More Than $1,000 Worth of Bind.
ing Irvine Retailed by one
Firm,

Mr.. G. Leslie Ferris, the hust-
ling hardware man, has contracted
with the Audrain County Wheelers
to furnish them with binding Irvine
this season.
AS a result, a large number OF
farmers will come to Mexico to do
their trading, who would other
wise have gone to neighboring
towns. This is a point alone that
will be worth hundreds of dollars
to Mexico, and the intelligent far
mer, once buying of the local mer-
chants, cannot fail to see the adj
vantage in coming to a large town
to trade.
Mr.. Ferris is to be congratulated
on this move. Besides being OF
value to the city, his own business
will be greatly built up above its
already large dimensions. The
stock of hardware, farm machinery
spring wagons, buggies, ETC., KEEP
by this firm is large and in every
way complete.
Mr.. Ferris manner of doing bus
mess is a pleasure to all who trade
at his house.

I suppose a woman is never
brought face to face with the awful
way she is squeezing her patient
viseera till she tries to put on her
stays while in her berth on a car.
The task even to a woman who
supposes honestly that she does
not lace at all liz almost impossible.
If you are in a lower berth, you
have to give it up, and slide out,
and stand between the berths and
the curtain. No woman has ever
yet accomplished this without be-
ing head and shoulders above the
upper berth. OF course, you can
at least turn your back and pretend
you don't know how your head is
intruding. The chances are the
man will be awfully conscious OF
scanty attire, and will forthwith
duck under the sheet and pray
heaven that you won't turn your
head, but then again he may be
one of those self-pessessed, cold.
blooded wretches, who Is quite
equal to just keeping still, and
counting your corset laces in a hall
whisper, while you hope the ROOT
will, as soon as you have gotten
off the car, fall in and crush him.
