The mountain country has prospect
for good crop the coming season which
it has not had before, since its settlement.
The ground being dry. and the snow
covering it early last fall, it did not freeze
as deep nor as hard as previous years,
and as consequence, must tl,aw out
earlier this spring. In country where
the ground freezes as deep as we may
expect it to freeze here, 1t will be late iu
the spring before the frost is all out, aud
as result it must keep the soil cold and
backward, chill the summer and hasten
frosts in the fall. Let this be reversed as
the soil and spring SO far indicates. and
the most favorable results may be ex-
pected. Let INC here in proof of this
theory call attention to the fact that,
although there was plenty of water this
spring, it is fast disappearing. not drain.

Dear Captain st. Albans," cried Isabel
earnestly, "pray do not mention that
can assure you, when | made that re-
mark. Besides, have you not shown us
to. day what your are made Off
pray do not allude to that" said Cap
tain st. Adams, half petulantly.
IL must say" went on Isabel, not no.
ticing the interruption, "that for your
own sake wish you had better oppor-
tunity of showing what you really are,
than you are ever likely to have in your
present regiment"
81 cannot say how grateful am, Miss
Carlton" replied st. Adams, "for the in
terest you exhibit, and perhaps the day
may come, and before long, when 1t will
bear fruit"
Isabel was now requested by her father
to sing favorite song Of his, and then
the cousins sang duet.
The gentlemen now rose TO take their
leave.
"Remember this, my boy" said the
general as he shook st. Adams by the
hand, ''you will be welcome here at any
time. But wait a minute, that 10 gen
eral invitation, which they say is none at
all. Now l always insist upon one quiet
night week, and the girls have chosen
Thursday, and if you like TO come again,
you will always find your napkin laid for
you and hearty welcome behind it,"
Good night, Miss Carlton
"Good- night, Captain st. Adams, and IL
1t is necessary, allow me to second papa's
invitation. We shall always be glad to
see the one who saved his life"

For some weeks st. Adams met Isabel
Carlton at different balls, parties, and din
ners nearly every night, and seldom or
ever missed one Of what the general
termed his quiet evenings
1t was getting toward the end Of the
season, and people were beginning to look
forward to recruiting exhausted ener-
gies with the aid of sea breezes or sweet
country air.
1t was the evening of Lady DouLleton's
final reception. and everybody. who was
anybody, was present.

There is considerable dissatisfac-
ton owe the manner in which the
delegates to the Congressional con-
vention were selected in st. Charles.
1t is said, on good authority, that the
county is favorable to Col. Hutton A;
but by a little chicanery it was given
to the indefatigsble Norton. "
The enemies of Col. Hutton are find,
ing that gentleman stronger than
ever before, with the people. In the
midst of false friends, open enemies,
and all kinds of opposition, he has
gone along in that quiet dignifed
way which has always characterized
his actions, and it is quite a relief to
compare his calm demeanor with the
restlessness, strife, and bitter acri-
mony of some of the other candid
ates.-Pike County Chronicle.

ONLY DEMOCRATS WANTED.

II is very peculiar that a kepuhl-
can should claim to be offended at a
Democratic paper for %objeeting to
his taking part in a Democratic pri-
mary. The LEDGER is a Democratic
paper and advocates only Democrats
taking part in Il Democratic primary,
Just rs il would object to u Democrat
going into u Republican primary.
W. have no apology TO offer for our
course III this matter. We have hun
dreds of Republican subscribers and
the most of those WI have talked
With, who stand high in that party,
approve Of our course. "ltis a shame,
they say, THAT there should be any
necessity Of writing or talking on
this point but the more we look
into the matter the more we are con
WINGED that an attempt is being made
to defeat the will Of the Democratic
party with Republican votes.
Whether it succeeds or not is owing
to the vigilance of the party all over
the county. There are plenty of
good Republicans in Audrain county.
Let that party have a convention and
nominate a ticket. Then some Of
the "Democrats' who are so anxious
for Republicans to come into our
convention will be welcome to vote
for the nominees of that party.
Straight goods is what we want, let
the result favor whatever candidate
it may. The Democratic party should
not prostitute its principles and GUS
toms for the furtherance of any man
or set of men. Principles and not
men should guide the party in all OF
| its councils.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1886-07-15
The Reason WHY.

