A Good story on F,eld.


Eugene Field shared Fl. @. Burners
inability to understand the English In
England. Bunner once said to friend
in Westminster Abbey that there were
three kinds of Englishmen he liked
the Scotch, the Irish and the dead.
In London one evening Field took
in to dinner perfect specimen OF the
totally insular British woman-self-
satisfied, self centered and with vague
or NO notions of anything beyond the
boundaries of her own land and her
Immediately surrounding conditions.
At table she was gracious, and under
took to draw him out-with rising in
fiections and great show of interest.
"They tell me you're from America,
Mr.. Field"
81 am"
"Dear me! How very interesting.
North or South America, may i ask?''
go, North"
"Fancy, now. Aud do you live In
one OF those interes' ing ranches9"
"r live in Chicago, madam
80, dear, yes. I've heard about
Chicago. Is it q mining place or a
district2"
"It is CITY,"
"Fancyl And very remote?"
"About thousand miles iniand.n
"Dear mel How very extraordinary.
And are the people there natives7"
"Natives7 T."

"Ohi savages. Dyes, I see. Why
madame, we were all savages. When
they caught me, I was living in q

Mexico weekly ledger. (Mexico, Mo.) 1855-1956, 1897-01-07

THE mexico LEDGER enters upon a
new year with renewed vigor and its
management intends to make it bet
ter than ever. We try each day to
make the LEDGER better than the
day before. The people OF Mexico
and Audrain County have been most
liberal in their patronage of the LED
GER, both daily and weekly. We try
to deserve It. We can do no more.
Tho business men of Mexico, as a
rule, are most cordial in their support
OF the local papers and appreciate a
good, live advertising medium. They
know that It pays to advertise and
they are doing that which pays. The
LEDGER is newspaper. 1t prints all
the news that's fit to print and on
this platform It enters upon the new
yessr, making no new promises, sim
ply pointing to our motto-"To our
pride In the past and our hope for the
future, let us add vigorous work in
tho living present" The success of
tho Mexico LEDGER is due directly to
tho liberal, cordial and continued sup
port Of the good people OF Audrain
County. We hope to merit such
support in the future-more much
more, than in the past. We can not
expect to give each patron as good a
paper - they deserve, but we will do
tho very best we can.

catarrh, chronic bronchitis, II not
consumption, invariably result from o
neglected cold. 1t is surprising, too,
that bad colds are SO often neglected
when one remembers how easily and
at what little expense they may be
cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is always prompt and effectuai, and
costs but a trifie; 25 or 80 cents is q
trifie as compared with the disas-
trous effects of neglected cold. Mr..
Abner Mercer, Of Dilworthtown,C ,Ches-
ter County, Pa, in speaking Of this
remedy, said: "Some time ago had
q bad cold and cough. tried almost
everything. Finally Mr.. Hunt, the
druggist, recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and one SO cent bottle
of IL cured me entirely" For sale by
@. A. Buckner, druggist.

Will Result in Good.


1t is conceded that the recent bank
failures we're not legitimate in their
character, and that none but unsound
banks were among the number. Such
mismanagement as was betrayed in
these banks would ruin any institu-
tion. AS whole, the banking inter-
ests of the country are in better con-
dition than they have been for long
time. Money is plentiful and the Sc
curities held arc of the highest char
acter. 1t is not fair to attribute these
recent bank failures to any political or
business conditions. There may be
little consolation In the statement, but
it Is true, nevertheless, that the fail
ure of banking institutions so reck-
lessly run will work only good in the
end.

A CAREFUL statistician reckons that
the average of not more than eight men
have been "slated" for each place in
McKinley's cabinet, and that not more
than six in each case are "certain of
appointment" But even this will give
the President elect working force of
constitutional advisers.
