As to how many candidates there
will loom up for Prosecuting Attorney
Of Audraln, We don't know. Mexico
has some splendid climber" for this
Office. Come on, boys, and show your
colors
Where is Col. Hord Davis snd Col.
Clifton jesse? We would like to enter
these two splendid ''horses'' In the
great f~ree-for-all race August 9th.
Can't get along very well without
them.
The doors to Hotel Waverly and the
north side alley open out, and are socn
to be white washed. The doors TO the
Cottonwood Niekelodeon also open
out.
MI. and Mrs. J. Il. Watts, Uf Mex
leo, were the guests Of MI. and Mrs.
Walter Peck Sunday at q 3:45 dinner.
We we're also present at the dinner.
Miss Hattie Zaugg, OF Centralia, Is
the guest OF Mexico relatives.
Ms. A. @. Gass is still quite III.
Hon. O. #. CLARK is q candidate for
Representative. He Is q good man
and is In close touch With the people.
Mr.. Clark, when he was u teacher,
years ago, gave us one Of the hardest
whippings we have ever received from
the hands OF man. Perhaps we desers-
cd 1t, and to have revenge on him, we
shall vote for him, as all good Demo-
Gratis should do,
Captain P. V. OiBrien made us q
pleasant Prohibition call q few days
ago. The Captain gave US much food
for thought He will probably be the
new manager OF the Wayerly Hotel.
Col. Joe Pratt is building q new
blacksmith shop just south Of his
residence and is helping make Mexico
q city. Joe is always to the front.
We frequently hear the name Of 0.
&. Brown spoken Of for county repre-
sentative. We don't know that he
wants the office but we will state that
Charlie would make a mighty warm
member In the House Of the State
Legislature.
Leslie Bybee shipped q grey hound
to Walter Hubbard Monday. Walter
lives In Montana, and paid Leslie $50
for the dog.
a.. T. Greenaway and W. P. Fisher
were over from Fulton Saturday. They
are both good boys and both have
sweethearts In south Mexico, and
rumor has 1t that Mr.. Greenaway is
soon to M, but we viii let It go at
that.
Col. Phillip Shire and Col. VIM.
Pratt had a warm Prohibition discus
sion at Political Headquarters Mon
day. Both sides won the case.
We learn that Meredith Armistead
Is soon to take to the stump in be-
half Of the "wet" side. Meredith is q
iorcible talker and will hand out much
food for thought.
We have written to Hon. W. s.
Cowherd, Of Kansas City, the next
governor of Missouri, for his minia-
lure picture buttons to be worn on
coats. We was a mighty
warm Hon. James A. Reed man, but
lost out We hope to be able TO vote
for Mr.. Cowherd and win In. He is the
man Of the hour.
Meredith Armistead, we learn, is
to take out license for an auc-
.tioneer. Col. Armistead Is a "corkerp
and will succeed.
Thanks to Col. Upham, OF the South
Side Hardware Store, for a Defiance
mouse trap. A mouse at the Hotel
Waveriy has been frightening the
lady boarders almost to distraction.
The trap did its work well and the
ladies' are happy on the way.
We don't know whether Walter
Peck will be q candidate for sheriff or
not. He Is now thinking the matter
and may later on, enter the race.
