In view of the fact that my official
duties consume SO much of my time
and the primary election occurring SO
early, 1 am deprived of the oppor-
tunity of meeting a large number of
the voters. / think it just and proper
that I should deny some of the false
statements which some of my oppo-
nents have made. First. / never
bought the Office I hold, being an as
sistant of c. d. Rodgers for nearly two
years, and performing my duties to
his entire satisfaction, and being a
personal friend of Governor Stone |
had no difficulty in obtaining the ap-
pointment. Second. / am not a gold
bug; / am a Democrat and whatever
policy the State and National COM
mittee adopts I will heartily support.
Third. never voted any other but
the Democratic ticket in my life.
Fourth. | am not rich. II l were /
would not want the office; but If the
voters of Audrain County see fit to
elect me ] pledge my word and honor
to give them good service.

MORE NEED
ED.
With a Hall Mile Track and a S10,.
600 Guarantee Fund the Mex
leo Fair in 1896 Will Be
the Most Successful
Ever Held.

We will have a Fairl
We will have a big Fair!
We will have the biggest Fair ever
held in Mexico!
From the report of the Finance
Committee attheFair meetingMonday
night the last of the above statements
is none too strong. The subscription
papers have not been in circulation a
week and $4,000 worth of stock has
already been taken, besides some
cash subsc riptions. The guarantee
fund of $4,000 should and will prob
ably he made up within the next "a
hours.
The success with which the Sub
scription Committee has met is proof
that the people # Mexico are anxious
to have a Fair this year; and the
large amounts subscribed speak well
for their l%iberality. The committee
in charge of this part of the work has
done much to make the Fair of 1896 a
possibility, and credit is due them for
their efforts in this behalf.
The meeting of citizens which was
held at the Court House Monday night
was well attended and was called to
order by s. B. Cook.
DR.. R. A. Ramsay, Chairman of the
Finance Committee, then reported
that $1,000 had been subscribed, leav-
ing a balance of only $500 to complete
the s10,0 900 guarantee fund, which, he
thought, could be easily raised.
A report from G. X. Allen regard
ing the new half mile track was read.
In this Mr.. Allen made a careful es-
innate of the grades, and it was found
that much less grading and filling in
will have to be done than was at first
supposed.
K. H. Allen, who was present, made
a few remarks about the track, and
said that he would help all he could
in the laying out and building of the
same.
There was some talk of opening the
FAIR on Saturday, and many present
were favorably impressed with this
idea.
After this it was decided to hold a
meeting on Thursday evening at 7:3O
to elect directors. All who have sub
scribed towards the Fair are especially
urged to be present at this meeting.
The meeting was then adjourned
until Thursday evening.
The Track Committee met in Sur
veyor Aliens Office at 9 O'Clock Tues
day morning and decided to com
mence work at once.

Prof. Strother, who is teaching
school north of Mexico, writes the
LEDGER that everybody is busy
breaking ground for corn. He says
the good housewives are arranging for
a large crop of spring chickens, but
will not be ready to harvest them I'M
til after the candidates are through
their work in the country. He says
the lady he is boarding with has ten
fine turkey hens and n gobbler that
weighed over thirty pounds when only
eight months old. He says this is the
kind of fowls grown by Mrs. Fannie
Crawford. Prof. Strother says the
farmers in that neighborhood are ar
ranging to raise a much larger crop
than heretofore.