The Leader would simply say to
the Inteliigencer that the reason it
antagonizes MI. Norton is because we
knoW the gentleman to be a trickster
and a demagogue n whose record
is impure; Il whom a large proper
ton of the Democracy of his own
county will not trust politically. If
he was made up of such material as
the other candidates for Congress,
Bro. Cook would not have found the
Leader doing any more than simply
working for its own county candidate.
Knowing what we do, we cannot see
wherein we have committed an error.
We know the Democrats want an in
corruptible Democrat from this dis
trict to represent them, and they will
have none other.-Vandalia Leader.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo, July l2.-DEAR SIR:
/ understand there is a disposition
manifested by the Republicans, or II
part of them, in this county to take
advantage, or rather to misconstrue,
that portion of the resolutions adopt
ed at the last meeting of the Central
Democratic Committee of Audrain
county III regard to who are entitled
to vote at the primaries, on July II,
next Saturday. AS l offered the
resolutions | think l am the proper
one to define the intention of that
particular portion of the resolutions,
and not the Republicans. 1t was not
the intention of the resolution to in
vite Republicans into II primaries,
or any other persons who have been
in opposition to the Democratic party,
except they come in good faith. The
doors of the Democratic church is
open to converts in good faith, and
no one else is invited to come. The
resolution is substantially the same
as the one adopted by the committee
two years ago. The Republicans did
not claim the right to come into the
Democratic primaries and vote then.
Why do they do it now? There mus
be a reason. Can it be that there i.
a negro in the woodpile? Republl
cans, you are not invited to come in
to our primaries. You are not want
ed and you are not needed in max
ing nominees for the Democrat,
party. 1t is the duty of Democrat
to make nominations for their part,
and the privilege of Republicans, a
the November election, TO vote TO
Democrats if they choose to do sc
I care not what political creed, faltl
Or profession you may belong to, tn
committee expects every man VIII
votes in the primaries to support til
whole Democratic ticket at the Nov
ember election, and you are in homo
bound to do it-State, Congressional
Judicial and County. If this is to
bitter a dose for you to swallow, the
don't come to the primaries. W
have no sugar-coated pills to offel
1t will be the duty of Democrats t
see that no one is allowed to vot
except upon the above conditions.

THE COMING EXCURSION.

Short Description OF the Springs.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
OFEIcE OF j. A. BRIGHT, LIVERY
AND FEED STABLES, Huntsville, Mo,
July 12.-I notice in a late issue of
the LEDGER that the people of Mex
leo intend getting up an excursion
from that place to the Randolph
Medical Springs, on July %, 1 only
wish to say 1 know of no other
pleasure trip that would give more
satisfaction to your citizens, and peo-
pie of other towns along the road.
than this intended excursion. The
Randolph Medical Springs are situs-
ted right On the line of the Wabash,
st. Louis and Pacific Railroad, four
and one-half miles west of Hunts
vile, the county seat of Randolph
county, Mo. The medicinal proper
ties of the springs need no recon-
mendations from our hands as they
are widely known. The hotel and bath
ing accommodations, conducted by
Messrs. Horton & Bro. are of the
very best and the grounds around
the springs are a splendid place for
picnics, there being a very fine grove
adjacent. Our Huntsville people
earnestly hope the excursion will be a
success and feel assured that not
only the people of Mexico but at all
points along the route will turn out
and assist in making it such. I un.
derstand arrangements are being
made to have a local minister deliver
a sermon to the multitude. I'M also
| informed there will be excursion par.
ties there from Moberly, Brunswick
this town, and other places.
Respectfully,
JAS. A. BRIGHT.

DRAIN.

The LEDGER has been making
itself very Objectionable to a certain
class of Republicans that have been
declaring their intentions to come in
to school district primaries on next
Saturday. The consequence is that
the LEDGER has lost several Re-
publican subscribers up to date. Re-
publicans ought to know they can't
bulldoze; they can boycott all they
please, but bulldoze, never! The
LEDGER will be published every
Thursday morning, regular as here
tofore, continue to keep Republicans
out Of Democratic primaries, and
dish out pure Democracy as faithful
ly and fearlessly. We did not intend
to offend anyone, but so long as Re-
publicans insist on attending to DEM
ocratic business, we expect to buzz
and sting. Our position will be in
dorsed by every Democrat who wants
to do the clean thing and keep party
politics pure.

Since the LEDGER advocated good
barns we have had our attention
called to quite q number of cheap
but neat barns in the county. We
have seen no barn in the county that
can surpass Marsh Calvert's, south of
Mexico, for cheapness and conven
fence. He planned it himself and it
is a little beauty. Every farmer
should have a good barn. Those
who think Of building should call and
see Calvert's.
