J.F Rucker.

From the Fayette Independent.
We want to say a word this week
in behalf of our old true and tried
friend John T. Rucker, of Boone
county, who is a candidate for
Secretary of State. We have
known him for nearly thirty years.
He has always been a true Demo-
crat and one of the purest in the
State. He has had long experience
in the party, and in all his acts
not a disreputable action can be
attributed to him. He is also our
neighbor, and in all our political
fights has proved his friendship
towards Howard county. Wehope
therefore, the delegation from
Howard will cast a solid vote for
him. Boone IS a great county.
She has no other candidate in the
field. She comedies Howard the
Senator, is for John T. Heard fol-
Congress. She contains good and
true men, qualified to fill any
office, and yet she only seeks the
election of Mr.. Rucker, and he il
Justly entitled to the prize, and
what is more, the indications poinl
to him as the coming man.

Hon. e. G. Kennen.

rEcIi Tic EIdiihtoHu OHfouiCiC.
The attention of our readers is
called to the announcement of Hon.
E. G. Kennen, of Audrain county,
candidate for State Senator from
this Senatorial district. This is
Audrain's time, and were we to
pick the county-or district either,
for that matter-over, we could
not name a better man for the posi-
ton than Mr.. Kennen. He is a
fearless, upright Democrat, and
thoroughly qualified for the posi-
ton he seeks. Pike county ought
to give him her hearty support.

SAM JONES was greeted with a
crowded house Monday night, but
his TRADE of abuse and insults was
not well received. Some of Mexico's
most deyout Christians left in dis
gust before the circus was one-half
over, and many others, especially
ladies, were sorry they could not
sink through the floor. Nothing
could have been more inappropri-
ate than the opening ofsuch a show
With prayer, and we are sure no

such exhibitions. The SasroaS

RUSH HILL, Mo-, May 22.-The
third annual exhibition of the
Clark Sisters Seminary was held
at the church on Thursday evening
May II, and despite the threaten
ing clouds and showers of rain the
church could not seat one half who
came to hear the exercise, which
showed in what estimation the
school is held. The programme
was a well selected one and was
very interesting, showing the
thoroughness of the training the
scholars had received. The exam
nations were well attended and
the scholars acquitted themselves
with credit. We would say that
the school has no superior in the
State and few equals for thorough
ness.

I have wrote the following letter

Col. CLAY complains that the
LEDGER did not announce him in
the same manner 1t did the other
candidates. We announced Col. Clay
in exactly the language dictated to
US by S. B. Cook, who represented
the Colonel, who at that time was
in Mississippi.
