Another good thing to look forward

Col. John Burgess tells us be bought
Monday OK Judge Jas. A. Lewis II
head Of 3-yeaF-o old 1850 pound steers at
$3.50 cwt. Col Burgess says be will
at once put them on full feed for 90
days. They are extra fine cattle.
Wanted.-The Mexico printers want
TO buy a good com and 'possum dog.
We don't want a dog that will run
rabbits and cats at night. VIII pay a
fair price for the right kind OF dog.
Dock Patton has the dog we want but
bis price is too high.
Edward O'Brien has sold his fine
l20-acre farm, known as the Judge
Shell farm, Just northwest OF town, &c
Alfred Cox, Of this county, for SIS per
acre-s9,000, cash. Mr.. O'Brien will
shortly nov to Mexico to be in close
touch to our excellent schools. He
and bis family will be as welcome to
Mexico as the flowers In May.
And now we hear that our friends,
Joe Pratt, Mack Jones, Billy Curry
and John /. Brown are somewhat
''swelled and disgruntled" because the
Owl did not light at their homes, up
Thompson way, last Fritay. Dear
friends, be not dismayed; we'll be
there, providing you chain up your
dogs and have something good to eat
and a little bit Of Kentucky mountain
dew to drink. We did call for John
l., but he was out-sparking.
Mrs. Grace Fletcher, a very amiable
and v~ivacious lady, west Of town,
hands the Owl the cash for the Ledger
for n year and Is 0 happy on the
good and only way. Col. Fred LANCE,
OF near Thompson, also comes across
with the cash. He wants the news
and now gets 1t. It's a way the good
people have. Let the good work go on
1t is with pleasure that the Owl
learns that an accomplished and viva
cious lady school teacher in the west
end says she ''could not teach a sue
cessful school II she was not a reader
Of the Ledger every week, To read
Dill's column In the paper Of Sundays
is just like the passing Of a sweet
dream" Correct. It's a way Dill
has. This same lady Is one Of the
most learned and successful school
teachers In grand old Audrain County.
DR., Kanaly is nov the proud owner
of the black harness gelding, Ironside,
formerly owned by OFT Egerer. The
doctor traded the horse, Black Dia-
mnnd, for three acres Of corr In the
field. Good corn and a fine horse.
Col. viii Dawson, formerly OF this
city, but who now owns and lives on a
fine farm, four miles west Of Fulton,
was in Mexico shaking hands with his
many friends Saturday. Why, of
course, Col. Dawson reads the Ledger
and is happy and prosperous.
Our handsome young friend, Jesse
Of West Pine Boulevard, we
learn, is soon mot yet, but SOON to
pluck a sweet flower from the garden
Of love and take said flower tn the
great Seattle Exposition and other
In the west Jesse is a model
young mar and the Ledger wishes him
and bis soul-mate peace, prosperity
and happiness. Thanks to Jesse for
fine, large, fat, juicy gooSeberry pie.
Judge A. ]. Douglass, Of near Ben.
ton City, vas in Mexico Tuesday
hands with bis many friends.
We gave Judge Douglass the joyous
hand and be handed out to the Owl
much food for thought. He is on the
sunny side Of IS years old; has been a
'esident Of this county most all those
'ears and "partly raised" the Der
nody Bros, who have made good,
Useful citizens. We are going to ask
he gallant Judge to make the Mexico
printers a progressive talk at their
.nnual Jubilee, oon to be Teeled OH
lear Cottonwood Springs. The Judge
las been a close reader Of the Ledger
or many years and is prosperous and
Iappy on the good and only way.
