WILL TEST LIGHTS ON
MEXICO TOWN CLOCK

A large shaded incandescent cleo
trio light was placed in front Of one Of
the four faces Of the town clock,
which surmounts the Audrain County
Court House, in this city, Monday.
The purpose is to see whether it will
light the clock sufficiently for the pub
lie TO tell the time after dark. If the
experiment proves a success, similar
lights will be used on the three re-
naming faces.
For a number of years the Ledger
has advocated this improvement. II
all live cities the size of Mexico
where such a public servant as !
town clock is in use such an arrange.
ment has been made. The clock, If i
is of any benefit during the day
should be Of just as great use a

Chas. Squires, who is doing tn
work, says a time switch will be in
stalled so the lights will automati
cally go on and off at the prope

Be Il, Resolved, That we, as renre-
sentatives Of the Republican party,
do hereby extend our sympathy to his
family. friends, associates and fellow
citizens in their great loss. We de-
plore the loss Of his unselfsh and high
minded party counsel. His always IN

able TO his party associates. His in
fiuenee was none the less compelling
because exerted in a mild and unob-

To know him and be associated with
him was a pure guarantee to love
him. His loyalty to his friends ard
party endeared him to all and at the

of those differing from him. In his
death society has lost a valuable mem

Be II Further Resolved, That :
