Along the grassy slopes and in the
fertile valleys of Missouri feed and
fatten some of the grandest cattle, the
most nutritious mutton and the largest
hogs In the union, and in consequence
our meat markets are stocked with
the finest and freshest of meats.
Among the foremost establishments
of this kind is that of Fl. O. Sannebeck,
located on West Promenade street. The
market was opened to the public n
year ago. The business is transacted
in a large and commodious store room,
measuring 20x60 feet, and is mi of
the best equipped and most modern of
these industries in u city. The stock
consists of fresh and cured meats,
sausage, hams, pork and beef pro-
ducts, oysters, fish, game and vegeta-
bles in season, also a carefully select
ed stock of fancy groceries. Mr.. H. G.
Sannebeck, the proprietor, Is a native
of Kentucky, coming to Mexico ten
years ago. He has had two years ex-
perience in the cattle business and as
q result is able to select the best kind
of meat and sell it at a price which
will surprise you. The proprietor is en-
ergetic and enterprising, believing
that the modern method OF trading
| the best meat at the lowest prices for
| cash, is bound to secure patronage.
| Note the address of this market and
| remember that it has no connection
| with any other firm in Mexico.

Experience has amply demonstrated
that, "a stitch In time nine;"
and in no greater instance Is this old
adage more applicable than In that
Of the wear and tear of the things in
everyday use. The necessity for an
establishment where Sc wing machines,
bicycles, guns, locks and similar work
be repaired with promptness and
at trifing cost, called into existence
the business of Howard Il Bradley,
which lie loo ated at the corner of West
Monroe street and the square. This
business was established six years ago
and from the start success has accrued
to IL. In addition to doing all kinds
OF repairs, Messrs. Howard 4 Brad
ley are practical electricians and
undertake the fitting OF electric light
plants, electric bells; in fact, any
thing in that line. The firm consists
OF 8. 8. Howard and r. A.. Bradley.
They are both thoroughly practical
machinists and their many years
residence in Mexico has gained them
the respect and patronage of a large
number of u citizens. Their estab-
lishment has become known as the
Fix II Shop" and is well worthy oil
patronage; for anything entrusted te
their care they will put to rights, and
mat 1t very small cost.

p. III. Cullen,
Mexico, Missouri.

In the history of this nation the
names of illinois, noblest sons are
interwoven, who in the halls of Con-
gress, on the bench of justice, in the
busy marts OF trade, or at the forensic
bar, have gained distinction and
stamped their identity on the pages
of the past. Every student is as ia
miliar with their names as the bud
ding scholar is with the alphabetical
characters of n language, and it is
unnecessary to enumerate them. 1t
is, however, of the present that We
would speak, OF men whose lives are
allied with the present civil and po-
litical life of Missouri, and we select
as q subject for our theme one of Au-
drain county's prominent citizens, q
distinguished jurist, an able speaker
and q thorough Democrat. Patrick
Henri Cullen ia a native of Spring
field, ILL.,, where he was born in 1854.
His father, James Cullen, moved to
Rails county, Mo-, in 1859, where he
died in 1881, leaving the subject OF
our sketch dependent on his own re-
sources for education. Such difficult
ties could not daunt the indomItable
energy of MIR. Cullen, and by working
In summer he was able to acquire his
education In the public schools In
winter and In 1883 to attend the Perry
Institute. Like many of Americas
prominent men, he began life in the
newspaper business, being associated
with the Perry Pioneer from 1888 to
1885. Selecting law AZ q profession,
he entered the law department of tbs
| Missouri State University, from which
ho graduated In 1888. It was while In
the university that his abilities as
speaker were first recognized and hi
supremacy In this respect was estab'
lished by his being elected represent
ative at the Intercollegiate contes
for 1883. The same year he began tn,
practice OF his profession at Vandalii
and later became editor OF the Wanda

until 1892, when he came to Mexic'

1t ia a pleasure to be able to point
out to our readers q house which from
its reception has maintained the high
est standard of excellence in the trade
and where the very best materials
are made into the most improved
styles of harness, n all orders for
repairing are promptly attended to
at moderate and fair prices. A COM
prehenslve line of machine and hand
made harness, collars, brides, whips,
robes and everything usually kept
in a first class harness store, are to
be found here in quantities. They
also carry a complete line of fine bug
gles from the well known manufac-
turers, which they sell at prices which
defy all competition, supplying the
same reliable material and workman
ship. This business was established
in 1850 and is located on East Side
Square in q large shop, measuring
2Ox106 feet. 1t is up-to-date and sup
piled with every appliance necessary
for the successful conducting of their
business. Two features are promi-
nent in this firm: the first being the
fact thai on machine-made harness of
their own manufacture, they give a
two years. guarantee; the second, the
large trade and reputation they have
acquired for their 'spring seat sad

