No Sham About Mexico.

tuC LutSlpItsC.
The sham battle was a "sham
sham" But it is clearly evident
that there is no sham about Mex
ico's growth, although she did fall
a few thousand short of her claims
as to population. Dozens of new
residences have been put up this
season and some of them are ele-
CANT houses. The new Fleet Col
lege building is an imposing and
handsome structure. This institu-
ton, under the management of so
noted an instructor as Prof. Fleet,
will doubtless contribute largely to
the social and financial interests OF
the town.

The Rails County Record says:
1t will be remembered by many Of
our readers that Ambrose 4. Coe,
who, in cold blood, murdered Miss
Abbie Summers at Ashley, Pike
county, Mo-, was pardoned by
Gov. Morehouse two years ago.
He went to Kansas directly afte,
being restored to liberty, and in 9
short time married. He lived with
his wife until the latter part of las,
month, when be killed her and he,
two brothers, and then placing the
murderous weapon to his OWE
worthless head, blew his brsins
out. Thus ends the life of one
who should have been hung wher
he committed his first murder.

Disappointed at Mexico.


Some Columbia citizens were in
Mexico last week to witness the
grand Sham Battle so extensively
advertised. They were greatly
disappointed at its character.
Only about 135 soldiers took
part in it and the maneuvering
was by no means first-class. The
Columbia visitors are not backward
in criticising with severity the
entire affair and say that the good
people of Mexico were also much
chagrined at the way the battle and
ball resulted. The attendance of
visitors was large, however, and
the encampment proved a drawing
card for our enterprising neighbor
city.
