Correspondence of the Ledger.
WORCESTER, Mo-, Aug. 12.-Mr.
Mont Iiams, of st. Louis, has been
visiting relatives and friends in
Worcester. He holds a good posi-
ton as conductor on the Franklin
Avenue cable line of St. Louis.
The protracted meeting at Bethel
was a big success. Several addi.
tons to the church were made.
The entire country for miles around
focked there each day to hear the
gospel preached.
We understand your famous Mex
leo Browns have disbanded and
that the beautiful park is going to
be put IN turnips. That's too bad.
but we can now occupy the top
round in the ball line. Worcester
is up and ready this year. Any
club in the county that has any
thing to say will please address us
at Worcester.
Mr.. Johnnie Carr, of Illinois, has
been visiting his relatives at this
place. He is a grandchlId of Un-
Gle Jimmie Logan, of Mexico, and
has not been here for seven years.
Mr.. Editor, we are sorry to read
from "Fay's" silvery pen that she
cannot be at the feast. / move,
sir, that as we recognize her as the
LEDGER's most interesting CORES
pondent, "that we extend to her a
most cordial invitation to be with
US on that OCCASION" The time
should be fixed for her conven-
fence, and we, as home writers,
could be ready any time. We can
drink to her success much better
when we meet face to face. Let US
hear from other points. We wish
to see a writer capable of furnish
ing such newsy and beautifully ex-
pressed letters. We are longing
for the Exposition to open. W.
want to read Gays First" to the
LEDGER.
Your correspondent is somewhat
unacquainted with his neighbor.
hood news, as he has been rallying
around since he last wrote. He
took in the best fair in the State
at Mexico, OF course; went to St.
Charles to the convention; saw the
respective delegations cast their
solid vote for R. H. Norton, except
Pike. From St. Charles we went
to st. Louis and spent Sc hours In
that city, visited Schnaider's Park,
where thousands of people were
enjoying life regardless of any re-
sponsibilities whatever. This park
furnishes a fine troupe each week,
which draws crowded houses each
evening. On Sunday at $50 We
started for old Audrain. Mexico
didn't look like herself. When we
left, her streets were jammed and
packed with good people winding
their way over the town and out to
the great Fair, but when we re-
turned the crowd was gone and her
streets deserted. Our Fair has al.
most a national reputation. Every
body we met in St. Charles and
st. Louis, that knew US, would say
something about the 5000 people
who packed the Fair Grounds last
Thursday to see the races and hear
Mills. Horse men say "that Mex
leo had more horses this year than
st. Louis ever has" On we came
to Worcester and on reaching the
city limits we heard of the serious
illness of our friend, J. L. Carnes.
We Immediately went to see him
and found him much better, and
think at this writing that he will
likely recover. Dr.. Comet has
charge of the case, with DR.. Wal
ker. OF Mexico, and DR.. Crawford,
of Rush Hill, IN counsel.
No other changes or news in this
end.
Tell the people to call around
and sac that new stock at Crigler's
store. He wants to see them.
Town TALE.
