he made an eloquent appeal to the
Council for the building of a side
walk to Missouri Military Acade-

advantages to the city and ended
his arguments by saying "several
years ago the City Council recog-
nized the interest that Hardin
College was to the city by giving
them a good sidewalk from the
city TO the college, then why not
recognize the interest of an insti-
tuition that is of as much interest to
the city as Hardin College"
Hon. G. F. Clark said, 81 am
willing to waive all notices. I say,
and insist, that it is a disgrace, not
only to the school, but to the City
OF Mexico, not to have a sidewalk
to such an institution. 1 aim to
be fair in the matter and do not
wish to be regarded as being OBJ
noxious or u~nfriendly to the city's
interest"

man c. R. Lupton to appropri-
ate $50 toward putting down a
sidewalk from Western Avenue to
Fleet school, the property owners
to do the rest of the work. Motion
accepted and carried. Col. Fleet
then made a congratulatory speech
to the Council thanking it very
cordially for the move it had made,
and extended an invitation to the
Council to come out sometime
and share the Inequalities of the
school.
An ordinance was read by the
City Attorney, Jesse Robertson, for
extending the city limits one-fourth
of a mile north and one-iourth of a
mile south, and ON motion of
Councilman r. NJ. White second
reading was waived, the ordinance

ed published.

motion, was referred to street and
alley committee.

marks in regard to condition of
street in front of his property and
on motion of r. NJ. White was re-
ferred to street and alley commit
tee with power to act.

ed to build sidewalks, G.. D. Ferris
and Lewis Phillip.
After the reading of several bills
they were allowed and the Council

DIVIDING RIDGE, Mo-, Nov. "a.

there have been on Dividing Ridge
but, perhaps, none more enjoya.
BILE than the one of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Potts. At about $50
O'Clock the guests carriages, bug
gies, spring wagons and go-carts
began rolling up through the side
gates of Mr.. Potts lawn. The day
opened with rather a cherries sky,
with shadows resting here and
there on Dividing Ridge, yet as the
day advanced the elements seemed
to r%elent; finally the sun forced
his rays until his beams fell in
abundance on the trim residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Potts, which was by
10 o'clock filled with their many
friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Potts were
presented with two handsome
rockers, one double couch, one
table linen; also by father of bride
one large base heating stove and
$40; BRIDES sister, Mrs. Patton,
two beautiful painted pictures,
ancient and modern. After dinner
we wandered through the parlors,
taking a glance at the fair seq. OF
course your scribe said nothing but,
as you know, mankind has always
been accustomed to think q good
deal about them and of them and
while all were talking, Eve mean
the ladies,) We only wished for the
LEDGER editor, for you would have
thought at once of what the good
hook says, "Out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth s~peaketh."
Everybody was glad but none too
jolly; not too much of anything ex-
cept dinner.
And now Miss Beckie and Mr. Bob
Are surely once more wed,
And may the clouds that gather
Break with blessings on your head.
