While others have boosted of their

the West Side, occupied by James
Garrett & Co., stands above them
all as suited for a 6rst-class hard
ware stock. 1t is stored from base
ment to the top story with such
goods as John Deere plows and
planters and Bradley disc cultiya-
tors, Columbus and St. Louis bug
gies and spring wagons and as
large stock of cook stoves as we ever
saw in a hardware store in the
state. This firm has received five
car load of goods this spring-such
as farm wagons, plows, disc eultiva.
tors, buggies, barb wire and stoves
and many other goods. 1t looks as
though they had goods enough for
five years for Mexico trade, but as
they say they have the best line oil
goods made and have a large &C
quaintance in Audrain county, they
must and will sell them out this sea-
son and will sell f~rst-class goods as
cheap as any hardware house in the
state. Any one wanting any goods
In these lines will find it to their in

seven days old and had been sick
since Nov. 8. She bore her suffer
ing patiently and without murmur-
ing until her death which came to
her suddenly. She passed from
earth to heaven without a struggle.
IT'S sweet to die in the faith of the
Lord. So calm and undisturbed
her sweet spirit scared on white
wings to its home above. She ex-
pressed her explicit love for her
Master and said he was very near
her side. Deceased was a member
of the Christian church having con-
tossed her faith October, 1891. She
was true to her God and universally
loved by all who knew her. She
leaves a father, mother, six sisters
and two brothers her absence to
mourn. Their heavy loss is to Sc
cure her eternal gain. God called
her to Heaven that whore oul
treasures are there will our hearts
be also. "Peace to her silent slum.

A NEW VOTING scnRn
You Press the Button and the Patent
Does the Rest.

j. A. Glandon has our thanks for
an Illuminated circular explaining q
new patent mode of voting. 1t is
called the Automatic Voting Cabi-
net and is made by the Meyers
American Ballot Machine Co. of
Rochester, N. Y. This continuance
is so arranged that when you 90 to
the place of voting you 60 into a
cabinet by yourself and there before
you are the different tickets under a
glass with a button after each name
on all the tickets. You press the
button for each name you want to
vote. You can vote the whole
ticket or split the ticket as you de-
sire. The machine is so set that
you can only vote once for n man
for each Office. AS you 60 out of
the cabinet you reset it for the next
man who goes in. When you vote
for a man 1t registers one moro vote
for him and at night there is no
casting up. You merely announce
the total vote. To all appearances
this scheme of voting will be very
popular. Wherever it has been
tried it gives perfect satisfaction. 1t
is quick, does away with ballot box
stutfing and is found to be accurate.
Any n desiring to examine this
scheme can call at this office and
examine the circular.

VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS.
The County Court Appreciates the
Growth Of Mexico and Au-
drain County.

The Audrain County Court, ap-
preciating the growth of Mexico and
Audrain county, is making some
much needed improvements on
county property. Toilet rooms and
sewerage are being put in the Court
House and at the May term of court
contracts will likely be made for ex-
cavating a cellar and heating the
Court House with a furnace. In
this way money will be saved and
the value of the property greatly en-
HANGED. 1t Is only a matter of time
until water will be put in the Court
House yard and granitoid walks
laid. At a very light expense the
Court House yard can be made one
of the handsomest parks in the state
and one the citizens of Audrain
county might we'll feel proud of.
Dyke & Kelley have the contract
for putting in the toilet fixtures.
