Little Miss Virginia fancey Repre-.
sents Gathrie & Gentry In the
Grand K%arnival.

The handsome exhibition of the
real estate firm OF Guthrie & Gentry
at the Merchants Karnival was one
of the most noticeable in point OF
novelty of design and display. This
firm was represented by Miss Vir-
ginia Yancey, one of Mexico's pref
test little girls, whose costume con-
sisted of a dress of bright red Hastily
trimmed with gilt seals and appro-
priately adorned with deeds, alb
stracts and insurance policies. She
drew behind her a miniature float
correctly representing a model farm
equipped with q handsome resi-
dence, comfortable barns, neat
graneries and out buildings of all
kinds, and in all presenting a per-
feet pastoral picture. This float
bore the inscriptions of ga Clear
Title, ''Not Mortgaged" and "For
Sale.n
The firm of Guthrie & Gentry never
lets an opportunity pass to advertise
Audrain, Mexico and the resources
of this part of Missouri. The gen.
tlemen composing this firm have
an abiding faith in the growth and
prosperity of Mexico and her insti-
tutions and we are sure will not be
disappOinted-

THE PROSPECT FOR coal.
Mr.. Anderson Says lie Has Struck
a -Four Foot Eight Inch
yeia-He VIII Drill
Down $50 Feet.

As reported in the LEDGER Mon
day Mr.. Anderson, who is prospect
ing for coal on the c. c. Davis farm
in the southeastern suburbs OF the
city, struck a four foot eight inch
vein of coal at a depth of forty-four
feet. MIR. Anderson says there is no
question but what this coal is us thick
as he says it Is and of good quality.
The committee met this morning
and instructed Mr.. Anderson to bore
down $50 feet and see if he
could not strike a second wien.
Other holes Will then be bored in diff
ferent localities n order to find out
whether the vein struck is a pocket
or not. Those who ought to know
about such indications say that there
is no question but what we have coal
in an unlimited quantity under our
city. The matter is TO be thorough
ly tested and if, as the indications
show, we have a vein of coal four
feet or more thick companies will at
once be formed and mining will be
begun on an extensive scale.

n MEXICO INSTITUTE.
Whisky and Aarphine Habits Being
Treated Successfully.

The Mexico Institute for the treat.
ment Of the whisky and morphine
habits Is being very successfully
managed by DR.. s. G. Adams, ply
stefan in charge. DIR. Adams now
has several cases, which are pro-
crossing nicely. Within the last
week or 80 he has turned out three
cases entirely cured. We called at
his Office at half past eleven Mon
day when he gave the patients their
shots. W. noticed some OF the
patients particularly. One refused
whisky the second day and is now
feeling all right and has no taste for
whisky at all. He has been treated
only four days. Another patient who
has been treated some ten days says
he never felt better In his life-has
a splendid appetite and looks like a
new man. He refused whisky the
fourth day after he begun taking the
treatment. Treatment administer
ed by Adams does not PROSTATE a
patient at all, but rather builds him
up. The work being done by this
institute in Mexico, we think, will
work wonders in our midst. Quite a
number Of parties are arranging to
take this treatment and we feel sure
if they do they will be entirely
cured.
