(Centralia Courier)

(Centralia Courier)
Mexico is a great big fine town
that boasts of it's wealth of revenue
derived from drink factories. And
yet, Mexico has played herself sew
eraI shady tricks of late. About
a year ago our rich neighbor unload
ed a poor fellow with a large fam
lily on the Prairie Queen. He was
sick and in need of a good Samari-
tan. Centralia didn't pass him ON
to Sturgeon; but some good people
put him in a comfortable home,
sent a physician to see him, clothed
and fed his children and helped the
man that was down to his feet
again. One day last week. Mexico
passed a woman and her two chil
dren on to Centralia. Shewas en-
route from Chicago, where a scoun
drel husband had deserted hen, tt
Kansas City. The best our proud
sister could do was a ticket to the
Prairie Queen. When the poor WON
an knocked at the door of
Christian home in Centralia, she
was tired and hungry and discour
aged. But the hostess, into whose
home Providence sent her, opened
the door of hope to the disconso
late mother and babes. She was tax
en- in, beautifully cared for ant
cheered up. Then the good man o
the house went out on the street,
and raised the money to buy the de
serted wife and children tickets t.
Kansas City and gave them none
for the needs of the trip. The Prai
rie Queen may be short on revenue
but when it comes to benevolence
she never turns m of Gods unfor
tunate children empty-handed fror
her door,
