Burmah. 1t is thought probable that
Dufferin will he recalled from India.

duction from the Centralia Guard

To%t'LITTLE All SID BOB WHITE.
The editor of the LEDGER has
struck water in another mans we'll,
and has used my name as the pump,
desiring the people of course to con-
slider himself the chain by which this
tepid water is drawn up. And as I
understand the Editor to be doing
the best he knows how for himself
and me, I still bear with him a little
farther and not directly rob him of
that which he took, for our good.
He borrowed my name to have all
things consistent l presume, which
he is welcome to, and anything elseI
have, except myself, I will loan for
good, to my best friends, however l
would appreciate it much better were
he to ask me for what he needs. l
know by this the SAVIOR would lose
none of its flavor. And if he desires
me to give him an answer to Rev.
Gallaher in his next Issue, drop me a
blank sheet of paper and / will leave
him in the midst working consistent
on either side, until I will be of real
value to him. Then of course I will

LADDoNIA, July 9Th, 1sS5.-The "Grand
Fourth is over, and the Laddonians have
had a glorious time celebrating. At an
early hour the people began to gather,
andb BY nine O'Clock the town was full.
At ten O'Clock the procession was formed
and drove to the pic mic grounds, headed
by the Laddonia band and the Glee Club.
The band played better than we ever
heard them and wore q patriotic look that
reminded US of George Washington when
he owned to cutting the cherry tree. The
Glee Club consisted mostly of ladies, and
they looked as happy as Goddesses of Lib
erty. The band and club discoursed
sweet music throughout the day. The
Farber band was also there and played
some excellent music. The speeches
were all good, but it wa difficult for the
vast crowd to hear. Some of the speak
ers we failed to hear. MIR. Haydon's
speech was amusing and as novel writers
say, we thought it rather highly colored.
As we didn't arrive till after dinner, we
missed the opening speeches. Chas. Beal
delivered an able address, which showed
much thought, and was delivered in a
pleasing style. VIM. Cook, E. C. Ken
men, and Hon. VIM. H. KEENAN,, of Mexi-
co, made good speeches. The dancing,
swings, &c., were all there, and also a
great abundance to eat. At night a ball
was given at Barnet's Hall, and the
skating rink was largely attended. We've
heard the crowd in attendance estimated
at from 1000 to 5000.
Mrs. Stone wore the oldest dress and
the incest one that was on the grounds.
Thirty-five years ago it was brought from
India, made up by her mother, Mrs. Cap
tain Cook, in the style of that day. 1t
was of the finest white linen, deliberately
embroidered.
Several Sanctifed preachers arrived
this morning, and will hold a meeting in
the Christian church. The editor Of the
LEDGER and Mrs. Show is invited to at
tend.
Doctor Cox's little girl was very sick
Friday night with cholera infantum, but
is better now.
James Hendrick and wife, of Pike coun-
ty, were visiting in town the first of the
week. .
Some fine business houses will be erect
ed this year.
| Four millinery stores will be run In
town the coming fs1l.
Laddonia needs a tow factory, a first
class shoemaker, a good mill, and If Mex
leo could spare it, we would take The
court house.
