprise and business,
and this advertising feature should re-
ceive the due appreciation of our busi-
ness men. In fact the Fair exhibition
is nothing more nor less than what you
make it. Originating in your wants,
upon your support depends it's pros
perity and usefulness.
With this statement of our efforts we
cordially invite the liberal patronage
of the good people of our own and ad-
joining counties.

Not for Money.

Bilson had married a rich wife,
and, finding it easy to live, had a
good deal of time to loaf with the
crowd at the drug store. One night
they were talking matrimony, when
Bilson remarked:
''Well, you may say what you
please about it. I wouldn't marry
any woman for money"
''Rats!" yelled Brown, who knew
Bilson quite well.
"What do you say that for? /
wouldn't" he replied sternly.
"You wouldn't? Well, didn't you
marry for money!"
'tNo, sir, 1 didn't, and the man
lies who says So" and Bilson rose in
wrath.
''What did you do, I'd like to
how?"
"Money was not considered, sir ;
I married for a home, and got it,
but money, sir, was no object
whatever to a man Of my sentiments. .

Ingersoll.


Bob Ingersol says that he don't
believe the 'trib story" but he, like
all others Of the school, must have
the rib, and presume he would take
a whole side were it not for the law.
WHO KNOWS?
Who knows but Darwin and bis
followers are the descendants of the
monkey? We should not deal too
rashly with them, but rather congrat-
ulate them, for with many of them
there is decidedly an Improvement
over their parents, and it will not re-
quire more than about ten thousand
geological ages to develop at least
some of them into Christians.
Who knows that there is no God !?
In order to know that there is no
God a man must know everything
that is honorable; and should man
know everything in the world save
one thing. that one thing may be that
there is God.
Then can / believe whenever I hear
of a sheep becoming a tiger, a lion
becoming calf, then, and not till
then, can / believe Darwinism. A
man getting drunk and acting like
hog is not sufficient proof.
THE BIG BLUNDER.
Bob Ingersoll is, by great many.
called big man. But in the great
day of restitution, when all are
brought before the judge of the quick
and the dead. and things turn out q
little different from the way Bob has
it fixed up, and he and his followers
are denounced as workers of iniquity,
it will then be realized by his follow
ers that he is only one Of the big
blunders OF the world
Let loose the truth, unchain it, in
vestigate, and We have nothing to
fear. Truth is the mighty sword
with which man Is to take the life of
falsehood. It will follow it to its
hiding place, drag it from its den, and
rip off it's hide. Let it loose.
