LADDONIA LAC0NICS.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, Nov. 1.-The upper and bal
given to raise money to buy a bell for
the school house last Friday night was
a success in every sense. A large crowd
attended and the supper was most ex-
cellent, and everybody enjoyed them
selves finely. The ladies of Laddonia
can't be beat on preparing a supper,
and they are always found willing to
work for any public enterprise. We
will have a bell now, and one that can
be heard for miles around.
Rev. Redd, Of Perry, gave an excel
lent lecture at the Christian church on

In company with many friends we

Elegant Wagons.

Haskell & Co., of this city, are
turning out some elegant spring
wagons and buggies. 1t would pay
any of our readers to inspect the
work made at this factory. We had
the pleasure to-day of taking a ride
in one of their new spring wagons,
and it is without doubt the easiest
riding vehicle we we're ever in. They
have a patent head block and an ele-
CANT spring which they put ON their
wagons. Riding over the toughest
places you feel no jar. All their
work IS finished off in elegant style.
Any one wanting a wagon should
patronize this home industry. You
get better work for less money.

THE
4 Light Vote P0lled-Lots of Scratch
ing DOne-Carter Gets a Good
Majority Over Clay and
SchrOIl-NOtes.

This being an off year and the
Democratic majority so large little
interest was taken in the county and
a light vote was polled. The vote of
the county by townships will be found
in this issue. Carter was scratched
in several precincts, notably in Mex
leo, by a class of Democrats who,
when they can't get the man they
want on the ticket, scratch. Some
of the scratchers voted for Sehroll;
some voted for Clay; some did not
vote for Representative at all. This
element in the party is very injurious
to the organization and should be
weeded out. Democrats who will
not vote for the nominees because
they don't suit them should not be
allowed in Democratic conventions in
the future. They should be forced
into the Republican party, where
they belong. The party in Audrain
has a good majority, but there ap-
pears to he a movement on foot by a
lot of disappointed politicians to
break up the organization and betray
the party to the Republicans. This
"junta' of dark-lantern scratchers
should be dealt with summarily by
the party.
No DRINKS no fights.

"Scholten" got two votes in SAILING.

precinct.
Clay got SO votes at the Mexico
precinct.
Schroll ran % votes ahead of his
ticket in Mexico.
John Atchison ran ahead Of his
ticket in Mexico.
Clay got a good vote at MAYORS
school house.
About the same Democrats do. tht
scratching every year.
The majority against the amend
ment in Mexico was 164.

a black eye around here.

ticket.
Clay got more votes than any 9th

mot a candidate"
The intelligent compositor mad

instead of Nov. 2, yesterday.
New methods have been imported
into Audrain when Democrats stant
around the polls encouraging tickle
scratchers.
A certain class of Democrats
scratched Marmaduke in Audrail
in 1884. Very much the same elias
of Democrats scratched Carter thi
year. They should join the Republi
can party.
