Dogs Versus Sheep.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
Inspired by the pain of an injury
| would ask a space in your paper
to express the sentiments of a tax
payer and citizen of Audrain coun-
ty. 1t is a shame and a disgrace to
the county and State that one of the
most profitable and necessary in
dustries in the State, the sheep in
dustry, is subject to the invasion of
the worthless cur, it has been the
sad experience of the writer of this
article to have a flock of $50 ewes,
quietly feeding upon my pasture,
invaded recently by a metely pack
of worthless dogs at the most criti-
cal period of the season with such a
flock. | am unable to estimate the
damage. found them scattered
over my pasture dead, dying, man
gled and torn, with their threats
cut, hams and shoulders eaten out,
and still breathing, a sight to make
a strong mans heart ache. | ask
your many readers to stop and
think; is it fair or honorable to
subject the flock owners of this
county to such treatment? The
dog is the only privileged character
among our domesticated animals.
If your horse, hog, COW or sheep get
liberty even on the public highways,
some one will take it up and the
owner is subject to a fine, but the
prowling cur has the right to go I'M
molested and without restraint over
the hills and through the valleys of
our fields and pastures, and if a
man makes his objection known
with a shotgun or strychnine the
strong urn of the law steps in and
makes him pay dearly for it. Is the
flock owner the only sufferer by rea-
son Of dogs not being restrained?
Not by any means; it is a very
common occurrence to have them
strike out through the country load
ed with that dreadful poison, hydro
phobia, biting and booming to Il
horrible death everything that hap
pens to cross their path. Is it not
high time for the intelligent citi,
zens of this great State to take some
steps to restrain the dogs, the curse
of civilization? They can be made
as harmless as a snake without
teeth by making them wear a muz
zle. If a man doesn't want to muz'
zle his dog and insists on having
one to ornament his home, let hin
stake him in his front yard OF block
him: if not he should be fined anC
his dog considered public nuisance
and an enemy to the best interest:
of man. Yours Respectfully,

w. W. WATKINS, of Yandalia,
was in Mexico to-day and made the
LEDGER a pleasant call. He was
born in New London, Rails county,
in 1888. His father represented
that county in the Legislature in
1916, during which session the Han
nlbal d st. Joe Railroad was char
tered. This was the first railroad
built in Missouri. Squire Watkins
has lived in Audrain county for
twelve years and has held several
offices of honor and trust. He was
admitted to the practice of law in
1876, and praeticed law with Rich
ard Dalton two years. Squire
Watkins is well known to our read
ers, especially those who live in the
eastern portion of the county. Many
OF his friends have asked him to be-
come a candidate for the Legislature,
but be has not yet consented. He
says that he viii make up his mind
some time between now and the
middle of next week.

A PRETTY SIGHT
The Exquisite Millinery Goods To Be
Seen at Miss R0sam0nd's-
A Visit to Her Store.

There are few men who take a
special interest in hats for ladies,
but with an eye for the beautiful and
artistic, he cannot do else than adj
mire the dainty spring chapeau of
this season.
1t was the pleasure of a LEDGER
representative to be shown through
Miss Rosamond's line of spring
millinery, and is our opinion the
ladies of Mexico will stand by the
assertion that prettier goods were
never exhibited to the public. The
spring hats are the loveliest ever
seen-trimmed in lilacs, sweet peas,
etc.-the very looks of them cheers
one. Miss Rosamond has excel.
lent taste and Judgment and may
well feel proud, in our estimation
of her pretty millinery stock which
she now has in her establishment.

ducts Of the farm are bringing the
highest figures during the year, it is
almost impossible to reach the mar
ket, although you live only a few
miles from town. A good system
of roads throughout a county like
Audrain is to-day of more import
ance than railroads. A temporary
organization was formed In Mexico
not long since for road improvement
and we trust this matter viii not be

Mr.. Medley's record as a member

prominent citizens of Audrain coun-

causes which induced Mr.. Medley
to change his mind after White an
nounced we presume are pretty
thoroughly understood by the pub
lie. In reference to matters of
public interest and public policy,
we do not presume there will
be very much at issue be-
