The Turner-Jackson Mei camille Com

wear, Gents Clothing, Cloaks, Rugs,
Groceries, Etc, Mexico, Mo.
1t is the way q merchant does busi-
ness, the kind of goods sold, the GER
tainty of customers getting just what
they ask for, and above all, pleasing
and satisfying patrons, that max kes
any business success or failure
That 10 the reason the above estab-
lishment has been doing q thriving
and ever increasing business since its
inception in 1890 1t is located ON the
east side of the square In . cOmmodious
building measuring 40x100 feet, divid-
ed into two departments, the grocery
in one building and the dry goods in
the other. The stock comprises every
thing in the way of general merchan-
disc, including fancy and staple gro
ceries, dry goods, cloaks, rugs, foot
wear, gents furnishings, notions, etc.
In the dry goods department can be
found the LATEST patterns in dress
goods, silks, velvets, ribbons and
notions, all OF which present as large
a variety and are sold at prices as low
as you can secure in larger cities for
the same quality of goods. That the
people of Mexico ana Audrain County
appreciate this bright, clean, COM
modious, up-to-date store, Is evidenc-
ed by the large city and country trade
which they enjoy, 1t requiring the
services of nine assistants, who unite
with the management in providing
for the wants of patrons. The Turner
Jackson Mercantile Co. is q combina-
tion of Mexico's most prominent and
energetic citizens, the following gen.
directors: A. G. Turner, President;
Ms. Myers, Vice-President; J.W Plum
kett, Secretary; A. d. Jackson, Treas
urer; and J. A. Potts and J. G. Mundy.
Mr.. Turuer, the President, who exer-
cises q general supervision over the
business, has been q resident of Mex
leo for thirty years and during that
time has earned the respect of all our
citizens, He is largely Interested in
real estate and q thorough business
man. Mr. Myers takes charge OF the
dry goods department. A shrewd
buyer, he secures all that is latest and
best, and his management of his de-
partment does much to pOpularize
the store. Mr.. Pldnkett superintends
the clothing, footwear and hat depart
ments and is gentleman of enter
prise and ability, studying the wants
Of patrons and untiring In his efforts
to please. Mr.. Jackson ia Assistant
Cashier of the Southern Bank, while
Mr. Potts Ia one of Mexfco's most re-
spected citizens. Mr.. Mundy devotes
his attention to the grocery depart
ment and there is no merchant in our
city who serves customers more con-
scientiously or is more popular with
patrons. The Turner-JacksOn Mer-
camille Co. permits no misrepresenta-
ton of goods, but relies on the policy OF
standard goods, one price to all,
and prompt service to secure patron.

The Late Judge MacfarLdne.

profession. After being in Mexico q
short time Judge Macfarlane and Col.
John E. Hutton formed a law partner
ship. They were quite successful
while together. Afterwards Judge
Macfarlane and j. Med. Trimble
formed a partnership and were emil
nently sueoessful. In 1879, when q
Probate Court was established in Au-
drain county, Governor Brown ap-
pointed Mr.. Macfarlane Probate Judge
and he was elected to the same Office
in 1874, and not long afterward was
compelled to resign the position on
account of his growing law practice,
which he had not abandoned while
serving as Judge of the Probate Court.
Judge Edwards was appointed in his
stead. -.t
Judge Macfarlane was the attorney
for the Wabash railroad from the time
he came to Mexico until he went on
the Supreme Bench. When the @. &
A. extension was built about twenty
years ago, he was appointed as attor-
ney for that part of the road which
extends between the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers. s....F ...5
In 1890 an amended constitution
added two Supreme Judges to the
bench, and by Governor Francis Judge
Macfarlane was appointed to one of
the positions. On July 6, 1892, he was
nominated in St. Louis by the Demo-
cratic Convention as Supreme Judge
on the first ballot and received the
largest vote Of any of the three, Judge
Burgess and Judge Sherwood being
the other two. About this time the
Supreme Court was divided into two
divisions and Judge Macfarlane be-
came attached to Division No. 1. AT
| the time of his death he was Presid-
ing Judge of this division.
| Judge Macfarlane married Miss Alice
F. Orear, of Boone County, Missouri
on August 10, 1865 To this union six
children were born. Three are now
living. They are Roy, of this city
Locke and Guy, of Jefferson City
Lawrence died of appendicitis on
January 1, 1896. He was Is years o.
age at death.
Mrs. Macfarlane and children have

NO FAITH IN MENTAL SCIENCE.

