He escaped from the gaurdhouse at

A state highway or any other good
road will have to be paid for largely
by those who own adjoining property,
as is the case with paved streets. The
Ledger doesn't see any objection to
state highways or better roads OF any
character, no matter whether they
run east or west, north or south, just
50 long as those who are most inter-
ested will put up the money and
foot the bills. Some object to the
proposed highway because they run
east and west instead Of north and
south. Others object to their running
north and south, but would prefer
their going straight up, rather than
pay any money, or favor any advance
ment. Some people in Mexico are
opposed to paving the north side al
| ley because the east side OF the alley
is not paved. They don't want
Promenade street paved because
North Jefferson street has not been
paved. The Ledger's idea is to have
all the good roads we can get, wheth-
er In the town or 10 the country, no
matter whether they run east or west,
north or south, or corner ways. In
the meantime, Of course, those who
don't pay any taxes and never use the
roads will criticise and protest. The
people of Mexico and Audrain county,
as a whole are public spirited, pro-
gressive and propose to have better
roads, not only in Mexico, but through
| out the entire county.

Mrs. Miller and Little Daughter In
jured.
Mrs, II. L. Miller and little daugh-
ter were considerably bruised in
runaway Friday morning, which oc-
cured near the #. e. Wentz farm,
about two and one-half miles south
west of town. Mrs. Miller, daughter
and neice, Miss Frances Glandon, were
driving west near the Wentz farm
when they met the runaway team OF
Albert Atkinson, OF near Concord,
Galloway Co. This frightened Mrs.
Milleris horse, which whirled around
turning the rig over. Mrs. Miller and
Miss Glandon succeeded in jumping
but Miss Miller was caught in wheel
and dragged about one hundred feet
She sustained no serious injury and Is
able to 90 around. Mrs. Miller re-
ceived the most painful injuries caus-
ed from the shock TO her nerves, and
in her attempt to catch the runaway
horse she fell several times. The horse
was stopped by W. L. Harper near the
Old Ladies Home.
The runaway team owned by Albert
Atkinson which caused Mrs. Millers
horse to become frightened, was scar
ed by the tongue coming down which
occurred Just west Of the Wentz place
This team turned in at the Vent
farm, and was caught with no serioul
damage to the wagon.
The Miller rig was consid erably da
mayed.

WE hear a good deal OF talk abont
Mexico and Audrain county going
dry. II the saloons are to be closed
In Mexico the cost OF paving will be
materially increased, as the exca-
vating will have ito be paid for by
property owners. The churches OF
Mexico take the position and can
demonstrate the fact that cities can
be prosperous and grow without any
saloon license. At the same time
the $4,000 paid into the city treas
ury by the saloons in Mexico will have
TO be secured in other directions. 1t
takes money to run q city. II the
money does not come from the sale
Of whisky it must come some other
way. This being the fact, 1t does
seem strange that the churches of
Mexico protest against street paving.
Tie churches don't pay any taxes.
The street paving comes right in
front of their property. The churches
should show right now that they in
tend to making Mexico city, even II
they do have to spend their own
money instead of money now paid by
the saloons. Mexico must have light,
water and paved streets Those In
favor OF doing away with the saloons
should show by their acts that they
mean what they say when they take
the position that Mexico can have
these improvements without The
saloon revenue.

neglect Few young women appreciate
