THE ELECTRIC
R.R. PROSPECTS

Fulton, Mo, Dec. THE next
move of the Mckinley System of
Illinois which recently purchased
the jefferson City electric, it is re
ported, will be the purchase of the
Fulton division of the Chicago 4
Alton, which runs from Cedar
City, opposite Jefferson City, to
Mexico, Mo.
The report is strengthened ty
the visit TO the Fulton division of
President Worthington of the
Chicago & Alton Railroad.
He passed thru Fulton and
went to jefferson City, where he
conferred with members of the
State Public Utilities Commission
1t was said representative of the
Mckinley System was with him.
The Jefferson City system runs
across the bridge that spans the
Missouri River into Galloway
county. The Kingdom extension
and the bridge are the property of
the electric railway company.
When the Mckinley System
purchased the Jefferson City line
its officials announced the bridge
would be strengthened to ace M
modate more and heavier traffic
by obtaining control of the Full
ton division of the c. & A. the
electric line would be enabled to
run its ears directly from the bust
ness section of Jefferson City to
Fulton and Mexico.
The track is in fair condition
and the division could be electri-
| fed i'll a short time.
The Chicago & Alton is said to
have been neglecting its Fulton
division; many complaints as TO
the service have been made, and
it is believed the company would
rather sell out to a strong conf
peting electric line than engage in
an expensive fight to retain the
business of this section.
The Columbia branch in that
event probably would be built
from a point below Fulton near
New Bloomfield.

Dear Message I'll have been

Satan hindered. Paul, writing to
one of the churches said he had
desired to visit them time and
again but Satan hindered, and if
he hindered Paul he may hinder
preachers today. Why notY
Especially such as Paul who was
set for the defense of the Cos
pei" Well, l will not compare
myself with Paul, but surely
Satan is around, and he is doing a
big lot of work, hindering the
progress of our Lord and Master
Paul says in one Of his Epistles
He is transformed into an angeI
Of light, and it is no great thing
if his ministers be. See ii
Corinthians, II Chap. 13-14-l0
Therefore, we must not be ready
to take up with everything thai
comes along even if the preacher
is learned and eloquent. Thu
preacher may have sad smile up
on his face (or a sweet smile, JUS
as you like). |All kinds o
doctrines are preached. Men cal
deny that Jesus Christ came il

it will be said he is nice and re

A HOLD-UP AND
A BURGLARY

Hubert Dixon and Sylvester
Jackson, both colored, were ar
rested first of the week by Sheriff
J. w. Barnett and his Deputy,
Sam Wallace, on the charge of
holding up and robbing Joe Fox,
a mute, Saturday night, near Pol
locks Mill. They seized Fox
around the neck and nearly
choked the life out of him. He
had but so cents, which he turned
over to his assailants, who then
left him. Judge Barnett, on their
plea of guilty Monday afternoon,
gave each of the negroes three
years in the penitentiary.
Some more mischief Saturday
night was somebody's throwing a
chunk of concrete thru the plate
glass front door of wilkins &
Brown S Shoe Store, then enter
ing the building and stealing two
pairs of shoes and carrying off
Martin Myers overcoat and a
rain coat. Martin clerks for the
firm, He feels a little chilly these
mornings, since the thief did not
leave him one of the coats at least.
The robber has not been appre-
hended.

| notice that a school teacher
out north of Centralia is in trouble
because she licked one of the pu
pills. Half the difficulties between
teacher and pupils in the rural
schools could be avoided if direc-
tors and teacher would meet and
confer together at regular inter
walls, as the practice is in the town
and city schools. Troubles could
be talked over and many wrongs
righted.

SOME OLD HUNTERS.
They Killed off Our Wild Game
and Now We Have None.

Up to 1850 the eastern part OF
Audrain county and the south.
west part of Rails was considered
paradise for hunters. A hunter
seems to like to kill just to be kill.
ing. He has never learned the les
son from COwper, Il would not
needlessly set my foot upon a
worm. "
Deer, turkeys and wolves were
quite plentiful up to 1850 in the
territory mentioned above. II
the latter part of that year q
company of hunters from Lexing
ton, Ky, camped on Lick Creel;
near the dividing line of Audrair
and Rails, just south of where
now stand the little village OF
Hutcherson. They slaughtered
100 deer and killed turkeys by the
wagOn-load. After they left game
was rather scarce, so said the
local hunters, Abner Smith, james
Allison and Tom Grimes.
Abner Smith lived on Spencer
Creek, over north of Vandalia, al
that time, in the 40's. He after.
wards improved the Luther Moss
farm, six miles north of Laddonia
Abner used to say that, in those
times, when one came in from &
hunt the question was how many
deer did you kill, not how many
Mexico Missouri message., 1913-12-11

you saw. One day Smith killed II
deer. He hung them up on trees
out of reach of the wolves. When
night came on he was tired and
hungry and bloody and sat down
on log to rest. Soon wolf
raised howl near him. 1t was
answered by one in another direc-
tion and sooIf wolves were howl
ing all about him and drawing
near him. He waited till the packs
came in sight, and as close as was
at all agreeable, when he fred his
gun and gave a great yell; there
were no more howls from the
wolves. A wolf is a cowardly
creature.
The last heard of Abner Smith
he was in the State of Alabama,
but we suppose he has passed to
other happy hunting grounds long
ere this. Jim Allison, his neigh
Dor, died i'll the Union army and
Tom Grimes, who was the first set
tier on the Il. A. Lewton farm, on
| Middle Lick Creek, we suppose he
too has passed on to that bourne
from whence no Traveller returns.
These three men were great hunt
ers. Very few now living who re-
member their exploits. In this
connection we can only recall Bob
Menefee, John Abbay and w. II.
Beal of Mexico, Field Akridge
and Nick Smith of Laddonia, Tom
Smith of Santa Fe and Jim Moore
of Rails county.

His Meeting,

81 b
Victor Murdocks meeting at the

-tised as a Progressive one, turned
itself largely into lone of Democratic
attendance as result Of the diligent
and begging efforts of several Dem
ocrats in having DEMOCRATS to. go to
the meeting in order to swell the
crowd. The room was. not then
comfortably filled.
Congressman MuEdoek proved
quite pleasing speaker, but he
hammered both the old parties to
his complete satisfactionS He ex-
posed the secret caucus methods of
the presenG Democratic congfess and
charged Wall Street, with control of
the Congress.
The speaker extoiled the efforts OF
the Progressiyes in Congress- and
talked much alDut his own deeds
He made it quite uncomfortable for
those Democrats who drummed up
an attendance for Him, and he, also
stepped on Rephblitan toes.