A startling report comes from New
York that a woman well-known in
that city, Mrs. P. Lorillard Ronalds,
who had appendicitis and whose life
hung by thread, rejected the serv-
ices of celebrated surgeon and trust
ed her fate to mental science. The
result, the story declares, was salts
factory. Within a month after the in
flammation began she was able to be
out, and is now a well woman. The
charge of this peculiar surgeon for
that operation was $4,000
All New York is agog over this re-
markabIe cure by mental science.
Mrs. Ronalds is sister of Mrs.
Charles Perry, and daughter of
Mrs. William A. Perry, of New York.
1t Is little wonder that both Mrs. Rom
aids and her mother are deeply in
| terested in mental science, and in
spreading among their friends the
news of it's beneficent results, and in
seeking its employment as healer of
maladies.
The result of this is that the draw
ing-room meetings are now being held
in New York, to devote to the study
of this science OF healing without
medicine. The report is that society
or club has been organized as de-
velopment from these meetings. so
Mrs. Perry is foremost among those
who are devoting attention to this
scheme OF outwitting or controlling
disease. One of the meetings was
held at the house on East Fifty-six
street. Mrs. Rainsford, Mrs. e. @.
Bliss, and the Misses PIerpont are
among those of international fame
who have attended drawing room
meetings.
1t has even been said that DIR. RAINS
ford and DR.. Abbott addressed the
meeting that was held at Mrs. Perry's
house. -
| The formulae by which mental
science is brought to direction upon a
disordered organ Of the body are no,
revealed to the public. The meetings
are said to be under the direction OF a
doctor, who lectures upon the subject
under consideration, and also directs
the treatment, il this word may bt
used In this connection, when men ta
science is used to combat disease.
On account of the age of Judg,
Macfarlane it was thought by some o
his friends that q cure Of this kins
might reach his case when an opera
tion would be dangerous expert

In consequence call upon DR.. II

Write Them A Letter To-Nirht.

WIlLo 1u6m n 4otboI 1O-NiSut.
From the Intellectual Elevator, Chfllicothc, Mo-
There never was . poem written
which we admire more than this one.
Would that its sentiment were
stamped on every heart and its teach
ings q part OF every life. Parental
love 10 worth more than all the dead
Languages that can be learned in q
ife-time. We need less Latin and
more love for our aged parents.
There is more religion in good
kind letter to aged parents than in
half the sermons. He who lacks pa
rental love is In poor condition to
love his Heavenly Father. His pray
ers may ring loud on earth, but they
will die before they reach the throne
Of God. Parental love needs to be
cherished, cultivated and fostered,
and when children are separated far
from parents they should make IL a
rule, with no exception, to write once
. week at least to those who fret
loved them and whose love never
dies Don't be satisfied with once
reading this poem. Out 1t out and
paste it in your scrap-book.
Don't go the theatre, lecture orball,
But stay in your room tonight;
Deny yourself TO the friends that call,
And q good long letter write
Write to the sad old folks ut home,
Who sit, when the day is done,
With folded hands and downcast eyes,
And think of the absent one.
Don't self1shly scribble: Excuse my
haste;
I've scarcely time to write"
Lest their brooding thoughts 60 wan
dering back
To many by-gone night,
When they lost their needed SLEEP
and rest,
And every breath was q prayer
That God would save their delicate babs
To their tender love and care.
Don't let them feel you've no NOR,
| need
| OF their love and counsel wise;
For the heart grows strangely sensi

1t might be well to let them believe
You never forgo. them quite

to be dying, and the family and DR..

mained in O semi conscious condition
until O'Clock, when the report that
he was dying was again issued. From
this time on until s o'clock, there was
a noticeable Improvement, and al
