An Exeellsnh Program


The Hardin College Conservatory Of
Music, under the direction sof Prof.
Iver A. Thomas gave their students
recital Friday evening, even though
ii was the thirteenth. The old super
stition was again proven delusion by
the decided success Of the entertain
ment and the credible manner In
which each young woman acquitted
herself.
Those taking part we're: Misses AL
line Cauthorn and Helen Jolly, class
Of Mrs. Adam; Edith Crosby, class Of
Miss Barnum; Lillian Digges, class Of
Miss Jack and Ethel Eckerd, class Of
Mr.. Thomas.
The work of Misses Cauthorn and
jolly showed conscientious effort
Their voices are OF considerable flexl-
bility their enunciation and tone quail
ity good.
Miss Crosby is progressing rapidly
in b er violin playing
having a good Ground tone and
very fair bowling. This department
shows q distinct advance as proven by
the fact that Miss Crosby is the only
Senior there has been for number OF
years.
Miss Digges. the elocntionist, held
the aktantion of the auflienca and was
quite successful in her .very interest
ing number,
Miss Eckerd, the pianist, proved
herself the possessor Of an excellent
memory, a clean, fluent technic, good
pedalling and a fine appreciation Of
tone values and Interpretation.
These recitals will be continued ,ev-
cry week and will no doubt lprove
most interesting and beneficial, both
TO the students and general public.

Judge T. +. Murray, Of Hereford, .
prominent Galloway county stockman
and farmer, was in this city Friday
attending the Emmons Short-horn
sale. He is an enthusiastic mover In
the southern extension Of the Mexico
Santa Fe and Perry Traction Co., Of
Missouri. During call at the Ledger
ONCE Judge Murray had the following
to say regarding the movement and
promoters who are trying to force
their way into the proposition on the
Columbia terminus.
~ have just been into Columbia and
that territory recently and find there
is really nothing In the numerous
articles published III the Columbia
papers concerning the work Of Mr..
Spaete and his associate. They seem
to be moving principally In Columbia
and doing little in the county,
"The survey Of the Mexico company
is progressing nicely. Every resident
along the route has implicit faith In
this company and will stand behind
them. Regarding any interlopers l
can truthfully say they haven't the
least chance. We like the Mexico
men who are handing the proposition
and have promised our undivided sup
mort. This thev Certainly will re-
cieva.
''No matter IL the other promoters
are perfectly sincere In the PROPOSE
tion the Mexico company were on the
field first and thereby:by right Of prior
ity they will be igiven first chance At
everything by our people. l believe
the line will be built for the money Is
ready and waiting among us for them
when the hour arrives for it to be
transferred.

Colman Hunting Camp, on Black
River, Nov 10, 1908.
r. M. White. Editor, Mexico. Mo.
We hunted lFriday, Saturday and
Monday and chased deer each day, ,rbut
without q shot. This was due ito the
excessive dry weather and heat and
forest fires A large section of this
county has been burned during the
last two weeks.
Last night it rained all night and
this put out the forest fires and damp
ened the leaves and ground SO the
dogs can find and trail the ndeer. We
went out this forenoon and had two
fine chases and killed one deer. This
was shot by one of our drivers. A
number Of turkeys were seen but the
season ia not one for turkeys until
Dec. 1st. Fishing was never better.
Four Of our party caught over fifty as
fine jack salmon, bass and croppy in
two hours as were ever caught within
the same time. We have more veni-
son, quail, fish, squirrel and turkey
KILLED over the Arkansas line, as we
cannot kill them in this Statel, than
we can use. We also have 'possum,
coon, owl, etc. As we now :have rain
we expect to kill all the deer I'VE will
want. There are more deer liz these
woods than we have ever found on
former trips. We are all enjoying our
camp life as the weather is fne and
now refreshing after the rain. We re-
ceived the Ledger up to Thursday, as
well as the St. Louis papers, and our
club extends to you our thanks for the
Ledger, which is good reading In the
woods. We expect more papers and
letters tomorrow. Our mail comes
three times a week. We are there
fore not fully informed as to State
politics. We still hope for success.

THE pRESTIaE nR FOLK

Referring to the cheerful, philo-
sophical way in which Gov. Folk
takes dis defeat in the Senatorial
race. the Jefferson City Democrat
says:
Governor Folks cheerful acceptance
Of the result OF the senatorial primary
gave assurances of a harmonious spirit
within the party and was one consol-
Ing feature Of an otherwise disappoint-
ing election.
But now comes the Columbia Tri-
bune. one OF Senator stones personal
organs, and abusively consigns Gov.
Folk TO complete oblivion.
IL cannot be contended that this is
becoming in Senator Stone and bis
supporters.
Sore spots are sufficiently plentiful
without bruising them anew when
there is nothing 10 be gained thereby
for Senator Stone.
1t would be more digniHed, more
conducive Of good feeling in the party,
TO smooth over the rniiies instead OF
irritating those who fought for the
principles they hold sacred.
Oan II be that Senator stone is not
10 allow the advocates Of the Folk pol
icies TO remain ON Missouri soil and
follow their ideals and their con
science.
In the name o! bleeding Democracy,
let us haveNpeace.
The party spirit will never be built
up on intolerant spleen.
Let Stone accept victory in the
same spirit that Folk accepts tempor-
ary reverse.
Folk Is not SO easily consigned to
oblivion. He has reared monuments
OF good government In Missouri that
neither time nor pygmies can crumble.
he has lifted the tone of the metro
politan centers, he has made boodling
dangerous, crime scarce, graft hazard.
GUS. Above all be has instilled In the
body politic wholesome respect for
the law.
The columbia Tribune will find
Folk the livliest corpse that ever
struck Missouri soil. In his policies
Of governmental reform is the most
potentstrength Of the Democracy Of
the state and nation to-day.
Although Folk retires to private
life poor man, he will not be allowed
to remain long in that station.
The issues be embodies are virile
and inyinclble. They will survive,
because they are imbedded in the
hearts and conscience Of the people.
The battle against evil elements is
not over. 1t has just begun. The
masses OF Missouri yeomanry, II not
the city slums, have said by their
ballots that they trust Jos. W. Folk.
This trust Is mutual.
Keep your eye on Folk. He is young
and 1912 Is not so far away.
