MARrISsnuRG, March 27.-Mr.
Adrain, a few miles north Of town,
died very suddenly while sitting
in his chair, apparently perfectly
well. last Saturday.
Willie Pike, who has been lying
very low with typhoid fever for
several weeks, is slowly improving.
Our public.school closed Friday.
The afternoon was spent in exer-
cises of q much entertaining and
pleasant character, at the close Of
which Prof. Torreyson addressed
the assembly, in the eloquence of
Demosthenes.
The debate, which has been an
important feature Of the winters
festivities, closed last Friday eve,
sine die. The surplus in the
treasury resolved into the two
Sunday schools.
The transfer of real estate was
somewhat retarded last week by
the hot, dry wave which passed
over the county on Tuesday.
Mrs. Chas. Rollings, who has
been visiting at her parents. Col.
Cepeland's, returned to st. Louis on
Saturday.
Mr.. Adolph Fennewald has
been almost laid up with his back,
for several days, while Mrs. Fen
newald and her children look
quite interesting with the mumps.

The boom of last spring was a
forced one, while this year it comes
of It's own accord. It was accom-
panied by no good effects last year,
this season heavy transfers are
taking place, backed by substan-
tial improvement of resident and
business property Lakenan &
Barnes purchased a beautiful IT
acre piece of resident property this
morning. 1t lies just south of
their first addition, in Southwest
Mexico. They will likely lay it off
in town lots at once. Business
property has been unusually live
this year, as has been noticed.
The LEDGER feels confident that
the coming season will develop
wonderful things for Mexico, and
we will not have a "boom," either.

Objected to BEING Dunned.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, March 81
James Michaels owed James FL.
Orr, a grocer of this city, s1.1o, and
Orr dunned him by sending him
bills through the mail inclosed in
envelopes on which we're the
words, ''Sprague's bad debt collect
ing agency-colleeting bad debts a
speciality" conspicuously printed
in large black letters, covering
nearly the whole face of the en-
velope. The other day Michaels
entered suit in the Hannibal Court
of Common Pleas against Orr for
libel, asking $4,000 damages, by
reason of the obnoxious envelope
passing through the mail, 'thereby
provoking plaintiff to wrath, ex-
posing him to public hatred, con-
tempt and ridicule and depriving
him of the benefits of public con-
fidence and social intercourse"

Attention, Wool Growers

MEXICO, Mo-, March 28.-In
view of the proposed tariff legis-
lation which discriminates unjust
ly against wool and threatens in
jury to sheep husbandry in this
county, the wool growers and
dealers named below urge united
action for the purpose of self pro-
lection.
AS the State Wool Growers AS
ISOLATION meets at Sedalia April
4th and 9Th, it is thought best to
call a meeting before that date.
Therefore, the wool growers of Au-
drain county and friends of the
wool growing industry are request
ed to meet at the Court House at
Mexico, Saturday, March 81, at 10
o'clock a. M, for the purpose of
taking such action as they deem
advisable on all matters pertaining
to sheep husbandry.

subscribe literally to the enterprise
and be ready at any time to work
tremendously with the towns men,
toned. This is a rich country
here and all it needs is an outlet.
Ashland is nearly OF a direct line
