WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge,
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following the use OF
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect ofSwamp-
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best.
Sold by druggists; price fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a sam
pie bottle and pamphlet both sent free
by mail. Mention the Mexico LED
GER and send your address to DR.,

The Paris Rabbit HINT.

The Monroe county rabbit hunt for
the st. Louis poor. was a SUCCESS.
The st. Louis Republic, referring to
this matter, says:
Fifteen hundred rabbits make a pile
the size OF an ordinary haystack, but
1t doesn't take the hungry people of
st. Louis very long to make such a
stack look very insignificant. A large
number of citizens took up q position
within sight Of the storeroom to watch
the distribution Of rabbits, and the
scene was one well worth an effort to
witness. All the poor people smiled
"a they left with we'll filled baskets,
for rabbits were not the only line of
provisions distributed. To the pres
emit of rabbits the association aided
100 pounds Of bread, $50 pounds of
sugar, lbs pounds of coffee, 40 pounds
Of oatmeal, 800 pounds of beans, $50

OUR SPECIAL T

Pending the rush of holiday business
we deferred the work on the special
Agricultural and Industrial edition of
the LEDGER, the issue of which was
announced some time ago. The work
will now proceed vigorously and the
edition will be something unique.
Audrain county and Mexico need
advertising literature, and in quantity,
and it is this deficiency which We pro-
pose to supply. Our agricultural re-
sources will be set forth In detail,
showing the inducements We offer
home-seekers, while the advantages
of Mexico as a location for industrial
plants viii be adequately dealt with.
To make this a success requires the
cooperation of all our citizens and
we trust our effort will meet with
substantial support.

ANOTHER CHANCE.
John W. Wilkinson, Of Vinita, l. T.,
Would Like to Start q Normal
School in Mexlco-A Former

P. a. Cullen has received the fol-
lowing letter from John w. Wilkin-
son, of Vinita, /. T.:
Hon. P. 81. Cullen. Mexico. Mo.
VINTTA, I. T., Dec. 20.-DEAR Bro.
CULLEN: AS q fellow-student and
alumnus with you of the Missouri
University, I wish to trespass on you
for advice in a matter of vital i'm
portance to me. For some time I
have been considering the advisa-
bility of attempting to establish a
normal school at Mexico, Mo-, and it
is in this connection that I wish to
trouble You. My idea has been to
commence on a small scale at first
and to extend the scope of the school
gradually. The first year we could
use q rented building until other ar
engagements could be made for is. 1t
seems to me that since the University
has abolished the preparatory course,
and since the Marmaduke and Fleet
military academies have burned, that
q normal school in Mexico ought to do
we'll.
l should be pleased to know what
you think of such a scheme and what
your citizens would probably do to
encourage me. Ever Your Friend,
JOHN w. WILKINSON.
The people of Mexico should join
together and work for this school.
Mr.. Wilkinson is an excellent instruc-
tor and the school with his name at
the head would undoubtedly be q sue
cess. He Is with the viii Holsell Col
lege at Vinita, l. T., at present. In
the years 1898 to 1895 he was presi-
dent of the academy department of
the Missouri State University and left
there to accept the presidency of the
Arkansas State University.

sized rupture from which 1 suffered
considerable. I was told by some
physicians that all could do for it was
to have it operated on, but knowing
the great danger of such an operation
I refused to do SO. I looked upon the
matter somewhat skeptically when I
read in the Mexico papers that DR..
Mayer does cure rupture without pain,
without delay from ones occupation
and without pay unless one is cured.
But I can gladly say to my friends
and the public that DR.. Mayer will do
all this.
He cured me perfectly in three
months treatment. While under
treatment I attended to all my work,
filing a large contract which I had
with R. R.. Buckner for hauling and
delivering several hundred bushels of
