Last Monday a planter came {

Last Monday planter came to
town with single bale of cotton,
ginned and packed alike, and the
same kind of cotton throughout.
For joke or experiment he cut the
bale on both sides, and took a sam
pie from each cut, and took it around
TO try the market, leaving the i'm
preston that they were from differ
ent bales. The cotton buyers after
examining carefully, bid for one Of
the samples y cents more than che
other, on the allegation that one
bale was that much better cotton.
Verify, things are not what they
seem. "-Magnolia Gazette.

Rsport.on Temperance
ADOPTED BY THE EAIR RIVER AssoCIA-
TON AT ITS MEETING IN MONTH
CELLO, OCT. 19, 1885.

Your committee on Temperance
beg to recommend the following:
That this Association advise the
churches to raise an uncompromis-
ing protest against the use, manu-
facture, and sale of ardent spirits, as
a beverage, against the signing of
whisky petitions, or going on the
bonds of liquor dealers, or giving
countenance, in any way, to the
ubiquitous traffic.
That we advise the churches not
to retain in their fellowship those
who persist in lending their influ-
ence to satan by visiting saloons,
signing petitions or in any way en-
courage the use OF whisky as o bev.
erage. We further record it as the
determination of this Association to
henceforth withdraw fellowship from
any church whose pastor or mem
bers are known to patroDize or sym
pathize with the iniquitous liquor
traffic.
We rejoice to be able to report
that the long prayed for day is now
dawning upon US when the great
heart and conscience of the nation
are awakening and quickening to
the dire effects Of this evil. While,
brethren, we would urge upon you
at all times TO render unto Caesar
the things that are Caesars" and
avoid ENHANCEMENT with the Earring
discords of the world, yet we realize
the fact that in order to meet the
mighty tide of iniquity we should
give the Temperance cause our ener-
gies and our prayers.
That we give our hearty and EN-.
phatic endorsement to the PROPOSE
ton, that total abstinence is the
only safe rule for the individual, and
that prohibition by the states Of the
manufacture and sale of all ALEC
holic liquors as a beverage is the
true method of dealing with the
"Matchless Evil" We appeal tc
every patriot who loves his country,
to every philanthropist who loves
his fellows, to every parent who
loves his children, and TO every chris
tian who loves his God, to rise in
his strength and majesty to com
plete legal prohibition of the traffic
in Intoxicating drinks.
Resolved finally, That we urge up
on the proper authorities the incor
poration OF Temperance Text Book,
into the common schools of the
State so that our children may bt
warned in early life of the dangers
of Intoxicating drinks, and that W,
may impress upon their youthful
minds the horrors of intemperance

The New York World, in comment
ing upon the result of the State cleo
ton, says, "what does Democratic
victory mean? 1t means first of all,
that the Democrats of New York
are once more United. 1t means,
too, that the disaffected have
returned to the party for the reason
that Governor Hill is known to be a
true, genuine, old-fashioned Demo
crat."

NEW SCHEME.
How They do People Who Don't Pay
Their Debts at Rush Hill.

In the course of human events it
came to pass that a man named
Bodecker became indebted to B.
Underwood, Of Rush Hill. According
to Mr.. Underwood's side of the story
Mr.. Bodecker was somewhat like unto
the delinquent subscriber. He did
not liquidate. Last Thursday Mr..
Underwood took what Bodecker
owed him out of his hide or at least
a part of said sum, to what amount
our memory runneth to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Of course Bodecker
made a kick. Our constable, Sam
Baskin, went down and arrested
Underwood and brought him to
Mexico, which is on Salt River, and
filed him before Squire Winscott,
who fined him S1.00. Reports say
that Underwood was fined the dollar
because he did not do the job as a
book agent would have done it.
We presume in the future when
Bodecker or any one of his stripe
beats a man out of a bill he will not
then go and laugh at him for being SO
green as to get done up. The news
papers of Audrain should pool and
hire some one like Underwood to
collect their bills. ''Let us have
peace"

Cash Blackburn, of Vandalia, Mo,
was in Mexico this week introducing
his celebrated Gloss Buggy Paint.
The Vandalia Paint Company, con-
sisting of Cash and Joe Blackburn,
have a good thing and are the kind
of men to know and press q good
thing when they see it. All who
have used it praise it, and when the
public knows that Richardson & Co.,
Of St. Louis, and Meyer Bros, of
Kansas City, handle these goods they
may know it is all that is represented.
The factory at Vandalia is now away
behind in orders and new men will be
put to work at once. A pressure is
being brought to bear on Cash to get
him to move to Mexico. We think
it would pay him. He is the kind of
man hat would be appreciated here.
This paint is put up in quart a and
sells for S1.25 a can. One can will
paint two coats ia a buggy or spring
wagon. Any one can do the paint
ing. The vehicle will then look as

LLENELLYN'S LIGHT.
A Good Prospect for Electricity in Mex.
ic0.-Eyerybody to the Front.

While the city council of Mexico is
doing all it cal to secure water for
the city We are glad to see that our
twin necessity, light, is not forgot
ten. Light and water we need and
must have. Mr.. j. F. Llewellyn has
a plan to light the city which will in
no way interfere with water works.
Those who are in favor of one are in
favor of the other also, and we see
no reason why We should not have
both inside of six months.
MI. Llewellyn proposes to put cleo
tricity in Mexico and establish alight
on each corner Of the square, which
will make that portion of the city
within the fire limits nearly as light
as day. The cost Of this will be only
five cents a day to each business
man. We aressure any of our bust
ness men who are IN earnest about
enterprise will be willing to pay this
much. The contract is only for one
year. At the end of that time we
are sure the people will be so well
pleased that there will be no trouble
about perpetuating the enterprise.
Mr.. Llewellyn can put the works in
in two weeks after he gets assurance
that our business men will favor the
enterprise. He does not want te
make any money. He will have te
erect an engine house, put IN an en-
CINE, works, and keep a skilled maj
hired to attend to the same. He i:
meeting with encouragement and w
think will succeed. We are sure 10(
men will agree to pay five cents a day
for lights of this kind. Call and se'
him at once. Don't hang back bu
help make Mexico boom. 1t vii
