WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH USf
We Might Have Anything We Want-Our
Citizens Should Pull Together.

Mexico should have a business
mems association. All of our men OF
means and property should be banded
together so we could have concen-
,rated action on all questions OF pub
lie good or enterprise. Some OF our
business men favor this and others
that enterprise, and some no enter
prise at all. Some Of our business
mems names never appear in connec-
ton with any enterprise or any sub
scription lists. They always vote no
when called for a tax to improve the
city, or for 10 cents to assist in bury
ing a pauper. At the same time they
desire their share of the good result
growing out of all enterprises that
are located here. If we could organ,
ize we could then find out who the
dead weights are and throw them
overheard. Mexico could, by the
combined efforts of our business
men, without a heavy tax on any one,
obtain many enterprises that all know
We need and which would insure oul
permanent growth to a city thai
would defy competition in this part
of the state.

Correct to n Dot.

A gentleman in Moberly last week
tried to lick the editor of the Mont.
tor, but got badly left. The editor
says he owed the paper a dollar and
would not pay it, and then told him
he would lick him if he ever put his
name in the paper. Kelly touches
him up as follows:
The idea that newspapers have no
right to print a persons name is GER
tainly an erroneous one, and although
we do not honor everybody by doing
so, is no reason that we are afraid to
do so, and it is a great mistake to
suppose that newspaper men hold
themselves in readiness to be clicked
by every nincumpoop who thinks
the paper is not run to suit his fancy
There IT several persons in every
town that think they know how tc
run a newspaper better than the mel
who have been in the business TO,
wears, and are constantly grumbling
and finding fault, though they never
subscribe for one, and if they do
don't pay for it.

Kelly Answers Carson.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
MEXICO, March 23.-In answer to
an article published in the LEDGER
last week, headed ''Major Carson for
Sexton" will say that there is not
one particle of truth in what was SAID
in regard to my politics. The Major
was misinforrned Or knowingly mis-
represented me. l have voted the
Democratic ticket. / voted for S.
j. Tilden, Gen. W. S. Hancock and
Grover Cleveland for president and
the straight ticket for all state, coun-
ty and city offices. For further proof
call or B. F. Dobyns, Secretary Of
the Democratic Central Committee.
Major Carson is, to some extent. ex,
cusable, as he lives in the ghost dis.
trict, near the haunted bill, and was
taken with the ''Creasy Craze a few
weeks ago and has hardly been re.
sponsible for his actions since. II.
will recover about the 18th of April,
as the wise councilmen of the city OF
Mexico will not spoil a ''good con-
tractor and builder (?) to make s
poor sexton. l will say to the clti.
zens of Mexico that l have been sex.
ton of the cemetery for the past sew
en- years, and have made with my OWL
hands the last resting place of over
seven hundred of our citizens. | have
had the endorsement of all the su.
perintendents during the whole time,
and there has been no complaint o,
dissatisfaction that I know of. If ]
have given satisfaction I would like
to continue in the services of the city.

MEXICO AND SEVENTH DISTRICT
GETS LEFT.
The Office OF Revenue Collector DOn's
Come to Mexico-A Bit Of History.

The Missouri delegation met yesterday
to endorse a man for Revenue Collector
from this district. Why is not our Con-
gresham there to look after the interests
of his Observation-Disclosures LEDGER.
The endorsement of sour Congress-
MANS brother-in-law for the position
ought to be a sufficient answer to the
LEDGER's question.-New Florence Optic.
The only interest we had in the af-
fair was. that Mr.. Sam Cook said if
he got the Office he would bring it to
Mexico. He was, in every sense of
the word, competent. Hutton owed
him politically all that he (Hutton)
claimed this district owed him, (Hut-
ton) and which he (Hutton) got
through this gentleman's prompt
work.
Beyond our desire to have the Of
fee come to Mexico we were not in
terested. Hutton's brother-in-law is
a good man, we presume, and for all
we know will make a good collector.
We wanted to boom Mexico up by
getting the Office here. Col. Hutton
told Cook he was going to Washing
ton, but did not 60. Cook, on this
account, did not allow his endorse
ments to he used and did not go him
self. Judge Buckner says he thinks
Cook could have gotten the endorse
ment of the delegation if his con-
gresham had been there to present
his name and then Mexico would have
had the office. Only a few days before
a petition for Cook was circulated in
this city by T. B. Buckner, who
should know whether he was just
joking when he asked people to
sign the petition or whether Hutton
intended to attend to the matter
properly. 1t looks a little as though
the whole matter was a farce to fool
somebody. Why were people asked
to sign a petition when the petition
was not to be used at ali? Mr.. Cook.
through no fault of his, vas thus
placed in a bad light and the sigiess,
We are sure, feel very cheap.

LADDONIA ITEMS.

Correspondence Of the Ledger.
LADDoN1A, Mo-, March 23.-Some
one has said that the Laddonians
are the greatest people in the world
to puff up their town, and SO they
are, forthey have a just cause to do
so. 1t matters not what they under
take, they do it well, even down to
law suits. Saturday last was one of
the biggest law days in this county.
The supper given by the G. L.

girl on Sunday, says it will not be

happy event of his marriage.
The Literary Society will close,
perhaps this week. Each meeting
has been well attended, and much
interest shown. As a general thing,
the music, readings, Rotations and
speaking have been very good; but
the papers, with but few exceptions,
have not come up to the standard
looked for. While wit and humor
go far to make a society paper good,
comon ems should not be ignored
altogether. Wit and humor are good
in their place, but an article alto
gether silly is never funny.
The skating rink still holds forth
with its usual amount of visitors.
Mr.. C. C. Stevens and wife will
start in a few days on a visit to Iowa.
Mrs. Shattuek, of Pike county, is
spending a few days with her sister,
Mrs. D. P. Moore. Mr.. d. W.
Hughes has a sister visiting him
from Carrollton, Mo.
The Laddonians are proud of the
band. The boys" have been a,
much expense and the town feels like
they would be glad to help them
financially. Some of the gentlemen
and ladies thought it a good plan to
get up an entertainment for the ben

on the third of April. The well
known drama, "Enoch Arden" fol.
lowed by the laughable farce, "The
Prosecuted Dutchman," will be play.

RUSH HILL A s
A Brilliant Wedding and a Grand Ball
Other Items Of Interest.

Correspondence Of the Ledger.
Rush HILL, Mo-, March 26.-The
social event of the season hereabouts
was the marriage Tuesday evening
at the residence of the brides par

gan, both of this place. Squire Har-
dy Doolin performed the ceremony
amid a throng of assembled friends,
all of whom wish the happy young
couple a joyous and prosperous jour.
ney down life's rugged stream.
The ball given in their honor las.
night at Bick's hall was a grand sue
cess in every particular. The an.
-nouncement through the papers and
the handsomely printed invitations
gotten up at the LEDGER Office, I am
told,) brought together the elite Of
our village and vicinity, besides sew.
eral from Mexico, Jonesburg, and
other points. The invited guests as
sembled at the hall and about s
o'clock the mirth began, dancing be
ing kept up continuously until neal
II, when refreshments we're served
After every one had partaken of the
bountiful repast, the dance was re
sumed, and did not cease until ar
early hour this morning.
The bride was dressed elegantly
and never appeared to a better ad'
vantage. She is a handsome lady
has all the womanly virtues of he,
sex, and is a great favorite within he,
circle. The groom is a most excel
lent young man, we'll known for his
business qualifications and integrity
and we + glad to know that the
young couple will not leave thu
neighborhood, but will locate on {
farm adjoining town.
