Visit to Cant.

The editor of this paper had the
pleasure this week of paying a visit
to Cant, Audrain county, Mo.
Cant is situated eleven miles south
west of Mexico and is surrounded
by as fine a farming country as there
is anywhere. Crops there are look
ing well in spite of the drouth and
the corn crop will be considerably
better than last year. Miller Bros.
have rebuilt their store, which was
burned not long since, and will soon
have a full stock of merchandise.
Mr.. Jennings, the blacksmith, is do
ing a splendid business and saves
the farmers of that part OF the coun-
try many a long trip to town. DR..
Wallace, who was lately married to
Miss Miller, is enjoying a fine prac-
tice and is very popular with the
people in the surrounding country.
1t has not been our pleasure for
many a day to visit a more prosper
Gus neighborhood.

The Cat Came Back.

Mrs. John Paine, of Elliottbor-

tried to get rid of. It bit her the
other day, and a caucus was held
to devise some plan Of killing it. 1t
was decided that the cat should be
drowned. Mrs. Paine secured a
sack, and in placing the cat in the
suck it bit her the secondItime. On the
way 10 the river she concluded ii
ought to be shot. She met a young
man who had a revolver, and he
fred three shots at it. The cat
jumped into some brush on the
river bank when the last shot was
fred. Mrs. Paine returned home,
thinking it was dead. Another
trouble confronted her. She no.
ticed that her hand was swelling,
and when a physician was called
in he said she was suffering from
blood poisoning. While she was
talking the cat came back. The

These Kind Words are Appreciated,

From the montgomery Standard
The newspapers over the state
have been talking of Bob White for
Railroad Commissioner next year
with a degree OF unanimity seldom
found among these molders of pub
lie opinion. 1t is seldom they find
the one they so universally desire in
that place. They know he is capa-
bic, that he will bring the board up
to a higher standard of efficiency,
and that the position would give
him scope to exercise some of his
executive ability. But a good news
paper man can scarcely afford to
leave his business even for such a
place.

The Kansas City Star says:
Only .ffty-two days yet to remain
until the expiration of the Worlds
Fair. The paid admissions up to
this time have been somewhat in
excess of 10 millions. That repre-
sents less than one-sixth of the
population Of the United States.
The total attendance ought to en-
brace a much larger proportion OF
the American public than that.
The show is the greatest that the
present generation will ever have
the opportunity of witnessing. 1t
is the most eloquent testimonial OF
civilization and human skill the
world has ever seen. 1t is replete
with beauty and presents an in
~structive picture which should be
impressed upon the memory of all
Americans who are in position to
avail themselves ofthe rare Privilege
it offers. 1t will be at once a sur
prise and a disappointment if the
remainder of September and the
whole of October does not witness
All influx of visitors to the Worlds
Fair which will at least double the
attendance reported up to the close
of August.

Mr.. Bland, chairman of the coin

bill for the free coinage of silver,

ment now prevailing has subsidized.
These people are in such a frame Of
mind that nothing can be done.
They would run over you like a herd
of stampeded buffalo. The banks,
mercantile institutions and the met
ropolitan press have frighted repre-
sentatives so that it is impossible
now to undertake any reasonable
legislation. When the storm has
passed we shall give them another
whirl at free silver, but just nov we
shall be quiet. The committee has
not yet had a meeting and none has

C.. c. DAVIS.

To the Editor of the Ledger
MEXICO, Mo-, Sept. 9.-For his
persistent enterprise and the public
enterprise resulting therefrom, our
esteemed fellow townsmau, c. o..
Davis, should have the good will
and gratitude of every citizen OF
Mexico. Honor to whom honor is
due. Every town has green-eyed
croakers ready to underestimate
and discourage the enterprise and
new adventure of anyone besides
themselves. Palsied should be the
hand that would throw to Mr.. Davis
anything but encouragement and
support in his coal mining enter
prise. Almost single-handed and
alone Mr.. Davis has completed the
tests and spent a large sun OF money
in opening a vein of coal in the sub
urbs of Mexico, which in quality
and quantity is said by experts to
be equal to any in Missouri. Mr..
Davis has already reduced the price
Of coal to seven cents per bushel at
the bank, or nine cents delivered, a
reduction of at least two cents on the
bushel from last year which will not
be less than $4,000 saved in the
pockets of the people of Mexico.
While Mr.. Davis efforts will I'M
doubtedIy from the present time and
in years to come, make money for
every real estate owner, every coal
consumer and, in fact every business
man in Mexico, it is to be hoped
that his discovery and enterprise
viii prove highly profitable to him.
Mr.. Davis should have and will
have the encouragement of all good
citizens in Mexico.
Very Respectfully,

A TRIBUTE
To the Memory of Mrs. Mary Dunbar.

Gone from age to golden youth
From helpfessness to strength and beauty;
Gone to learn a higher truth,
And follow out a higher duty.
Gone her joy to unfurl-
Methinks l see the joyous meeting
From the door her boy and girl
Hurl out their songs to mothers greeting.
Gone from a winter chill and bare
To summer lands forever vernal;
Gone from weary pain and care
To that sweet home of JOY eternal.
Dead!O, no; she is not dead
She whose smile was ever winning,
But in a fuller life instead,
Her truest work is just beginning.
Gone! did We say: She is not this
It's but our mortal loss expressing;
And we may feel her angel klsss
And yet receive her angel blessing.
God s purest law of love and kindness,
Smiles and joy and flowers for thee,
Our angel ~neighbor, higher risen
Thine is glad Eternity.
A FRIEND.
