A young gentleman of Mexico on
last Friday night wanted to leave for
Carthage, No., to see one of his girls.
He also wanted to escort another one
of his girls rs far as Kansas City, on
her way home from Hardin College
to spend Christmas. The young man
was very anxious MOTTO miss the train.
He got In immense alarm clock and
placed it under his pillow. About five
minutes before train time the
people in the house where he was re-
siding were awakened by all kinds CT
noises, which sounded like an earth
quake. The carriage driver was
pounding in the end of the house and
wanted shat boy who was going to
take the Kansas City train" The
young man was rolled out of bed. He
started down stairs with nothing on
but his pants and shoes. He had his
socks and collar in his pockets, his
coat, vest and "boiled" shirt In one
hand and in the other he had hist Christ
mas presents, etc. He fell into the
carriage and dressed without a look
ing glass; en- route to the residence OF
the young lady he was going to take
to Kansas City. He caught the train.
He almost got left, but not quite. Re-
porters of the LEDGER never do ee,
left. On investigation 1t was found
that the alarm clock was all right, but
1t had never been wound. The write,
would give a good deal for a kodak
shot OF the young man as he made
connection with the carriage. The
initials OF his mamie are Leigh NJ.

Mexico People Support Their News
papers.

Mexico, Mo-, is trying to get a wool
en- factory. The LEDGER of that place
has done 5000 worth of advertising
advocating it, still there are many in
Mexico who owe the LEDGER and will
set back and make fun of the enter
prise and still read the paper daily and
never pay a cent for it. Moberly
Monitor.
OF course, there are a few people in
Mexico-as there are in other towns
who do not appreciate their papers;
men who not only beg, borrow or
steal, but ia addition to that abuse
them. At the same time, the writer
thinks that Mexico is an exception
along this. line. Nearly all of the
business men of Mexico not only sub
scribe for their local daily paper, but
literally %patronize it in the way of
advertising. The business men and
citizens of Mexico appreciate their
local papers, both daily and weekly.
The local papers of Mexico give their
advertisers value received. They don't
ask for patronage to keep them alive;
are always ready to prove to business
men that IL pays TO auverulse. Tnert
is not a merchant in Mexico that ad-
vertises in the Mexico papers who is
not fully satisfied that it is the best in
vestment he makes. In fact, the bust
ness men of this city make appropria'
lions for advertising just the same al
they do for their clerk hire, light ant
other necessary expenses. No bust
ness can succeed unless these appro'
priations are made.

Morrison's powerful Dramatic Com
pany will produce an elaborate scenic

power of the immortal, come in quick

Chance For a CAPITALIST.

HARRISBURG, Mo-, Dec. 22.-Mr.
Forgey, Mexico, Mo. Dear Sir: AS
you have been in our locality 1
thought I would drop you a few lines
in regard to our coal and minerals in
and around Harrisburg. First, we
have a coal vein four feet thick
OF excellent quality. Second, there is
another vein of coal twenty-five inch
% thick above the four foot vein. 1t is
So or 90 feet down to the coal. The
coal has a good roof or top. There is
immense iron ore of good quality, say
sixty-five per cent, also fire clay in
paying quantities. There is almost
any kind of rock in beds and paying
quantities, such as limestone, or blue
rock and sand stone. This is only the
outlines in this noble county. Taxes
about rs or so cents on the hundred
dollars. There Is a railroad bed from
your town to Hallsville, then to Hsr-
risburg and on to Fayette. There
you strike the M, K. & 7. railroad

charge, coal q be put on cars at -four
cents q bushel-an north and south OF
the railroad is underlaid with coal and
iron and fire clay for twelve miles.
The rock abutments are in and look as
fresh as they did when they were put
up. All that is needed is one that is
energetic and capital to put this in
operation. We can furnish from ten
car loads to Ave hundred per day if
needed, besides this is one of the best
STOCK growing counties in Missouri.
Horses, mules, cattle, hogs and timber,
and tongue can't describe like seeing
with the eye. Now, if you can see
anyone with surplus capital that wants
to make money fast this is the place.
We have a good county and sur
rounded by good citizens, and good
land can be leased at ten per cent for
coal. ] write this to you because You
are travelling all over the different
States and you may strike a company
that will operate or the bed. If you
see anyone that wants any further in
formation / will take pleasure in an
swering anything they want.