southern states. The firm consists oil

in addition,the patient invariably suf-
fers much discomfort and many dis
eases OF the mouth and gums are
liable to arise. Il will at once be
seen how valuable ia the advice of a
skilled dental surgeon, who takes
time to diagnose correctly and locate
accurately the use OF the trouble,
which O dentist who works cheepIy
and lightly, is liable to overlook. The
charges of a skilled dentist fer per-
fectly satisfactory and lasting opera
tons r comparatively little more
than those of q second-rate for i'm
perfect and unsatisfactory work;
while in addition the patient has the
satisfaction OF knowing that he gets
what he pays for and that of the very
best. The ranks OF the dental pro-
fessiOn in Mexico comprise some able
men, among whom there is none more
worthy of mention than DR.. j. F. Me-
Williams. The doctor Is a native
Missourian, having been born In
Boone county. After acquiring his
classical education, he entered the
Missouri State University at Column
bia, from which he graduated in 1867.
He then came to Mexico and studied
under DIR. j. w. Reed, now of Butte,
Mont, and began the practice of his
profession at Vaudslia, where be re-
NAMED two years, then returning to
Mexico, and his career since that time
bears undoubted testimony to his
skillful, capable work, acquiring a
reputation that is more than local. In
fraternal orders, DIR. WcWilliams be-
longs to the Odd Fellows and for
twenty years he has been q member
of the State Dental Association of
Missouri. 1t is a note worthy fact
that we r pleased to mention that
the doctor has held all the offices oil
the association, from the lowest to
that of president. And the fact that
he was elected to that position by the
dental surgeons of the entire state oil
Missouri, shows the esteem in which
he is held by the profession. DR..
McWilliams' dental Office is on South
Jefferson Street and we may add that
he is equally skilled in all classes oil
dental work.

1t liz seldom that the people consider
how active a part q plentiful supply of
pure water plays in the upbuilding of
q great city, for while its location may
be unsurpassed, its streets broad, its
business blocks and public buildings
of the most massive kind, still all
these go for naught unless they are
supplemented by In abundant supply
OF the purest water, conveyed into
every home and business block. Pure
water is necessary for domestic and
sanitary purposes, and besides it is
absolutely essential as q preventative
of loss from fire, as capitalists are
timid about investing money until
they know they are safely guarded in
this respect. Mexico Is particularly
fortunate in having the water supply
furnished by the above company,
which was established in 1885. Pre-
vious to that the citizens were depend
ent upon their W resources for secur-
ing a supply of water and this was a
great drawback to the growth of the
city. 1t was that state of affairs which
called into existence the above COM
pany, which was formed by a combi-
nation Of prominent citizens and cap
italists. The wells and pumping
works are located one mile south of the
depot, the supply being secured from
a lake covering about thirty acres of
ground and thirty feet deep. The
works, which are on the "Holly Sys-
tenn" are fitted with two sets of boil
ers of 100 horse power each, and pumps
capable of throwing 100000 gallons
daily, which is distributed at high
pressure through about six miles
of mains, furnishing every con-
sumner and the fire hydrants with
an ample supply. The manage
ment of the company Is undertaken
by the following citizens of Mexico:
j. F. Llewellyn, Esq, President; A.
d. Jackson, Esq, Vice-President; j. j.
Steele, Esq, Secretary and General
Manager, and r. e. Dewing. Esq and

Doctor OF Dental Surgery, South JEFF
ferson Street, Mexico, Mo.

1t is to be deplored that so many
people fail to realize the Importance
of having expert dental work, and
that cheaper dentists are largely pat
ronized because of a seeming econ
omy in prices al compared with q
dentist eminent in the profession.
Few Of the general public realize that
1t is of az great importance, proper
tionately, to have 3 irst-class dentist
as 1t is to have a first-class surgeon.
The production ola perfect piece oil
dental work requires much time, az a
dentist cannot afford to devote the
proper amount of time and n to ar
operation unless remunerated fol
the excellence of his work; so that
low prices mean inferior WORK, while

The steady growth of the city as a
trading center is due in a great meas
ure to its location, but when to this
is added the men of energy, enter
prise and business sagacity that com
prise her merchants, her prosperity is
in a great measure accounted for.
The city is surrounded by a rich agri-
cultural section and it has remained
for the merchants of Mexico to pro-
vide q trading center that is metro
politan in its character. No firm has
done mor toward making Mexico
the thriving city that it now is than
that of the above, who are b legiti-
mate successors to the firm of j. ID.
Morris & Co., who established the
business many years ago. Their
premises are of the dimensions of
30x110 feet, occupying two floors,
stocked with dry goods, ladies'
and gents furnishings, notions, boots
and shoes. Their stock of dry goods
is complete, both in detail and quality,
having been selected with a careful
regard as to style, quality and price.
Everything that ladies can need for
outdoor or indoor wear and use in the
household is here to be found, and it
| would be supererogation or our part
to say that the stock of this firm
takes front rank with any in this Sec
ton. The firm consists of j. d Nor
ris, John Abbay and j. @. Wilkins.
| To the old settlers of Audrain county
| Mr.. Morris is well and favorably
known. Messrs. Abbay and Wilkins
| joined the firm the beginning of this
year, having previously been asso
| ciated with Messrs. Blum. Having a
life's experience in this line of BUSH
ness, they are we'll qualified to con-
duct an up-to date store. The firm is
composed of men with the most pro-
gressive ideas, to whom there is NO
such word as fail, and if the best OF
goods at bottom prices, together with
prompt attention to patrons, means
success, then the firm of Morris,
Abbay & Wilkins will enjoy a larger
amount of patronage than ever before
