We are glad to get the following
in conservation with Rev. T. J. Wheat,
the Presiding Elder, who was here
holding quarterly meeting on last
Sabbath. The Liberty street
Methodist Episcopal church has
paid for pastoral support for the
past quarter s223.oO. The church
building is in good repair and the
Society is in a good and growing
spiritual condition. They have no
church debt, but have nearly $1,000
in notes and available funds to invest
in parsonage property. The invest
ment will likely be made in the near
future. This, the Presiding Elder
said, is a good showing. We cheer
fully give place to these reliable facts
and wish their church unbounded sue

Reading Circle.

To the editor of the Ledger.
Will you please announce to mem
bers of the Reading Circle that the
subject in history to be discussed at
the next meeting, 10th INST, is the
Battle Of Marathon. I would thank
you also to announce the following
syllabus, for the use of members:
Revolt of Miletus and the other
cities of Ionia.
Destruction of Sardis by the
Athenians and Eutrians.
Treachery of Miltiades during the
invasion of Scythia.
Effort to restore Hippias to the
throne of Athens.
Reasons for choosing Marathon as
the field of battle.
Resources of the two powers en-
gagged in the conflict.
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION.
Was the battle of Marathon a de-
cisive one? If so, what did it de-
eide?
Were the Athenians known to
Darius before the burning of Sardis :
Were cavalry used at Marathon !
If not, why?
In the council of war, were there
any good easo why the Greeks
should delay action?
What were the real circumstances
that rendered the victory at Mara
thon a great triumph, in the opinion
of the Greeks? A. K. YANCEY.

A SHAME.

1t is a shame that a live little city
like Mexico should have any drones,
CLAIMS or dogs in the manger, but 1t
is a fact. There are a few such in
Mexico and should be talked to
straight. The men we wish TO stir
up are those who are able to assist
with time and money in booming
Mexico. We fear they want to en-
joy all the advantages but spend no
money. When o sidewalk to the
cemetery is to be laid or a park fence
is to be erected or the poor to he fed
or buried, or Board of Trade to be
organized, OF money to be subscribed
to get a manufacturing establishment,
or electric light to be psidfor, or one
thousand and one other things nee
essary to a live town to be looked
after, some of u citizens are inva-
riably conspicuous by their absence.
This is not right. 1t is not fair for
a few people to do all the work and
spend all the money while others who
are amply able, stand around sneering
and sulking, and at the same time
get all the advantages derived
from the enterprises.
The LEDGER does not favor boy
cotting but we do think such bust
ness 60 men should be hauled over
the Goals. Their proper place is in
the grave yard. They are no good
on the earth to a town. They would
kill any town. Except for the vital
ity Mexico has this class of men to-
day would be playing marbles where
Hardin College is or ''shucking"
corn where the court house stands.
Wake up, gentlemen. Get to the
front. If you are too penurious-
that's the word-te give anything
for heavens sake don't discourage
others and spend your time in throw
ing cold water on every enterprise
spoken of. Mexico has got to ge
there. If the old fogies and crank:
) won't assist we must get there an.

THE GRAVEYARD AT YOU BET

There on that knoll is the ancient
metropolis Of You Bet and the camps
around, and there within its precincts
have been gathered many of the ear
ly inhabitants Of these pioneer towns.
Though the hues Of ruin have crept
over the place, the ground itself, is as
almost everywhere the case with these
old g~rayeyards, remains intact. You
will say that it is to the credit of the
miners that these homes Of the dead
have been SO generally respected.
Not especially SO. In looking for a
spot for sepuIture, the early miner
was apt to select some rock ridge or
knoll which stood apart from the dig
gings, and which, being supposed to
contain little or no gold, he had rea-
son to think would never be disturb
ed. Had it ever been found that they
contained pay dirt, these consecrated
grounds would have been attacked
and run off to bedrock long ago
