CARTER CAUTHORN DEAD.
One of the Pioneer Citizens of Audrain
County Passes Away Mt tine Resi-.
dence of His Daughter in
This City.

One of the pioneer families who
settled in Audrain county was that
of Carter Cauthorn. He came from
Virginia in 1885. In 1886 he lived
in Lincoln county, in 1887 in Mon
roe county and in 1888 he came to
Audrain county. Mrs. Cauthorn,
who was Miss Eliza A. Colvin, of
Culpeper County, Va.s died at the
OLD homestead in 1882. Mr.. eau
thorn was born in 1902 in Virgin
la. There were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Cauthorn eleven children,
eight of whom are living. The de-
ceased children wereC arterC authorn,
Columbus Cauthorn and James eau
thorn. Those children living are Mrs.
I'D. Morris, Mrs. JIG. Sumner R. III.
Cauthorn, Andrew Cauthorn, Theo-
dore Cauthorn, Dan Cauthorn Albert
Cauthorn and Edward Cauthorn.
The children of the deceased are
among our most substantial and
highly respected citizens. Mr.. eau
thorn was one of the oldest settlers in
the county and did as much as any
man to develop our resources and
make Audrain what it is to-day.
The funeral services of deceased
took place at the residence of J. D.
Morris at $50 to-day.

CHOLERA CURE.
Some Simple Instructions In Refer.
ence to Treatment OF Asiatic
ChOIera.

Lieut.. Litterbrant of the Missouri
Military Academy, handed us a cir
eular issued from the Surgeon Gen.
erals office Of the War Department.
This circular is issued for the infor-
nation of medical officers who are
unfamiliar with the management of
cholera. We excerpt some very in
teresting statements from this valua-
BILE circular: Cholera is caused by a
specific germ, which must reach the
bowels in a living state. Cholera
germs live and multiply outside of
the body in the presence of decay
ing matter. This necessitates the
removing of all decaying matter
where found in a city threatened by
this disease. Cleanliness is the great
est preventative. In the next place
a strict quarantine should always be
made against afflicted localities.
Quarantine should be maintained in
fact and not in name. There should
be no unnecessary exposure to sun,
rain or night air. People should not
forget this. All goods infected or
supposed to be infected should be
destroyed. Quiet and calmness
should be insisted upon, as useless
excitement is of great assistance to
the disease. Acid drinks are rec
commended. The acids destroy the
bacteria in the stomach. In a case
of sickness from cholera no article of
food should be eaten which has not
been subjected to boiling heat before
it is eaten. All drinking water should
be boiled. Boiling water can be re-
lied upon to purify articles of cloth
ing or linen. Overhead of 230 de-
grees Fahrenheit continued for two
hours is useful in dealing with in
fected clothing. When a person is
first taken with the cholera applica-
tons of mustard to the stomach and
hot. brandy punch in small doses
or laudanum in doses of thirty drops
should be given until a physician
can be summoned.

Narrow Escape.

Carrie Ringo, the II year old
daughter of James Ringo, had a
narrow escape from falling in a well
this week. She was standing on the
well top, which, being old and hav-
ing deeayed, fell in. Carries dress
caught on a nail and she hung head
down. She retained her presence of
mind and called to her mother who
Immediately came to her assistance
and helped her out. IF she had fallen
in she would likely have been drown
ed, as the well is deep and she
started head down.

Bad R0ads.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
AT HOME, Sept. 21.-Is nothing
to be done this fall with the road
from Salt River to Mrs. Gov. Har-
din's? Is it possible that the citi-
zens on the three branching roads
north and west from this point are
willing to be mudded-in and cut off
from town for two or three months
as we were last winter and spring?
Will not some enterprising man
move in this important matter? Let
an estimate be made of the cost OF
fixing this road well and let SUBJ
scriptions be opened at once and
l am sure this work can be done.
1t is worse than useless to wrangle
and speculate longer about the road
law bullet this work be done by those
interested, both in town and coun-
try. Every business firm in Mexico
is interested and certainly every
farmer within the limit of fifteen or
twenty miles from town, on these
roads, is vitality interested in this
matter. With 30 many deeply in
terested parties the expense of this
one-half mile of roadewould be very
small to each one. There are not
less than sixty farms on the line OF
these roads within the distance of
ten miles from the bridge, and adj
ded to the sum that ought to be
contributed by the business men OF
Mexico, how small would be the
tax to each farmer to make this
road. 1t must be done and done
quickly or we shall soon have to go
into winter quarters and remain till
next May. Who will make the es-
innate and do the work? The
money can be raised. What say
you, Messrs. Bolts, johnson, Lewis,
Brown, Carter, Hill, Fox, Orear,
Harris and all others on the liner
yon men who go to town every Sat
urday. Ell. X. HrNDE.

Died.

At Springfield, Mo-, Friday, Aug,
26, Stanley Jacobs, Oldest son of Mr..
E. T. Jacobs, formerly Of this coun-
ty, three miles west of Mexico.
Stanley was born Sept. 4th, 1873,
and consequently was nearly IA
years old when he died. His mother
died in his infancy and he has been
most carefully and lovingly reared
by his grandmother, aunt and father.
Most nobly he repaid their care, be.
ing a fine student, of always good
department and a boy who made
hosts of friends. Naturally we looked
that he should live long and have
an unusually grand and useful
career. But disappointment is the
lot of fond affection.
God called him in and shut the door;
We see his shining face no more,
But this W. know, hat face Is bright
Forever in the land Of light.
