Mexico weekly ledger., 1903-09-24
Maggie MAY, d. ]. Kanaly and d


writer III we all live and are healthy
will give the boys a little touch of high
life at the Street Fair. Col. Frank
Sannebeck and members Of his Bill
Dipper Club will do the decorating
act for our float.
II our memory serves US right Major
John W. Foley, the big-hearted and
jolly merchant of Benton City, said he
was going to send the LEDGER boys a
big, juicy, Joe Folk watermelon. The
boys r waiting-gently waiting.
We learn that our handsome young
friend, Mr.. Hiram Coil, of Mexico, is
soon to lead away from Hyman's altar
a bright, blooming, blushing bride.
The fair one lives in Galloway county
and is said to be an heiress. We also
learn that Hiram will move to Kansas
City and go to house keeping away out
on East 18th street in his brown stone
residence. He has upset many a sweet
girls heart-just because he made
those heavenly goo-goo eyes.
Isn't Gottlieb Winner a hummer?
Hope he'll soon get married, join the
o. f. brigade and all will be well.
Ross Cauthorn and Roy Ferris, the
up-to-date Mexico hardware men, have
our thanks for favors. When Ferris &
Cauthorn tell you anything you can
put it down as straight goods. They
handle the Racine buggies, which are
world-beaters. Go and squint at them.
Isaac Bradley, late Of Mexico, is
now business manager OF the Fort
Collins, COL, Daily Evening Star,
a bright, newsy, well-printed sheet
little but loud. He exchanges with
the Cottonwood Bladder. Ike, we are
told, is soon to return to Mexico and
take away, as his bride, one of Mex
ico's sweet girl graduates, and then
his paper will have two business man
ayers. Success to you, Ike.
We hear that a granitoid walk is to
be built from the Fulton Branch
crossing to the city cemetery. This
would be great. Let the good work go
on. Councilman Abbay generally gets
what he goes after. Here'sa quarter.
1t was cold stuff last Wednesday and
Thursday. We allude to the weather,
Tommie Roden had q bad accident
to happen TO one Of bis fine cattle the
other day. For further particulars see
Mr.. Roden.
AL. Gard, well known In this county,
now a resident Of Butte, Mont, writes
to the Auxvasse Rerieo thusly: "Butte
is a town Of 60 thousand people and /
think there is a saloon for almost ev-
cry man In the city. Gambling houses
and saloons wide open all day. Sun
day School and church members all
dance out at summer gardens Sunday
evenings and shoot craps" Good
gracious, my dear Alfonzo, what a
wicked, wicked city. We don't know
whether we would like to make that
city our home or not-most too many
thirst joints. Col. Gard did not state
how many mint farms adjoined that
wonderful city.
We were out west 3 or 4 miles last
Sunday afternoon and called on quite
a number of our good friends and had
a jolly time with them. We called on
Major Alex Davis and son, VIII, who
live on what is known as The Corners.
win does the cooking and it is on the
European plan, too. We were greatly
enlightened here. viii told us his
father was "mlstook" one fine Sunday
not long ago. He thought the Lords
day was Saturday and hitched up his
team to do a big days blowing, when
he was convinced he was mistook. But
"Uncle" Alex will tell you the rest.
We next called on our friend, James
Kyle. Jim has been sick 3 or 4 weeks,
but is now some better. He's a good
man, has a coy little home, presided
over by a g~ood-looking and amiable
wife. They have M son, Earl, a very
cute little tot, who is fond of and owns
several little puppies and now wants a
few spotted cats. Hope Jim will soon
get well and he ought to be happy,
