Mexico's Travelling Men.

We have often referred to the
varied interests of Mexico in their
different spheres and the men who
represented them, but wish to place
particular stress upon a class who
have it in their power to advertise
Mexico to the greatest advantage of
any other class of men. We have in
our town good men representing
every branch of commercial interests
who spend their yearly income in our
city. What do our merchants do in
return for their patronage? Does
the town patronize them or does shs
give her trade to some other towns
travelling men who never leave in
town more than five dollars a month :?
Merchants should think about this
and when possible give our own boys
the preference, for we have as nice a
set as any town in Missouri sends
out and should show our apprecia-
ton by u patronage Foreign
printers, photographers, etc., ETC.,
come into Mexico every few days
and do poorer work and charge more
money. Still they catch the people.

members of Mexico Reading Circle
met at the public school building in

2 p. m. TbisS4y oeIDg very cold,
tie attendance was small. There
were present Misses Woodward,
Spence, Patton, Sullinger, Talbot.

Ian. The president and vice-presi-
dents being absent, recording sec
rotary, f. G. Bryan, called the house
to order and Miss Patton was chosen
temporary president.
But one of the instructors being
present, Mr.. F. G. Bryan, his sub
ject, Literature, was called and ninety
minutes devoted to the reading and
discussion Of 1.-The Voyage" "The
Wife, Roscoe and "Trip Van
Winkle." in Irving's Sketch Book.
Mr.. Bryan had evidently prepared
his lesson with much care. The
beauty, strength, purity, precision,
tone of sentiment and general effect
of these writings, with some faults,
were sifted and reviewed with con-
summate skill. Members seemed to
have thorough preparation on this
subject, and the interest awakened at
the outset continued to increase in
warmth and vigorti till the close.
Before We were aware, the time
had slipped by, so captivating were
the charms of the author and the
delightful hour passed in his compa-
ny. AL were specially struck with
Roscoe and the beautiful lesson of
his life.
The instructors for our next meet

A very interesting and profitable
session is anticipated. Two additional

On Wednesday night the Nc

opera house by a large audience,
which highly appreciated the charac-

a whole, the musical attainments of
this family of twelve members are
wonderful. The entire number be-
ing possessed with exceptionally
acute knowledge of the charms of
music. The entertainment was SO
varied that the audience was, during
The entire evening, spell-bound with
the wonders of their accomplish
ments. This company is composed
of McGibenys only and the amaze
ment is that each and every one is
gifted with that talent of music and
character that few possess, even
rivaling the finest musicians of the
world. The wonder of the family is
the musical prodlgy-Little Jimmie
who is but five years of age, and
who accompanies his mother in sew

after the alarm was sounded a stream

MEXICO, No, January l2.-Who is
this Z. Gallaher that employs SO
much of his time roofing among the
grass under the gospel tree: Is 1t
he that had the doctor Of diclaity
shot off of him last spring by Dis
ciple p Where does he belong! We
have no fears Of his disturbing the
tree or its fruit. Not that the tree
will be cut down, for a snout is mo-
much of an AK, however well it may
serve as a hoe. In his first article he
| violated the 9th commandment when
he charged me with aiding ''Disci-
ple," but from other indications he
does not scruple at the statement. He
reminds me of an IrishmaD that
came excitedly into my office some
time ago, saying, Il name to kill your
dog he bate me- What, said l, lis
the dog mad:" Mad" said he,
whats the dog got to be mad at :
It's meself that's mad" We are sorry
for Mr.. 7. Gallaher and we extend
to him our sympathy for the sudden
and to him unexpected loss at the
hands of Disciple of his caudal
a~ppendage.
"Shake not thy CORY locks at me,
Thou canst not say did it."
We recommend him to read
Esop's Fables where he will find a
certain fox that had a similar mis-
fortune some time ago. The weather
has been cool and by this time he
ought to be out of danger, but the
symptoms of late show the disease
as tending to the brain, and unless
he s%urrenders himself at once for
treatment the world may have an
aching void which it can't fill. The
world Of letters has already lost q
vast amount because Gallaher was 6
!, late colt. Had he been on time he
could have saved the Greek profes
sors of several colleges, whose tes'
timony we copy this week, from theil
deep humiliation, as they seem tc
contradict this learned gent.
"'Tis true, tits a pity, and it's a pity ii,
true"
They must bear the blame for being dolt:
For Gallaher was not of the early colts
Had they heard of his man or seen hin
write,
Their classical sins had meier came t.

But the world moved and we fee
confident the professors will g

similar rate.

Not His Fault

1t is hardly far to blame Senator
Cockrell for all the Federal appoint
ments that have been made in Mis-
souri,. 1t is no easy matter to satisfy
the hungry cravings of a party so
long out of power, and somebody
must be disappointed. We suppose,
in point of fact, that Senator Cock
rell has done the best be could under
the circumstances, and it is not bis
fault that there were not enough
places to go around. - Louisiana

Most of the guesses were between
$4,000 and $4,000. Some CT the
guesses were away out of reason
A lady subscriber at Pueblo, Colo,
guessed three words. We suppose
she thought Happy New Year
would be the extent of the reading
matter. Mary Gorth guessed 34O,-
CHIP and Herman Bewchlold
guessed 126, 7S9,S49. They must
have thought We were going to issue
q mammoth paper on that date.
We trust all are satisfied with the
result. We aimed to give the young
and old a chance for winters evening
entertainment by estimating and
counting the words in the LEDGER.
1t took like wild-fre, and we are
amply repaid for expenditure and
trouble by the big advertising boom
it has given to the LEDGER all over
the country. Newspapers have to al,
~vertise in order to succeed just the
same as any other line of business
We wish to return thanks to all who
assisted in making the scheme a sue

The costs of running the city of
Mexico under a third class charter
will be no more than now. 1t is rue
the offices of marshal and collector
and clerk and recorder will be sepa-
rated but the salary will he divided
between two men, which is a good
idea. In addition to this the mar
sinai can devote his entire time to the
duties of the office and the collector
can look after the taxes. Backed up
by law he can collect close. We will
not then have more delinquent taxes
returned in Mexico than in the entire
county by the county collector.

had been from the east the entire

1t is impossible to tell how the fire
started. The insurance was light
because the rate is so high, six pei
