Mexico weekly ledger., 1909-10-28

our young friend, Ksney Ayress who
died, Friday, at his home, six miles
west Of Mexico, OF typhoid fever,
complicated with measles. He was
inferred at the Beaver Dam burial
grounds Saturday afternoon at $3.50.
Mr.. Ayres was IS years OF age and was
a bright, good young man.
THE OWL DAsHEs FOR THE WEST POLE.
Fridays, the weather favorable, is a
day set apart by the Owl to clrcumam.
bulate and explore the mountains Of
Cottonwood Springs and Postum
Walk, hoping to find and be the first
American to nail the stars and stripes
to the West Pole. It's a way We have
but we have failed to find the said
pole and next Friday will make
another dash to the farthest west,
near Lake Armlstead. We have long
arranged our compass so as TO swing
around the circle and arrive at the
Cedardale Hotel about the noon hour.
Col. John @. Fecht is proprietor Of the
Cedardale and his amiable little wife
Is manager and boss OF the household.
Now, Mn. Fecht does things to a
queens taste. It's a way she has.
The dinner was great. o, you big
g~ooseberry piel Our stay at this
happy home was q sweet dream.
Col. Fecht vas not at home, but Mrs
Fecht, Miss Gertrude aud Dennis and
Willie were there with the goods.
Miss Beatrice Fecht was also not at
home. She is attending Jesse Academy
and is one of the schools brightest
pupils. Col. Fecht vas over north,
several miles, putting some fine Ital-
ian finishing touches on William O.
Fecht's handsome new residence.
John is sure an artist behind the saw
and hammer, welding a broad-ax that
few artists tnow living ''can hold a
candle to-" and is much In demand.
In our circling, W. gained much food
for thought. Coons and 'possums are
ripe and so are black haws and per-
simmons and such-a-tash and acorns;
bumber corn crops are being gathered
and turkeys are roostlng high, pre-
pairing to meet their enemies face-to-
face on Turkey Day, Nov. 25. We
also had heart-to-h heart and face-to-
face talks with the Ledger's good
friends, Major Barney and Col. Henry
Jung, Col. Walter and DR.. Frank
Peck and Col. Charlie Brown, who
gave us a delicious hand-out of juicy
James A. Reed apples. TITS hard to
keep a Ledger ma from going the
gaits and having a good time. It's a
way we have. Why, Of course, all
these good people read the Ledger, and
have been for many years. And IFS no
wonder they are happy and prosperous
on the good and only way. We always
like to give good people the glad n6s-.
BALLOON SAILS Low OVER MIAMI.
Two weeks ago, several balloons
we're seen to sail over the city Of
Miami, Mo during n day, by the
citizens of this wide-awake little town
close by the Missouri River. One
balloon, "The Indiana" sailed so low
that Col. Pike Bishop, a merchant
at Miami, had quite a little talk with
the balloon man CD religion and the
political outlook. Now, Col. Bishop
was born and raised In Indiana, close
up to Indianapolis, and sc was the
man In the balloon. They recognized
, each others voice and both learned
; that they used to go to Sunday School
together In indianapolis many years
. ago. Quite a coincident. They wert
too far apart to give the glad hand
y This same balloon sailed owe thu
D Miami school house and the children
. much enjoyed the passing OF tn
e man In the air. Much rubber-neckinI
was reeled off by the citizens. Th'
balloon then sailed gracefully on u
y the river and passed over Carrollton
x The next day the balloon was e II
b tar-off Minnesota. Col. Bishop is
8 brother-in-law OF the Ledger Owl, AM
l. is a good man, and as far as we know
'e Pike has but one bad fault-he is
T. Republican. We hope the Colone
., before the next presidential electio
70 will have a change of heart, join th
{, Democratic ranks and come over O
the Lords side before 1t is everlasl
!. ingly too late. Be god.
