The New c. & A. Passenger Depot.

The Chicago & Alton and Bur-
lington passenger trains now stop
at the beautiful and commodious
new G. & A. depot on jefferson
street.
In October, 1904, the union pas
senger depot in Mexico was de-
stroyed by fire. Since then pas
sengers stood and shivered in the
cold in winter, if they could not
rub against the stove, or took the
rains and heat of summer. Re-
Gently the Wabash completed a
neat building, constructed of con-
crete blocks, aud moved in and
now the Alton follows suit.
The Alton station is the finest in
this section of the State. Come
to Mexico and look around after
you get off the cars. You will
think Flat Rock" has blossomed
into a rose-that stenchy, ugly
spot gets the go-by hereafter.
The employees at the new Alton
station are as follows:
E. F. Mathews, Ticket and Pas
senger agent.
F. L. Richards, Trainmaster.
E. s. Wilson, Industrial agent;
clerk, Miss Virginia Price.

johnson were among those who
put in some of the hardest ticks.
Three mass meetings were held
before the required amount was
raised, one at the opera house
Thursday night, another at the
same place Friday night and the
last Saturday night at the court
house.
j. f. Llewellen made the first
offer. He would be one of 100
men to give $500 each. G. F.
Clark made a similar offer. Then
the Electric Light and Water
Works companies subscribed
So, 1000, aud so the wheel was set
in motion.
The meetings were all largely
attended and every liberal sub
scription announced-and even the
smaller ones, a. number Of little
working boys subscribing liberal
sums, was applauded. The la
dies in the audience Saturday
night gave near 5000, the sum
ranging from $15 each to $25.
Orlando Hit took the floor as a
kind of auctioneer and enlivened
the moment by announcing that
he had no wife but he would sub
scribe $15 for one. A liberal
hearted young fellow from the
country, who had no wife, sub
scribed $15 and the young ladies
present were anxious to get his
name.
Well, it was a struggle, and the
meeting held on Saturday night
lasted until 11:30 when it was an
nounced that $36, 247.5O had been
subscribed, The meeting adjourn
ed and prominent citizens guar
anteed the remainder and the shoe
company was telephoned that the
sum they asked for had been
raised. The shoe people answered
back that they would send a com
mittee here this week to look
toward closing up their part of the
bargain. The shoe people seem tc
have some fears that Mexico can.
not supply the quantity of labor
required. We hope they can be
satisfied on that point.
From the opening the factory
will give employment to about 40O
people and the number will be in
creased to 1000 or more as the
hands can be found. If the fec
tory is located here it will be the
biggest thing commercially Mex,
