A Happy Occasion

The home and lawn of Mr.. T. II.
Lawrence, of Auxvasse, was bril-
liantiy lighted Wednesday evening
in honor of the homecoming of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Lawrence, nee
Miss Unua Searcy, of Kansas City.
Glad smiles and joyous greetings
were seen and heard on every
hand, as the guests mingled in their
happiness to welcome the gentle
bride. Not least of the enjoyments
of the evening was the feast, for
feast it was. The tables were
handsomely decorated, and every.
thing to tempt the appetite was
there. After a delightful evening
the friends departed only wishing
such events might come often.

$40, 900 TRADE.
James Shock Trades 1000 Acres
of Land for 800 Acres-The
Difference Between two
States.

By big trade, which was made
to-day, ,Audrain loses one of her best
citizens, but regains one of the
same kind, who left US sometime
since. John Sims, who has fine
457 acre farm 4 miles east of Cen
tralia, to-day traded this farm to
Jas. Shock for 300 acres of Ark
ansas land, two residences in
Hazen, Ark, some stock and s3,-
600 in money. The trade amounts
to a $4,000 deal. Mr.. Sims will
at once sell his stock and move to
Arkansas to live, and Mr.. Shock
will move back to Audrain. Mr..
Sims is one of Audrain's most
worthy and prosperous citizens,
and we hate to see HIM go, but are
glad to welcome Mr.. Shock home
again, he having only been gone a
short while.

MEXICO, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1880
" Charge, Muster, Charge. !,


Joe Muster, City Marshal of
Martinsburg, Is 61 years old, but
the swiftest man on earth of his
age. Horace Greeley, dusky law
breaker, wanted IN Columbia, lives
in the burg, and Sunday Joe start
ed out to arrest the dad drafted
| coon." After arresting' Mr.. Coon, "
Horace told him he - lied 10
turn his cows out before going to
Columbia, as he might never get
back, because they had a way of
hanging colored people out of the
window up there lately" Joe,
being accommodating and wishing
that Greeley's idea about not get
ting back from Columbia might
be true, allowed him to attend to
the cows. AS soon as Greeley got
loose he started for tall timber with
Marshal Muster in pursuit and all
the inhabitants of Martinsburg,
headed by Uncle Gale Martin,
bringing up the rear. Joe kept up
G. B. gait for about three hun
! dred yards, when he had to give it
up, and the remarks made would
net do to report in Sunday School,
although lie says "dad drat" was
the nearest he came to swearing.
Uncle Gale Martin says Joe would
have cought the coon but his legs
did not act right. Joe's feet ap-
peared to fly up behind as if on
hinges, striking him just below the
shoulders and causing him to lose
| ground every hope.

If young ladies were as spunky
as they should be, they would re-
fuse to accept an escort home from
church IN the person of young men
or boys who go to church especially
for that purpose, and generally
enter the church house late and oc-
cupy the back pews. If a young
man has not the courage and cour-
tesy to call on a young lady at
her home and escort her to church
and other public gatherings. she
should politely inform him that she
found the way alone to church and
could find the way home alone.
IF young ladies would do this they
would soon end the crowding in
and outside the church door by
young men, many of whom seem
to think that their mission in life
is to act as escorts in the manner
we have refarred to above.--Ex.

BOYS, young men and some
times old men, get notion in their
heads that they must leave the
farm and come to town. Stay on
the farm, boys; you are doing well,
making living and saving little
every year. Every town is full of
people, many of whom can find
nothing to do even if they desire to
ytfk. God made the country and
IN made the towns. You are
happy, free from trouble, free from
tsmptation and have nothing to
sain and all to lose by giving up
your farm and moving to town. If
yon have an idea that you can live
in town without work you are mis-
taken, as you will find out to your
aofrow when what little you have
saved is gone. There is no more
independent way of living than
hfming. There is no more hap
per life. Farmers live longer and
afe more ready to die when the
ens comes than any other class of
eople in the world. Boys, when
ser you get the idea into your
aeAd that it is a disgrace to till the
and that town is the place for
ou, it is time to call halt. You
~ about to make the mistake of
onr life. These are not mere
aie words but business facts, as
amy can tell you from dear ex-
hence, and there is no town in
country where you can not
e living % examples of what
os1ns: to town to escape work.

A FAMILY REUNITED.
Rudolph shrecker, Thought to be
Dead, Turns up IN st. Louis,
Where He and Family
are Living.

