a TRUE APPETIZER AND TONIC.
Mi-o-na Win Make You Feel Hun
CRY and Hearty and Give Strength
and Vitality.

Ask any friend who looks thin,
pale, and out Of health how many
meals he or she eats a day, and the
chances are that the answer will be
"Not over two, and l don't feel hum
CRY then" The plump, rosy and ru-
bust eat three square meals daily, and
their perfect health is due to a strong
stomach and digestive system as sucha
system takes out Of the food all those
elements that make pure blood, and
give nourishment and vitality to the
body.
The one appetizer and tonic that
should be taken is Mi-o-na, the only
agent known that will strengthen the
stomach and digestive system and
put them in such perfect working or
der that they will digest easily and
naturally all the food that is eaten, and
send you to the table positively hungry
for the next meal.
Without a strong stomach, digestion
will be poor, the blood impure and
serious liver and kidney troubles re-
suit, causing headaches, backaches,
spots before the eyes, dizziness, sleep
l~essnes, nervousness, irritableness, a
furred tongue and bad breath, all Of
which can be readily overcome by the
the use Of Ml-o-na, icosting but SOC a
box), as 1t goes right to the founda-
tion oil perfect health, the stomach.
Scores Of leading people In this
State, including editors, ministers,
bankers, and their families, gladly
testify to the tonic, strengthening and
health-giving effects Of Mi-o.na. Fur
thermore, Woodbridge s. Purdy, one
Of the most reliable drug firms In this
section, sell Mona under a guaran-
tee to refund the money IL it does not
produce satisfactory results.

Estate of Frank Pitts.

An inventory Of Capt. Pitts estate
shows it to be s91, 900 exclusive of bad
paper. The foundation of this fortune
was laid during the twelve years that
Captain Pitts held the office Of col
lector and sheriff in Monroe county.
He was sheriff for four years and saved
81, 500 a year, this being the days when
the sheriff boarded county prisoners.
During eight years he was collector
Captain Pitts did even better, says
Penn Brace, who for years has attend
ed to his business, there being much
more money In that office than now.
He saved the biggest part Of his salary
as state treasurer and demonstrated
that a man by frugal and sensible
living can make money in politics.

For a Public Library.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
louisiana, Mo-, March 13.-Dear
Sir; Yours Of the 18th received and
in answer to inquiry will say that
passage of resolutions is all that is
necessary to secure Mr.. Carnegie's do
nation, but that leaves you under the
necessity Of going before your coun-
Gil every year and asking for appropri-
ations to maintain library, whereas IL
you vote a maintenance tax by cleo
tion that settles the matter until tax
is repealed by an election. VIZ adopt
ed the latter cause and had no trouble
in carrying an election In favor Of q
tax for library and funds and collected
with the other taxes and set aside for
us without any further action by the
council, You must pass the Carnegie
resolution through the council first
though. See section 6466, revised stat
utes of 1899 regarding election mat
ter.
If you could come down here /
would be glad to go over all details
with you. Yours truly,

LIGHT QUESTION is
GIVEN CONSIDERATION.
Council Considers Proposition of the
Electric Light Company, But Ac-
ton Deferred Until Thursday
Evening ALI Members
Are Present at Regu-
lar Meeting.

The much mooted light question
was the most important business be-
fore the city council at the regular
meeting Monday night. The light
company presented several PROPOSE
s~ltions, each of which applied to the
different number of lights TO be used
by the city. Proposition number one
proposes that fifty arc lamps of 1900
candle power, eight Of which burn
all night and forty-two until midnight
subject to a moonlight schedule and q
five year contract, for s4.75 a lamp per
month.
The second proposition was for o
ten year contract under the same con-
ditions, at "a. 25 a lamp per month.
The other proposition was to furn-
ish thirty arc lamps, eight to burn
all night and twenty two to burn II
til midnight subject to the moonlight
schedule and a five year contract for
s5.50 for each lamp per month.
On motion Of Mr.. Ferris, which was
seconded by Mr.. Ragsdale, to make
contract for fifty lights subject TO the
proposition offered by the light comp
any, the council, by a vote OF six to
two, killed the motion.
Mr.. Abbay moved that the PROPOSE
tion for the furnishing Of thirty arc
be accepted, but after a discus
sion, In which the entire council
seemed to think that action should
be deferred, Mr.. Abbay withdrew his
motion subject to an adjourned meet
ing Thurday night.
During the discussion Of the matter
Mayor Jones stated that there was
about 1850 available at the present
time for lights and it may be said that
the members who opposed Nj. Ferris
motion did so with the knowledge
that the city could hardly afford to
enter into a contract that would ne-
cessitate such an outlay.
The council granted the Missouri
Horse Sale Go. the privilege Of using
Love street, between Jefferson and
Coal streets, for a horse sale to be
held March 20, 80 and 81.
Reports were made by the city ply
street commissioner and ceme-
terry sexton, which were accepted.
VIM. McCabe, Of the gas company,
was present and stated that he would
be unable to submit a proposition for
lighting the city at the present time.
A committee, composed Of Mayor
Jones and Messrs. Buckner and Alb
bay, was appointed to investigate the
placing Of tiling through the property
of Ed Gamble, on North jefferson
Many sidewalks were ordered built.
Council adjourned to meet in ad-
session Thursday night.

FAIRLY GOOD CROWD IN AT.
TENDANCE AT FIRST SALES
DAY SATURDAY.
MUCH LIVE STOCK CHANGED
HANDS At GOOD PRICES.
Auctioneers Are Kept Busy During
the Afternoon and the Affair
Was Considered A Great
Suecess-Stock Sold
Well.

The first of Mexlco's monthly stock
sales was held Saturday and was a
great success as a large crowd was In
attendance and much live stock was
sold at fair prices.
Considering that the initial stock
sales day vas decided OF SO early and
consequently the time for advertising
the event was short. the success Of SAT-
urday's sales is considered a good fore
runner Of what the business men Of
this city can expect when 1t becomes
generally known that the first Satur-
day In each month Is Mexico's stock
sales day.
Among the important sales Satur-
day which a LEDGER man was told OF
are:
By Col. j. 7. Johnson: One COW
s22, nine calves $3.50 each, nine steers
s27 each.
Col. Glen Carroll sold to Ed Reed a
brown mare for sl35 and bought of
the same gentleman a pair of mules
for $l75.
Lee Bros. to r. A. Holmes a mare
s1l5.
Louis Mcintyre a mare to Mr.. Ly-
mar for $50.
Alb Romans, Benton City, bought a
grey gelding.
Col. J. N. Stephens, the well known
%auctioneer, of Martinsburg, sold about
fifteen head OF horses and mules for
different parties
The best sale Of the day was made
by VIM. E. Atkinson to Sullivan Bros,
1t being a fine pair of mules for 1886.
Many private sales were made and
among the number were:
Geo. N. johnson to S. P. Carter, a
nice pair Of mules.
S. P. Carter to John Bloom, a pair
of mules.
Ed Reid sold a pair of mules for
$3.50.
The affair was uldoubtably a great
success and much can be expected Of
the next sales day, Saturday, April

all the good fertilizer nature produces.
Just as quick as spring comes so farm
ers can go to work the first thing IL
to set fire to everything that is a little
troublesome to pillow under burn
everything that would keep the land
up and increase the production, then
grumble because they can't raise bet
ter crops, What can the farmer be
thinking about? Take everything on
the land and put nothing on. Never
burn of dry grass to get rid Of 1t,
pillow 1t under and reap the benefit
Burning of grass is the ~ruination Of
land, detrimental to the farmer, be-
ing the Quint essence Of laziness.
