Correspondence of the Ledger.
WORCESTER, Mo-, Nov. H.
News items of very much impor-
lance are scarce this week, as it
has been so rainy and bad that
much of the rush and boom of our
city has been omitted. The hotel
registers disclose the fact that no
new arrivals have appeared this
week.
The bulletin board announced at
6 o'clock yesterday morning that
"Palmer got there" and that John
Lane, of Mexico, was the hap
piest man in Missouri.
Mr.. McGowen and family have
moved to Laddonia to reside.
Mr.. Joe Able bought Mr.. Bob
Worrell's corn as rent on the PIlch.
er farm at AZ cts, shucked and de-
livered. Corn has advanced to SO
cents and no one can find it for
sale at that. Oats are worth 40 cts.
1t is perfectly amusing to e and
hear the guessing on that bean jar
Crigler's store. 1t holds one quart
of nails, beans, coffee, tacks and
a few shot, all mixed, and the
guesses run from 100 to 5000. 1t
costs noting to guess and the near
est figure gets 100 lbs. of Belle.

A GREAT AMERICAN MAGAZINE.
The Success Of Tho Century and its
Plans for 1891.

The Century Magazine is now 80
well-known that 80 tell of its past
success seems almost an old story.
The n. Y. Tribune has said that
1t and its companion, St. Nicholas
for Young Folks, issued by the
same house, ''are read by every
one person in thirty of the coun-
try's population" and large edl-
tions Of both are sent beyond the
seas. 1t is an interesting fact that
a few years ago it was found that
seven thousand copies of The
Century went to Scotland-quite q
respectable edition in itself. The
question in England Is no longer
"Who reads an American book"
but "Who does not see the Ameri.
can magazines2"
A few years ago The Century
about doubled its circulation with
the famous War Papers, by General
Grant and others, adding many
more readers later with the Llncoln
History and Kennan's thrilling
articles on the Siberian Exile Sys
tenn. One great feature of 1891 is
to be
