The suit of Mrs. Hoban against

The jury was out for some

and one was not in favor of giving
anything. The result in this case
will dampen the ardor of those who

RESOLUTIONS

ing, our valued friend and fellow
cilizen, Maj. r. E Lawder, died
on Thursday, Oct. 16, 1890, at 7
O'Clock, 3. M, at his home, one
mile east of Mexico. He was re-
puted to be a gallant Union officer
of the late war. His generous and
friendly conduct toward us As ex-
Confederates since We knew him,
led us to believe that he justly
deserved that reputation. We have
always found that the kind and
generous are ever brave. He sub
scribed and paid the first dollar to
the fund raised in Audrain county
for the ex- Confederate Home for
Confederate Soldiers, their widows
and orphans. Our memories shall
ever dwell pleasantly upon the
kindly acts of Maj. Lawder-in
the social circle, where he shone
the best, and in public matters we
shall greatly miss HIM.
Resolved, That in the death of
Mai. Lawder We have lost a true
and magnanimous friend, the coun-
ty an invaluable public-spirited
citizen, his family a kind parent
and affectionate husband. That
we tender to his bereaved and sor-
rowing family u deepest SYM
patty, and that the secretary of
this association furnish them with
a copy of these resolutions.
We recognize but for the action
and untiring efforts of the LEDGER
and Inteligeneer through their col
umns in making known to the peo-
ole of Audrain our wants, we never
would have been able to have rails
ed the handsome sum of 81 ,23O.6 go
for the ex-Confederate Home, which
the people of Audrain and Cen
tralia, Mo-, have so generously
contributed; therefore, be it
Resolved, That S. B. Cook anu
r. M. White are entitled to the
warmest and best thanks of this
association for the invaluable and
indispensable aid they have gwen
US through their papers In raising
the fund for the ex-ConfedeTate
Home for disabled ex-C Confederate
soldiers, their widows and orphans.
That we thank the good people
of Audrain and of Centralia who
contributed largely to T.. s. Wis
dom's list for the muniticent and
benefcent contribution to the fund
for the Confederate Home for dis
abled ex-Confederates their widows
and orphans; and we assure and
hereby pledge ourselves to them
that the fund they have so gener-
ously and freely ~placedin our hands
shall be carefully and faithfully

they gave it, and If not used to1
that purpose the last cent shall be

The La Crosse Company Spread

Other Improvements.

While in Louisiana, Mo-, this
week we had the pleasure of visit
ing the La Crosse Lumber Com
pany's big yards at that place.
This company is now taking out of
the river millions of feet of lumber
which has just been RATED down

winter will be shipped to the
branch yards, owned by the Buff
fums, who manage an immense
business every year. These gen.
tlemen now have seventeen yards
in this part of the State and are
looking at other good locations.
A large force of men work for this
company and the business extends
over a good deal of territory, but it
is SO managed that the system of
bookkeeping is perfect and every
thing works like clock-work. This
firm is adding thousands of dol
lars worth of Improvements, and
we judge the capacity Of it will be
greatly increased generally. The
active managers of this firm are
young men and pushers. They
know how to attend to business
properly, and knowing are always
