THE CAMDEN POINT SCHOOL.
The Christian Orphan College May
be Brought to this City.

Elder II. B. Davis, pastor of the
Christian Church. is IN receipt of a
letter from the Camden Point Or
phan School Board, stating that
bids for the location ofanew school
will soon be opened. This school
has been located at Camden Point
Tor a number of years, but the
buildings burned recently, and the
Board has determined upon a re-
moval. Camden Point is a small.
inaccessible place, and owing to
,hese facts the school did not
flourish as it would have had it
been located more advantageously.
The Board of Directors, consist
ing of Frank w. Allen, I. P. Haley
and NJ. NJ. Goode, will meet at
Camden Point within the week to
arrange for the receiving of bids for
the relocation of the college. The
old school, with all of its inacces-
sibility, had an attendance of over
one hundred, and half a dozen
teachers were employed. The to-
tai value of property was in 1888

other sources, S., 500; total income,

l50; amount for domestic and other
expenses, 81, 7,250; total expenses,
50, 400, number ofmatriculates, 110.
| The recent burning of the school
buildings makes the removal now
a certainty and it is for this pur-
pose that the Board meets this
week. Elder Davis has been writ
ten regarding the feasibility of
placing Mexico in the list of COM
peting towns. Steps will therefore
| likely be taken by the Christian
| Church of this city toward securing
the institution. This school is one
which would conflict in no way
with any other of like character in
| this section, while it would add
materially to the interests of the
town. The Camden College was
strictly a school of female learning
) and the new one will be of the
same character. A male school
will be the next move on foot and
it is more than probable that it
will be located in the town which
secures the Camden female school.
This school is worth going after,
and the Board of Trade should at
once cooperate with the members
of the Christian Church in an effort
to bring it here. With over ono
hundred matriculates at Camden
Point, the number could be swelled
to three hundred were the school
located here. The location and
railroad facilities of Mexico are un.
surpassed.

ONE OF THE FINEST.
A Public Institution That All
Mexicaus Should Point TO
With Pride.

There are many business houses
in this city to which resident may
point with just pride. 1t is with
pleasure that he looks about him
and secs, right here at home, such
magnificent stores and such I'M
mense stocks within them. One of
the very first he sees is that of Joe
G. Vic Barth, clothiers, whose firm
name stands as 81 synonym tor all
that is reliable, for low prices and
fair dealing. 1t has taken years
of hard work, scrupulous care IN
attending to the customers wants
and the most unflinching integrity,
to place this name SO high.
This morning, a reporter for the
LEDGER dropped intothis mammoth
establishment, and making his way
between customers and high piled
counters, he looked through the
stock. Such a complete line of
clothing was never brought TO Mex
leo before. The entire first floor of
the building is filled with every
thing that is new and desirable in
every grade of gentlemen's furnish
ngs, while trunks, heavy goods
and u general surplus stock are
kept up stairs. In hats, all the
latest shapes in American and ini-
! ported goods are showed at prices
that fairly take your breath away,
they are so low. The summer
goods that are not already here are
arriving daily, and a stock of Scotch
and French fannels will be shown

truly called a ripe old age The

cases. According to the European
standard of life, Grant, Tilden,
Sheridan, Lee, Hancock, Arthur,
Conkling, Seymour, Logan, Hen
bricks, aud a host OF othats too
numerous to mention, ought to be
with us yet. The men who escap-
ed the dangers of war have not
avoided the calamisies of compress
ing too much life within given
sp'ce of time. They have been
cut off when the ripeness of their
faculties gave the best promise of
fruit. Men attain an older age
elsewhere. The Emperor William
was every inch a soldier until his
93d year, and yet he had seen SER
vice equal to the best of them
Lord B-ougham, one of the hardest
worked men that ever lived, attain
ed the age of 81 years, and had a
vigorous mind to the last. Count
Won Moltke is in his eighty-fourth
year, and still survives. Glad
stone is eighty, and is ensiaving the
hearts of lrishmen every day of his

THAT part ofthe Indian Territory
which will be thrown open on April
22d by the Presidents proclama-
ton is not much over fifty miles
square and does not contain over
10000 quarter sections of available
land. Therefore it cannot satisfy
more than 10000 of the $1,000 or
2O,O00 men who are said to be
waiting to rush in to make entries.
There is consequently prospect
of trouble, and it is predicted that
in the absence of other convenient
means to decide disputes Winches-
ter rifles VIII be called into requi-
sition. However this may be, it is
at least certain that a great outcry
will soon be made for the opening
of other sections of the Indian $
domain.

