to the gospel. During the meeting

Correspondence OF the Ledger.
HEDGE DALE, Nov. 12.-Didn't we
have a nice, quiet electionl We hand
ed in our vote about 0 O'Clock a. M,
and by 4 p. M. we were at a voting
precinct in Monroe county, twenty
five miles northwest of here. The
Monroe boys were still receiving a few
votes, but all was quiet-no jangling,
no loud talk, and our observation Is
there was not a vote bought or sold in
the State of Missouri.
We drove to the residence Of Frank
Edwards, one Of Monroe's most thrifty
farmers; he had recently erected a fine
and commodious barn; some smart,
flue~nt-talking rascal had put the
worst botch job Of lightning rods on
Mr.. Edwards house We ever saw. We
remodeled the whole work in a scien'
tifc manner, trimmed up his barn
with perfect protection, eat a sumptu'
Gus dinner and enjoyed a social CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Edwards and his esti'
mable wife for an hour, and reluctant
ly left them. MI. Edwards owns
fine farm, has good crops, handles gooC
stock, lives happy, and has no shin
plasters on his farm.
From there we drove to the resi-
dence Of John Mattock. He owns {
fine farm of 400 acres and 1t is a mode
farm; large two-story house Of ter
rooms, and a perfect little town D.
necessary outbuildlngs, besides a barr
64x54 feet. No gates hanging on ON
hinge, no plank missing from tn,
fence. He is feeding two loads o
splendid high grade cattle; they ar
ready for market now. All Of hi
stock is fat and everything on th'
farm looks in a prosperous condition
Mr.. Mattock is a lifelong Demo
crat and is proud Of 1t, and he has
right to be, because he is honest AM
conscientious in everything he does
We have profound respect for me-
who are honest in their convictions
although we may differ in our views
We left Mr.. Mattock's large barn SAT
