The Mexico LEDGER has to-day
one of the hest equipped offices in
the state. We have three of the best
presses made, which are run by water

quadrupled; within a year it has

NEW CITY HALL.


One block south of the court house is
the city hall, which is new and hand
some building. 1t was erected in 1885,
at a cost of 5000. 1t contains the
Council Chamber, offices for the May or
and Marshal, the city Jail, and room
for the Fire Department. The Board
of Trade also has it's headquarters
here.
For educational facilities, Mexico is
unsurpassed. The schools are not only
well conducted, but are supported
heartily by the people. There is, per-
haps, no better Public School in the
state, not only ip regard to the govern
ment and system of teaching, but also
in regard to the buildings and equip
ment.
The Public School is centrally situat-
ed. The building, erected in I678, is'of
the most substantial character. II ia
three stories in height, and contains
twelve rooms, each of which is furnish
ed with comfortsbie seats and desks,
and ample blackboard space. Il. IL
heated by hot-afr furnaces. The ar
rangement for light and ventilation
are excellent. The present enrolment is
S75. The colored school has 1 teachers,
and an enrolment of $50 pupils, max
ing in all, seventeen teachers and ], 200
pupils. The whole Public School sys-
tenn is un Ter control of Prof. d. A.
Mcmillan, who, by his untiring efforts.
| has so perfected his school that it is
second. to none. A prominent feature
is the library of 900 volumes, belong
ing to the High School.

The hotel facilities are unequalled.
The Windsor and the Central-klngo,
two three-story structures, are the most
popular. They are located in the busi-
ness portion of the town, and supplied
with all modern improvements. The
fare is unsurpassed. and the rooms well
lighted and ventilated. Besides these,
are the Ferris, Pacific, Globe and Sui
hvan hotels, at any of which the trav-
e.er will find the most painstaking
provision for his comfort.

PUBUC SCHOOLS OF MEXICO.

If there is one institution III this
city which our citizens endorse and
point to with just pride it is the
public school.
Since it's organization years ago
everything has been done by an in
telligent and enterprising board OF
education, sustained by an enthusi-
astic and liberal people, to make it
not only the school of the city, but
to render it so efficient and attractive
as to occupy conspicuous place
among other schools of this class in
the state.
Progress is the watch-word on
every side. Our corps OF teachers is
the abiest that can be obtained; the
system of instruction and discipline
is the very best; the schools are
equipped with excellent apparatus
appropriate for the common branches.
the High School course of instruc-
tion Is liberal and practical, and
affords t2.the youth of our city rare
opportunities in the field of excel
. lence and culture. The High School

We learn from the American COM
mittee of the statue; of liberty that
the granite pedestal is nearly COM
pleted, and the work of erecting
Bartholdi's great statue will soon
commence, aud for this purpose a
considerable amount of money is still
required. The New York World
