WILLIAMS & SHARP,
Real Estate and Loans,

1t Is now an exploded idea that any
one can be a successful real estate
agent. The progress made in this, as
in all other branches OF business, de-
mands that il only should be followed
by men who are reliable and who I'M
derstand every detail OF the work
The real estate agent who locates In a
town simply because 1t is experience
ing an era OF prosperity can no longer
compete with the man who mas spent
several years 10 the community. In
yesturs insist upon knowing who they
are dealing with and sellers must feel
sure that they have their property in
responsible hands. In these times of
real estate activity In Audrain county
II is hitting to direct attention 10 The
real estate firm of Williams & Sharp
who have sold many hundreds Of acres
OF land and who have always satisfied
both buyer aud seller. One OF the
prominent features OF their business
is farm loans and they are able to give
the lowest rates and satisfactory time.
This firm is composed OF Theo. j.
Williams and W. Arthur Sharp, both
OF whom have spent the greater part
OF their life in this community. This
firm undertakes all business pertain
ing to the field of the energetic real
estate dealer. They have a line list Of
Missouri farms for sale and can offer
h~ome-seekers some rare bargains. They
also take charge Of property for nom
residents, collect rents, pay taxes and
attend TO all details The members
OF this firm are familiar with every
piece OF land in the county and few
men are more capable OF advising
home-seekers than they. II you are
thinking of buying a farm for a home
or for an investment the LEDGER adj
you to call upon Williams &
Sharp before purchasing.

Attorney at Law, Mexico, No.


The progress, rise and standing OF a
state, can well be gagged by the char
acter OF It's bar; as from its ranks, more
frequently than any other profession,
are selected the men who fill highest
public stations IN the service OF the
country. Its members spring from no
privileged class, but from the people
whose aims, sentiments and aspira-
lions they share. II is a mistake to
suppose that the life of a lawyer is one
OF ease, for while it Is true the profess
sion enacts no physical labor, still the
law is a jealous master. and brooks no
rivals, and he who would win distinc-
ton must spend his days and nights
In unceasing toll. Among the mem
beers OF the Mexico bar who are worthy
OF mention in this New Year edition
OF the LEDGER, is Mr.. +. R, Jesse.
He is a native OF Audrain county,
and secured bis education by first at
tending the public school, from which
he graduated In 1882. He then enter
ed the William Jewell College, where
he remained until 1884, and In the
same year he entered the Missouri
State University at Columbia from
which he graduated in 1886. He be-
gan the practice OF his profession in
Mexico, achieving success by hard
study and a careful protection Of his
clients interests. In 1888 he was
elected prosecuting attorney on the
Democratic ticket and served two
terms. Mr.. Jesse has always been a
firm supporter Of the Democratic party
and ever ready to work In the ranks
for the advancement OF the party's
interest. His ability and reputation
as a lawyer Is well known and his care
full, accurate, able work as a lawyer
has brought him a reputation that is
more than local. In addition TO do
ing a general practice as a lawyer he
takes considerable interest In the up.

]. M. POLLARD,
0pthalmologist.

Who has had thirty-one years ex-
perience, twenty years In Mexico, and
a graduate of the Mccormick Optical
College, Chicago. His success in the
optical business has been to furnish
his patrons the finest and most perfect
ground lenses known as the Prescrip-
tion Lensel that skilled labor can pro-
duce, and to know how to place them
before the eyes to give the best results.
AS he says, the market is flooded with
cheap and imperfect lenses which do
the eyes more harm than good, and
that the eye is an organ In which all
our labors and pleasures depend and
also one OF the greatest wonders of
nature, and TO most people it's con-
struction and defects and its relations
TO human ills is practically a sealed
book; he says that many are skeptical
in regard to wearing glasses, some be-
cause they had worn them and they
did not have the desired results, and
Others because they thought 1t was
too much trouble, but these obstacles
he overcame and now they are his best
friends and there is not an instance
where they followed his instructions
that relief did not fullow. He has all
the new and improved instruments
for examining the eye and is always
affable and courteous to all.

to perfect themselves as doctors of

GER pleasure to refer to DR.. j. NJ.
Hunter, the experienced vetinary
and dentist. He possesses all the
requisite skill and experience to make
him competent to attend TO any dis
ease to which ar animal may be sub
ject. Dr.. Hunter is a veterinarian of
sixteen years experience and treats
all diseases on scientific principles.
His office and headquarters, located at

The whole spirit OF the LEDGER's

as a religious, educational and social
center, second to none in the Unit
ed States, where rich lands, cosy and
magnificent homes, amid pleasant sur
roundings, eau be had at a nominal
cost. To the new conner the first
question to be settled is where can |
find a reliable real estate firm TO
assist me in purchasing a good farm
or home In the city? The LEDGER,
the lifelong citizen, would say that
the firm OF Drake & Threlkeld is one
of the most reliable and trustworthy
real estate firms In Mexico. This firm
is composed OF G. IL. Drake and Edgar
Threlkeld, men well known for their
integrity and fair dealings, men OF
experience and Judgment, whose ad-
vice as to land and values on city
property in Audrain county is always
correct. They are experts on Missouri
lands and investments. They give
prompt, faithful and careful atten-
ton to all business entrusted to their
care. They have at present some rare
bargains In Audrain and adjoining
counties. They handle the best lands
In this locality, and these lands with
In a very few years will equal in price
the best lands OF Iowa aud Illinois.
Now Is the time 10 invest here in the
corn belt, the native blue grass region
of Missouri, as this section affords
investors a sure, safe income, and adj
vance In value. This firm also loans
money at the lowest rates and easiest
terms on real estate, collect rents for
non-residents, pay taxes and take
complete charge OF properties In every
detail. To those desiring further In

this firm has topped the market In
gated saddle and harness horses and
1t can be truthfully said that this firm
sells more high. class horses than any

county has for raising fancy saddle
horses and the firm Of Orthwein g.
Barnett have done as much, II not
more, to sustain this reputation by
exhibiting their champion prize win

Attorney at Law-0tice Over Mexico
Savings Bank.

The noblest profession on earth is
that of the law, because to be a sue
cessful lawyer a maj must possess a
knowledge of the customs and laws
which govern commerce, land laws,
state and county government laws,
and In fact every thing that he will
likely have to advise o. pass judgment
upon. These are facts beyond dispute,
and amply show the vast amount of
careful and continual study a lawyer
must undertake If he would remain
prominent in his profession. In Mex
leo we have, 10 the person Of Mr.. o.
Hit, the subject Of our sketch, q law
yer who possesses these characteristics
and occupies a worthy position In the
ranks OF his profession. Mr.. Hit was
born in Kentucky and came to Au-
drain county with his parents when
but two years old, and after finishing
his public school and college educa-
ton he took a course at the Missouri
University. He then entered the law
department OF the Kentucky Univer-
sity at Lexington, from which he
graduated in 1871, and located in Mex
leo the same year. He began the
practice OF his profession and later
was elected city attorney, a position
he held for two terms, In 1887 he
moved TO Trinidad, Colo, where he
remained 8 years, returning to Mexico
In 1895. While in Trinidad he was
elected district attorney on the Dem
ocratic ticket, serving a three year
term. IL can safely be said OF Mr..
Hit, that he is regarded as a conser-
vatiye lawyer, and that he enjoys the
respect OF his fellow members of the
bar and the good will Of the entire
community,