Sometime during the spring of
1888 one Rudolph Snrecker, a
German farmer who lived about z
miles northeast of town, suddenly
disappeared, leaving his family In
almost destitute circumstances. A
number of theories as to what be-
came of the missing German were
advanced bat the one which seemed
to prevail was, that he had COM
mitted suicide. For awhile it was
thought he had returned to his ma
tive land, but letters of inquiry to
Germany failed to elicit any in
formation of the person sought. A
remittance of money came from
Shrecker's mother in the old coun-
try every month, his relatives there
being quite wealthy. AS he had
not shown up at his old home, his
kinspeople became uneasy and be-
gun a systematic search throughout
Germany. Finally, after many
months, Shrecker's family and
friends came to the conclusion he
had made away with himself, but
why he should take such step
could not be OWNED, Mrs. Shrecker
soon found she could not manage
the farm and make enough out of it
to live upon, and, with her child
rem, went to st. Louis, where she
had relatives. Her people in that
city, who were cognizant OF
Shrecker's disappearance, took the
mother and little family in and
cared for them. Once or twice
some of Mrs. Shrecker's people in
St. Louis thought they had seen a
man resembling Shrecker lettering
about in the locality where the
wife was stopping, but he never
came near enough for his identity
to be established. No more atten-
tion was given the g. matter until
some weeks later the same man
was seen walking by the house on
the opposite side of the street.
The wife stepped to the door and
hailed her husband. while his lit
tie children ran out into the street
and threw their arms about their
| fathers neck in great glee.
Explanations followed, the family
was united, and father, mother and
children are now living comforta.
bly, in St. Louis, where Shrecker,
who is a thrifty man, is engaged in
some kind of business and is pros.
pering. We agree with Billy
Shakespeare, who wrote "All's well
that ends WELL"

An Agreeable Surprise.

Samuel T. Hook, of Mexico, No.,
one Of the best hearted men in the
State, called on the Democrat Sat-
urday. Mr.. Hook arrived here
Friday with his daughter, Miss
Mary, who will attend school at
the Christian University. Mr..
Hook is delighted with his visit
here and pleased with the beauty
of the city an surrounding country.
Mr.. Hook related to US pleas
ant incident which happened on a
train coming to Nevada, being one of
the interested parties. He said
that lady and her daughter were
on the train, and accidently they
engaged in conversation. Finally
he asked the lady where her daugh-
ter and herself were going, the
lady replying to Nevada. Mr..
Hook informed her that his daugh-
ter and himself were also going to
Nevada. Introductions followed.
The lady gave her name as Mrs.
Avery, stating she would visit her
brother, Mr.. Sheets. Mr.. Hook re-
marked that an uncle of his by the
name of Warren Sheets, lived in
Galloway county, and Mrs. Avery
supplemented this remark by stat
ing Warren Sheets was also her
uncle, he being cousin of the late
Wyman Grow, of St. Louis, at one
time aprominentand wealthy citizen
of that city. At the mention of the
name of Wyman Crow, a young
man stepped up and gave the name
of Galen Grow, Jr., stating he was
a nephew of the lamented gentle
man spoken of. 1t thus became
evident that all the parties were
distantly related, and the remain
der of the trip was quite pleasant.

Failures in the wheat crop may,
I think, quite often be attributed to
late sowing. Where the ground is
put into good condition by thor
ough pleughing and narrowing, if
the seeding is early and well done,
unless the season turns out unusu-
ally bad, a fair crop may be expect
ed. The seeds should be Of the
best and from crops that were free
from rust or smut. The use of
fertilizers has made the wheat crop
a much more certain one than it
was some years ago when failures
were so common as to be generally
exp ected. At least two hundred
pounds to the acre, and more
would be better, should be drilled
in with the wheat. Drilling is
much superior to broadcast sowing,
not only in putting in the seed but
also in applying the fertilizers.
Commonly 200 pounds drilled will
give as good results as double that
amount scattered broadcast. It is
important for the young plants to
get good start and a vigorous
growth so as to pass safely through
the winter and spring.

In conversation with Mr.. Jaco

In conversation with Mr.. Jacob
Brigal, a LEDGER subscriber of near
Martlnsburg, representative OF
this paper was much surprised to
find what an amount of profit is to
be gained from hog raising. Brigal
states that three years ago he in
vested 81 so in five shoats. Two
of these he sold, the other three
(sows) he has yet, together with
two shoats. During the three
years that he has had these three
sows, he sold hogs raised from
them to the amount of 1904 so.
From this, which is positive fact,
We judge that many of our farmers
would do well to invest more in
young shoats.

planned by the fact that each in
dividual in England is rapidly in

wealth is not sensibly increasing
per capita. From 1870 to 1880 it
only increased from s905 to s940.
