To the Editor Of the Ledger.
KEYTEsvILLK No, Nov. IL, 1907
Dear Sir Having just returned to
my home In old Charlton county, 1
thought perhaps a few lines relative
70 my trip Of business and pleasure TO
your place might be Of some interest
TO your readers OF whom you have so
many.
l left K~eytesyllle at SIS p. IN. on
October "a for Mexico and arrived in
your beautiful city at lO;45. We were
pleasantly conducted by the polite
porter Of the Planters House, at which
we made our home while In Mexico
and / assure you that the gentleman
proprietor, Mr.. Saunders, and his gen.
erous family did all they could to make
us feel at home, all Of which we appre-
ciate very much. We were much
pleased with what we saw Of your
street fair and, as especially fine we
mention the rope walking, fine display
Of farm praducts and last but not
least the "Streets Of India.n
We wish to note also the splendid
order and behavior Of your people
which was very gratifying to US, and
| assure you that l never saw so large
a gathering of people representing as
they did all classes Of your citizensl SO
orderly and well behaved both day and
night. There was nothing to mar the
feeling Of anyone. Each seemed to
vie with each other in making all
Others feel free and happy.
Charley Tanner, OF Santa Fe, was
one of the first gentlemen we met
while taking a stroll around the street.
He spared no pains in showing around
The city the night l arrived and made
Us acquainted with many OF Mexico's
best citizens.
We wish very much to thank him
for this special treatment to US. We
are under pleasing obligations to all
the many real estate men of your town,
all of whom l found nice companion
able men, who seemed to give with
pleasure any legitimate information
you might be seeking.
There is a big boom 10 real estate in
Audrain county such as never before.
Many who bought in the early part Of
he boom are selling over, making a
handsome profit, in fact there have
been a few parties who have sold two
or three times, each time at a profit.
We are under special obligations to
the following parties who live in and
around Mexico:
Clayton LuptOn, at whose pleasant
home we enjoyed their hospitable
treatment; Senator BiggS, who intro
dueed us to many Of his personal
friends; all OF the county officials AT
the court house, whom we found to be
obliging and sOciable and made US feel
quite at home. We had some business
matters TO attend 70 out south OF town
with Miss Hattie Bradford, TO whom
we are under lasting obligations.
In that part Of the county we form.
ed clever and appreciated acqualnt-
ances OF Burt Roberts and Mr.. Barnes
and family. On u way home We
stopped at Thompson, at which place
met our Old-time friend, DIR. Downing.
whom we had not seen since the doc.
tor tried his fortune in the gold bear,
ing regions Of the KlODdyke.

Dedicated to Mrs. Curtis Albro-LiEss
on the Death eta Wife.

Day declines. The last bright rays
Of the setting sun have gently faded
from the western skies, the winds are
hushed, the shades OF evening are fast
gathering and the feathered songsters
seek their downy nest. Nights sable
mantle Is now hung DER the scene. No.
moon breaks forth, no stars appear
and we are In gloom.
But soon from this darkness VIII
break forth a flood Of light. Thus ends
"a Christians life. She journeys slow
" on her homeward way, until at
length her sun goes down; and then
the Night OF Death. She sleeps that
peaceful sleep that knows no waking,
but her freed spirit scars to the realms
OF light where Peace and Glory dwell.
Death has robbed the husband OF
the hearts dearest object; His seal Is.
upon the brow OF the wife; those love
beaming eyes are closed forever no.
ray OF light penetrates the depth Of
misery TO cheer the bereayed one, and
all seems sad and desolate.
Oh how little | thought that death
would appear
And rob me Of one my heart cherish
ed most;
Oh. how little I thought the time was
so near,
When her sweet face from my gaze
would be lost.
l sit and weep while my mind ponders
Ger
And wanders back to happy days
flown;
1 weep when / think that no more
j shall hear her call me fondiy her
own.
My heart aches to think l shall for
ever miss
The smiles which made life's rugged
path shine;
How sad to think l ne'er again shall
kiss
Those lips that were oft pressed to
mine.
How painful to know that the hand OF
my choice
viii meier again press my brow.
How could l but love her, when she
never knew
Ought else hut to make my dark
hours bright.
He gave her to me but a short time to
keep,
Then Why should / mourn, o God,
give me Grace,
Give me that faith to live close to.
thee.
l will chase back the tear,
For she is waiting and watching for
me,
The wife Of my bosom l loved SO.

Farm and Home.
Too many are afraid Of a little work
and trouble. I clean the pens twice
week. Hogs are supplied WITH plenty
of watsr ard charcoal to prey ent dis
ease. Alr-sIacked lime Is used Tor 2
disenfectant. With proper care there
Is very little danger Of disease. There
are preventives, but no cure Tor chol-
era when it gets start. [ always plant
a patch OF potatoes tor feeding hogs IN
tho fall to get them TO market quickly
l started bunch OF hogs on potatoes,
led them sixty days with chopped and
cooked potatoes, with little whole
gain, AID the hogs made gain OF two
and bali pounds day, of 100 pounds
a hog. Care should be taken in start
ing hogs On potatoes They should be
fed sparlngly at first, increasing little
every time they are fed, not feeding
more than they will clean up. The
best market for hogs is at 200 to 200
p )unds weight.