The Democratic party has been
defeated before, and it has been
victorious before but always
maintaining the doctrine of popular
rights against the encroachments
of the pampered classes. No de-
feat is irretfievable until a party
is recreant to the faith Off fathers;
until, in the moment of weakness
and despair, it adopts the counsel
of some false Achitophel and sur
renders, bag and baggage, to the

THE meeting in New York the
other day in aid of the proposed
home for Confederate soldiers was
a notable occurrence. There were
present some who fought on the
Confederate side and many who
fought on the federal side, among
the latter being Carl Schurz, Gen.
Barnum and other representatives
Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. For Northern men TO unite
with the south III this charity is a
fitting and generous act; and the
raising of a large sum of money in
the North for the feeble. disabled
and homeless warriors in the South
ought to be accomplished without
any great difficulty.

to sell creamery and cheese fac
tory, as will be seen from another

HANCE FOR A CREAMERY.
Davis & Rankin, Chicago Contrac-
tors, Desire to Put in Plant
Their Terms.

Mr.. c. L. Hall, representing
Davis & Rankin, Chicago con,rae-
tors, is in the city for the purpose
of learning the feeling here toward
such an enterprise as a creamery
and cheese factory. This firm
manufactures all creamery supplies
and contracts for the erection and
outfitting OF cheese and butter fac
tories. Davis d Rankin take no in
terest in the creamery companies
formed, but merely render services,
as experts, in the construction and
starting of the works. When COM
pleted, the factories are all sup
piled with competent men by the
contractors, who further agree to
supply men at any time an addi-
tionai force is needed.
For $6S5O the Chicago firm will
put in cheese and butter plant
complete and ready to put into in-
slant operation. With this plant
%, 900 pounds of milk may be
handled daily. Converted into
butter 1t will make about 900
pounds,or lnte cheese, ,2o0O pounds.
The building proposed by Messrs
Davis q Rankin will be of wood,
two stories in height, and built on
scientific principles, as demanded
| for manufactures of this character
The building proper will be 52x32
feet IN size, while near at hand sew
eral necessary out-buildings will
be constructed. Mr.. Hall states
that the profits in this business
are never less than ID per cent. Oh

quently reach 40 per cent. Ons
factory in Kansas, built by Davis
& Rankin, paid $4,000 to the
farmers for milk, last year, and
another one pad S32, 900. The
milk is paid for monthly and the
farmers are thus afforded a steady
and valuable side income. There
is but one creamery in this vicinity
and that one owned by the Browns,
of near Hatton. II is a recently
established enterprise, but the in
vestment Is proving very profit
able one for the owners.
Mr.. Hall, the representative et
Davis d Rankin, intends calling u
public meeting to be held very like
lily on next Monday, at which hs,
hopes to an expression ON this in
teresting subject. He will explain
his plans fully at this meeting and
whatever course is pursued at that
time will determine the outcome OF
the enterprise. Itis sure that such
a factory as this would be of lnesti-

What will our population be :?
Who shall say? The United
States to-day contains over 60,OO0,-
900 people, who increase at the rate
of about 25 per cent. in every de-
cade, SO that at the close of the
next century the increment would
have run up to a total of not less
than 400 100000 souls. Take the
population of ali the other States,
and countries as likely to come un-
der our sway and another 10000,
600 would be easily added. In the
year of our Lord 1000, and the
year of the independence of the
United States the 224th, it will be
no longer the United States of
North America, but the United
States of North, Central and South
America, and the then President
will then issue his Thanksgiving
day proclamation to nearly a
thousand million prople. The
