A LONG CHRISTIAN LIFE ENDED.
"Aunt Polly Luckie Passed From
Earth to Heaven ut Sunset
Sunday Evening.

The tolling of the Baptist Church
bell Sunday night the
death of one of the Oldest Baptists in
Missouri "Aunt Polly" Luckie,
90 years on earthaand about 20 years
a devout member of the Baptist de-
nomination. Mrs. Luckie was ill
for several days with the fux and
became dangerously bad Saturday.
She was apparently conscious until
she passed from earth but could not
speak. Before she became speech
less she took Rev. Rogers by the
hand and pathetically inquired of
him; "How much longer do you
think it will be before my Father
calls me homer" At 20 minutes to
S O'Clock Sunday evening she died.
Mrs. Luckie's right name was
Mary, but every one called her
"Aunt Polly" She came from
Clark county, Ky, in 1851 with her
deceased husband, John Luekie,
and setted in Galloway county. In
1856 Mr.. and Mrs. Luckie moved
to Mexico, where they both resided
until death. Before her marriage
in Kentucky Mrs. Luckie was a
Miss Lander, and last January her
brother, Samuel Lander, died at
Bloomington, ILL.,, at the age of "a
years. Mrs. Luckie had been an
exemplary member of the Mission
AIRY Baptist Church for about 20
years and her walk through life was
truly worthy of imitation. She
and her husband were blessed with
five children, all of whom are living.
They are: Mrs. Addie Reed, of
Macon City, Mo-, J. w. Luckie,
Mrs. Mary M. Sims, J. Il. Luckie
and Mrs. Rachel Bridgford, all now
of this city.
The funeral services were held at
5 O'Clock Monday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. A. E. Rogers. The
remains were inferred in the city
cemetery.

Editorial Correspondence of the Ledger.
CHICAGO, Ill, August 15.-Chi-
cage is a sure enough city. Here
you find anything you want without
asking for it. 1t takes a good many
things to constitute a city. Chicago
has all of them and a Worlds Fair
thrown in-or, rather, will have a
Worlds Fair if the managers get
another crack at the public crib.
The buildings for the grand Expo
sition are fast nearing completion
and will be finished as soon as the
money rum out. Chicago is like
Mexico. 1t is bigger than Mexico,
but its streets and sewerage are like
ours and you can feel the baccilil
tickle your throat and taste death
when you drink the water. Very
few people in Chicago drink water,
though. No one uses ii to wash with.
The present curiosities here are the
tall buildings (some "a stories high)
and what you find in the Chicago
river. You can find anything in
the river; it is a curio cesspool.
There seems to be n good deal of
politics in Chicago but not so much
as we have in Mexico. Mexico is
the fountain head of politics and the
home of politicians who think they
are statesmen. One thing is sure,
the people of Audrain show clearly
that they know what they want,
and won't be fooled by so many
pin-headed statesmen" out of a
job.
We leave Chicago 1--WE did not
like to take it with us) over the great
Trunk Line for Toronto where the
writer goes as a delegate from the
United States to the National Typo
thet@ meeting, which promises to
be one of the most interesting ever
held.
All the towns we have e the
size Of Mexico have paved streets,
sewerage and better depots. l don't
see why the LEDGER don't mention
the need Jul town has for these inn
provements. Keep working until
you get what you want. excepting
everlastingly at it," you know wins,
except in case of some o~ffice-seekers
who keep everlastingly at it but new
er win.
Mexico must have sewerage. Mex
leo needs paved streets and a new
depot. r. M. w.

second money for best ~all-purpose

mare any age; first money for best
three year old harness mare;
first money for best saddle horse,
mare or gelding, any age or
breed. In this ring there was a
very fine lot of saddle horses and
mares and it was quite an honor
fer Belle to capture half Of the hun
bred dollar stake over such a fine
field Of saddlers. Out of seven shows
Belle took six premiums.
re- alhoun's mare, Lady Mont
rose took first premium for best har-
ness mare | year old and under 1.
| She also took second money for best
mare any age or breed. This was
a very fine field of aged mares,
yearlings and colts and Lady Mont
rose did herself proud to take Sec
ond money in such a fine ring. The
owners Of Lady Montrose and Belle
are looking for new fields to con.
quer. They viii be heard from al
the st. Louis Fair and then you
may look out for them at the great
Worlds Fair. J. r. Wayne also
took a number Of premiums on his
fine harness mare and saddle horse.
Beaver Dam can boast OF having
horsemen that not only know good
horses when they see them but they
handle that kind.
