From the Paris Appeal.
Ye old man of the Appeal made a
flying trip to Mexico last Friday, re-
turning home on Monday evening.
Mexico is a good town, peopled by
a good class of citizens, who are full
of enterprise and push. Hardin
College, the Fleet Military School
and the Fire Brick Works are three
things that Mexico could not do
without, and which, annually, scat
ter tens of thousands of dollar s
among her people. The city has
electric lights, good water works, and
they are putting in a f~rst-class sys-
tenn of sewerage. Her people are
generous and hospitable, and know
how to treat visitors just right. We
were handsomely entertained by R.
NJ. White, the brainy editor Of the
LEDGER, and his good wife, while in
that city, and placed under obliga-
tons to many of her citizens for
courtesies extended while there.

@EE
Old man Cash, who lives on W.O.

there is also a man missing from the

his wife and children he saw the man
he suspects eloped with them but
was unable to get a hand on him.
Cash is all broke up and will make
it warm for the gentleman be is
looking for if he catches him.

II MEXICO FAIR.
Those on the Guarantee Fund Have
Il business Meeting.

The gentlemen who are on the
Sc, 800 guarantee fund for the Mex
leo Fair Association met at the City
Hall last night with Hon. c. f.
Clark in the chair and ex.MayorG q.
l.. Ferris as secretary. These gen
tlemen met with the purpose of
devising a plan to put the Mexico
Fair upon its feet and pay its debts.
The plan which seems mostfeasifle,
though rather hard on some of our
most enterprising citizens, is that
those on the guarantee fund sub
scribe that much toward a new as
sociation and take stock to that
amount. Those who have stock in
the old association destroy the same
and take stock in the new and those
the fair association owe take
their pay in stock in the
new association, which should be
worth nearly dollar for dollar. The
large majority of the people who
have stock in the old association
are willing to destroy the same and
take stock in the new. A large
majority of those on the guarantee
fund are willing to pay in the cash
and take stock in the new associa-
ton. A large majority of those the
| old association owes are willing to
take their pay in stock. These three
statements being a fact we think
that Mexico will surely have a new
association while all the debts of the
old one will be paid in full. Chair
man Clark appointed GeorgeRobert-
son, e. d. Graham and Joseph
Glandon to see all who are on the
guarantee fund and get them to
sign an agreement to take stock in
the new association. The chairman
also appointed a committee consist
ing of G. L. Ferris, W. o. Foote
and Butler Guthrie to see those the
association owes and make arrange
ments with them to take their pay
in stock. As far as stock in the old
association is concerned, unless those
few members who are working
against the plan to cancel it come
around the directors of the old asso-
citation will sell the grounds to
the new association, which will
do away with the old stock.
If the business men and cit
liens of this city and county who
are directly benefited by the fair and
who have never taken an interest or
paid any money toward its sup
port will now come forward and as
sist in this movement the associa-
ton will be put upon a permanent
footing and prove of untold benefit
to the business interests of this city
and county.
