The length of time for practice
must depend upon the health and
the circumstance: surrounding the
pupil. AS muC! me as possible
should be give TO daily practice,
and two hours, q; east, should be
devoted to that purpose. The
best time of day is in the morning,
as the mind is freer and the body
is in a refreshed condition. Diff
culties are attacked with more
courage, and their intricacies more
easily comprehended and overcome
then than in the latter part of the
day. Practice amounts to very
little if the body and mind are
tired. Persistence in practice un-
der these conditions-through
mistaken sense of duty-is often
injurious to health, and certainly
fails of any musical accomplish

health one hour is not too long for
a sitting. In sitting at the piano

A Moral and SlcIlI HsIp.

An indulgence in intoxicants of any
sort has never helped a man to any
social position worth the having;
on the contrary, it has kept many
from attaining position to which
by birth and good breeding and all
other qualifications they were emit
tied. No young man will ever find
that the principle of abstinence
from liquor is barrier to any sue
cess, social. commercial or other
wise. On the other hand, it is the
one principale in his life which will,
in the long run, help him more than
any other. Edward w. Box in

WHAT'S known throughout the west

is now in the East buying goods for
the various houses they represent,
and they will secur the largest stock,
perhaps, ever shipped in one bulk
West. The members OF the firms now

Joe Barth, of Mexico, Vic Barth, of
Columbia, Simon Barth, of Atchison,
Kas., Isadore Barth, of Rocheport,
and Solomon Barth, of Trenton. The
present low prices of goods in their
line will enable them to offer their
customers this spring even greater
bargains than ever. The Barths
adopted this method of buying because
it affords them an opportunity to buy
cheaper than they otherwise could, and
their customers will reap the benefits.
The firm of Joe & Vic Barth, in this
city, expects, upon the return of Mr..
Barth, to show the largest and hand

PLEASANT VALLEY, Mo, March g.
The handful of earnest workers of

days planning for an entertainment
to be given ut the home of Bro. John
B. Armisiead. So in the early even
ing of Feb. 20, could be seen the

was called TO order by the secretary,
Mrs. Anrie Armistead, the president
being absent OH account of sickness.

exercises acquitted themselves very
acceptably. | wish l could mention
in detail all the good things, but space

After assuring the crowd that they
were welcome, thrice welcome, she
gave some of her reasons for belong

are as follows: 81 believe total absti-

AT 10 a. M. Saturday, March End,

felt in this county. Mr.. Whitley came
to Audrain some 80 or 40 years ago,
and up to within the last few years of
his life resided in the northern part of
the county, where he made many and
lasting friends who join the people of
Mexico in mourning his loss. Mr.
Wilfiey's first wife was Miss Smith,
sister of Mr.. j. NJ. Smith, of this city,
to whom five children were born-Abe
Whitley and VIM. Wiley, Mrs. Wal
lace Pearson, Mrs. Robert Johnson, of
this county, and Mrs. Greenleaf, of
indianapolis, Ind. His second wife
was Miss Sadie Lawhead of this city,
to whom he was married in 1881. Two
children, Espey and Susie, were born
to her. All of his children and his
second wife survive him and have the
deepest sympathy of our community.
The funeral services of John CIVIL
fey took place at O'Clock March 4th,

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Andy Harrison Proposes to Supply the
Whole Country With Brick.

Andy Harrison, the "burnt dirt
man." has great faith in Mexico and
its growth. He has just purchased one
of the largest and most complete
brick machines made, and will be
ready to go to work by April /. With
this new machine, he can make all
kinds of brick-pressed brick, street
paving brick and all classes of build
ing brick. This machine will turn out
from fifteen to twenty thousand brick
per day, and can be kept running any
kind of weather. Mr.. Harrison has
had his clay tested, and it is pro-
nounced to be of the very best quality.
He has a coal bank right in the back of
his brick yard, and in this way can get
fuel very cheap. Nh. Harrison is going
to make brick enough to supply the
demand throughout this portion of
Missouri. He is an enterprising, push
ing business man, and we predict for
this enterprise abundant success.
