IF LOVE BE ONE.

The skies are black, the winds are bold.
The road IL rough and long,
But what are clouds and stony ways
When hearts are full Of song?
And two there be who walk life's path
Unheeding wind or weather,
And minding but your merry spritc
Who binds their hearts together.
All ways are smooth, all days are bright,
With him for guide and sun,
And three are always company,
II Love be onei
The road 10 smooth, the wind Is soft,
The sky 10 clear oerhead,
But what are pleasant ways and days
To those whose hearts are dead;
And what IL song that flls the ears,
But can no farther 60;
And what 10 light that eyes can see,
But souls can never knowf
All, two there Be that walk LIES path
Al though they walked alone,
For two are never company
II Love be gonel

be had withdrawn from the race for

the reports probably sprung from tbs
fertile soil of the White House lot.
"Why, 1 have scarcely entered the

draw at this time? have not beer

to withdraw from at present. You
can state positively that I have said
nothing which would give the impress
sion that l have withdrawn"

Dewey has minated that he would
be pleased to visit Cleveland, MARI

ing to extend the invitation, though
it is said a strong effort Is being
made to prevent it.

Pennsylvania Democrats for BryaI

fenntytVAn1A Oeu0utdN iof nIyan'
The New York Journal, referring to
the actions OF Democrats in Pennsyl-
vanla in convention assembled, edi-
torially says:
The action OF the Democratic State
Convention is not only a compliment
Of the highest description to MFR.
Bryan, but a substantial assurance of
his nomination. The votes OF the
West and South alone would be
enough to nominate him, and when
Pennsylvania leads OF with her sixty
four votes, not one of which went TO
him in 1896, 1t Ia evident that the
Kansas City Convention will choose
him substantially by acclamaticn.
The Democrats OF Pennsylvania are
especially to be congratulated upon
their platform. It demands "tarifi
revision, the placing on the free list
OF raw material and products used or
controlled by trusts, the enforcement
Of the Anti thrust law Of 1890, absolute
control OF the Nicaraguan Canal by
this country, nc further surrender Of
Alaskan territory, fertilization OF
strategic points on the Pacific, no en-
tangling alliance with foreign coun-
tries, secret or open; free trade with
Puerto Rico, independence for Cuba,
home rule for Philippines under
American protection, direct election
Of United States Senators, b~imetallism,
municipal ownership, ballot reform
and an income tax"
In other words, 1t Is in every essen-
tlal respect a Journal platform, and
therefore one that certainly ought to
be, and probably will be, q winner.

Obituary Of Mrs. Erred. Robsrt.

At the residence OF Mrs. Cunning
ham, on March %, 1900, Mrs. Fred
Roberts was called peacefully to rest.
Mrs. Roberts was q bright student, q
lover Of art and devoted to music.
Having shown her intellectual pow
ers, God would show bis transforming
spiritual power. 1t was after q loving
heart had tried to find Its satisfaction
In this world and In WEAKNESS turned
from 1t she found Jesus Christ, the
healer OF every wound. Her walk
was such as to gain the praise and
commentator Of all with whom she
came in contact, whether professor or
non-professor. She was q dutiful
wife, a kind daughter. 3 most genial
and warm hearted companion, was
the pride and joy Of her beloved hus-
band; she was ren and cheerful
herself and diffused the magnetic
light Of her example upon all those
around her. She was regarded as the
Light and soul OF the home which she
adorned with her bright example.
We extend q deepest sympathy and
mingIe our tears with the bereaved
husband. After funeral services con-
Quoted at the house by Rev. Butcher
we laid her to rest in the Concord
cemetery and can say In the language
OF the poet:
One precious from his heart Ia gone,
The love he loved lie stiEled;
The place made vacant in his home
Can never more be filed.
Our Father in His wisdom called
The boon his love had given;
And though IN earth the body lies,
The soul is in heaven.

FIRST FAIR.
An Article in the Mexico Ledger OF
December 81, 1855, Favoring Or
ganintion Of an Agricul-
tural Society.

MI, O. B. Doolin, OF this city, has
handed tie LEDGER a copy of The
Missouri Ledger Of date Saturday,
december "a, 1856, which contains the
following editorial article favoring the
organization OF q fair association in
Audrain county, the fair to be held at
Mexico. The association was formed
and many fairs were held the grounds
being located In tbs northeastern
suburbs of town, inst north Of where
the residence Of Thos. M. GIN now
stands. This was something like A
years ago. The stock interests OF this
county and section are many times
greater now than at that early day,
yet Audrain has no fair association
and has not had for q number Of
years. Agricultural exhibitions and
fairs are essential to keeping alive the
farm and stock interests Of a com-
munity, and Audrain's reputation
abroad asa horse and stock center
stands ahead of any other county in
Missouri. This should not be allowed
to lapse. By all means Mexico
ought to keep up her fairs and sgri-
cultural shows.
In regard to the organization Of Au-
drains fret fair association the
LEDGER of December q, 1855, said:
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Being of the opinion that there were
public spirit and enterprise enough
among the people of our county to
get up an agricultural and mechanical
: society in Audrain, we were pleased
to insert the communication OF
Saxon In our last issue. We be-
leve that the formation of such an
. association is urgently demanded by
the interests of our citizens. Counties
with fewer mechanics, and far less
fine stock than Audrain can produce,
have long since formed Agricultural
Societies, and are now In high tide oil
! successful progress, publishing yearly
to the world the fact that they have

tended for premiume, it was sure to
q be successful In receiving the red rib.
bon.' Audrain stock was shown al
Columbia, Fulton, Paris, New London,
st. Louis and other places. II then
we have stock that have taken pre-
! miums abroad, andif we have citizens
, who r willing to contend for the
! red ribbon away from home, and pay
: gate fees, &C., why not Immediately
organize and commence preparations
and hold q fair Ia '57? And then We
may reap some of the profits and
benefits ACQUIRING from these ~organiza-
4 lions. Audrain is progressing toe
rapidly to be any longer without q
fair. Let MS hear from our farmers
and mechanics on this subject; oul
columns are always open TO com
munications calculated in their nature
to benefit our county and harmonize
