Of them In this part Of the world. The
Mexico LEDGER Is firmly Of the opin-
ion that ninety-nine per cent Of the
"National Democrats in this part of
Missouri will this year vote the staight
regular Democratic ticket from top to
bottom. There is no reason why any
man who claims to be any kind of a

Galloway Spring Lambs.
From the Eulton Gazette.

A Gazette reporter has taken the
trouble to make a rough estimate OF
the number of lambs shipped to mar
ket from Fulton and vicinity during
the past ninety days. He has obtained
the following reliable list:
Alfred Washington, Williamsburg, 200
Terry & Trigg, Fulton .........1 ,750
B. B. Muir, Fulton 1000
Ed Moore, Guthrie ......... 600
Chas. Houchins, McCredie ...... 712
Robt. Buckner, Auxvasse ........ 126
VIM. Craighead, Toledo. ........ 500
Monroe Ewens, Mokane. ........ $50
Mat Nichols, Portland. .......... $50
Davis & Herring, Fulton. lbs
F. & D. Lynes, Guthrie ..-.... 40
Basket Lynes, Guthrie ......... 16O
Total number -. .7,9Oz
All the Bourbon township, Stephens
Store and Hatton country 10 left out.
1t can be safely estimated that the
number of lambs put on the market
from Galloway county the present
season will reach 10000. These lambs
sold at an average Of about "a per
head, which will give the handsome
sum of $40, 900 for spring lambs alone.
1t must be remembered that but few
farmers sell their eve lambs. They
are kept overa and it is q notorious fact
that there are but few farmers who
are not improving their herds Of sheep.
There is no wonder that Galloway
lands are now attracting the attention
| of eastern farmers and capitalists.
