Important Reduction in PnSsenGer
Rates over the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.
Following up the reduction made In
through passenger rates between New York
and Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company announce the issue, on and after
to-day, Of ten days excursion tickets be
tween New York aud Washington at a
rate Of $40 and between New York and
Baltimore at a rate of IS. Five-day exour-
sion tickets will also be sold between New
York and Wilmington, Del, at rate OF S5
This reduction is not only in the line OF
that policy which seeks to foster the
growth Of business whenever II shows q
tendency toward improvement, but Is also
further step toward disarming the ticket
scalpers, who have been dealing in tickets
between these important cities. A stop
over will be allowed on all of these tickets
at Philadelphia also at Baltimore on those
issued between New York and Washington.
The issue on excursion tickets will not be
restricted to New York, but will extend to
all the more important stations on the Penn

A FECD.

Audrain is behind in nothing. We
find during the present term of cir
cult court q regular family feud is
being developed, much to the regret
of all the many friends of each
party. The leaders on both sides
have plenty of sense. They stand
high. they have a host of warm
friends, all of whom regret the seri-
Gus course this matter is taking.
There is no telling where the feud
will end if not stopped at once. The
mor people talk and editors write
about the trouble the worse it will be.
Our idea in referring to it is to call
attention to the dark shadow that is
lowering over all concerned. The
costs in the case will run up into the
thousands, not including the hard
feelings that will be engendered, not
only in the families but in the neigh.
borhood. All parties r leading and
influential citizens. Now is the time
to call a halt. Unless the matter i.
settled there will be no end to the
public and private publications OF
the troubles, and to crown the whole
matter blood-shed is feared. Chill
dren fuss in this manner; men shoulC
know better.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1886-02-04
''ENPLAtN."

Our contemporary gives the LAMAR
n column of free advertising this
week, acknowledging that II is such
q valuable advertising medium and
such an influential newspaper that it
could command ''several hundred
dollars for lis support of the prepo-
sition that Mexico should have water
works. For this we feel very CRATE
full. 1t is a we'll known fact that
the LEDGER always favored water
works before il was known who
would build them. From whom
could it expect 10 receive pay for
that line of policy, except the hene-
fetal results to IL town which accrue
frem all such improvements The
substance of the entire TRADE can be
CLEANED from the following sentence:
IF it [the LEpGER) is above the
imputation of being influenced Ivy the
prospect of a fat printing job in the
third class charter matter, it should
hasten to explain why it is necessary
for 1t to be paid for advocating the
adoption of the water-works."
There is no trouble to explain
if it will be of any satisfaction to our
impuissant neIghbor. The tcater-
scorkS company nor any mdH connected
rih 1t or representing it U e paid the
editor Of the LEDGER or any one repre-
Senting him one cent for q single iine
published IN the LEDGER fucoring
rdter-norks. Give us something easy,
We are sure the editor of our worthy
contemporary did not intend to mis-
represent us. Now if lie wishes Il:
to explain why we favored u side
walk to cemetery, fence for Hardin
Park, bridge over the railroad, elec
trio light, G. A. r. meeting il
Mexico, rock roads, etc, we wi.
accommodate him. The p"licy o'
the LEDGER is dictated by its editor
who, whenever he feels like it. wi.
explain" to the editor of its cotem
porary why and wherefore the Office
cat hops this way or that. One thin!
is certain: No matter what prompt
him, our cat is always to be founC
lighting like old Harry Scratch,
and he don't make his racket Will
on the fence, either.

The name indicates the feminine gen.
der, but diligent inquiry has often
been made and no such Il person is

isl,ahle impress upon my heart, you
will be found standing near the cen

advertising list of Baird college Is
made up, you shall have Il satisfac-
tory slice. If, in the meantime, you
fast Il little, you will the more enjoy
the feast when it comes. Our board

riding is INDUCED In as never before,

cost one dollar up to twenty-five
dollars. We noticed some ladies rid

that seems to be more attractive
than any of the others.
The cold weather don't stop the
building boom in Laddonia. Messrs.
Cushman are building a business
house On Second street. j. B. Clark
is building a house for machinery.
If Laddonia passes the winter
without a fire. it will commence in
the spring one of its biggest booms.
Several of the citizens have taken
stock III a patent wire fence, that
many think is a bad investment, but
time will prove its value.
Miss Fannie Gilliland writes from
Boliver that she is we'll pleased
with the school. Charlie Swift made
a visit home from the Perry school,
which he is attending, and says the
school is hourishing. Laddonia will
soon have a high school so that no
pupil need leave the county for an
education.
If we had a good mill here, and
the miller worked with as much zeal
as Willard Barton does with the lit
tie mill he new runs, he would make
as much money as the early settlers
did in California, and mauch easier.
c. Doss, after several months
absence, returns to Laddonia, saying
