SOME indication Of the extent to
which business has suffered from fall
ing prices and stagnation in the last
nine months, and also of the fact that
readjustment still may have some dis
lance to go, is contained in the record
of failures of recent months. Stat

Writes OF
Changes Here


The following interesting letter
from j. N. Cross, formerly Of this
city, will be read with interest by his
many friends here.
Reyes, California.
April II, 1921.
Editor Ledger,
Dear Bob:-
Today, as l opened the Ledger /
said, Il wonder what old friends have
passed since the last copy of the Led
ger came to u.s." We welcome each
issue and it is a source of much sat-
isfaction, but we know we must ex-
pect a pang Of sorrow as well. Two
old associates and dear friends are
noted among those who have passed
on: D. c. Hatton and Jim Rosser.
They have fought the good fight and
no more shall appear in earthly coun-
ellis. Mrs. Warren Harper, also, l
knew quite well, a good woman. Also,
/ was well acquainted with ]. M
Burhop. Two splendid men, old
friends of mine, William Richie and
CLARK Barnes have also passed away.
| visited them when / was in Mexico,
December, 1919, and was greatly
shocked by notices of their deaths.
One balmy spring evening at the
closing of the court house offices, a
little crowded. us gathered onthe north
steps of the court house and spent an
hour OF joking and chatting. I
am not sure if you were there, Bob,
but ! know that besides myself these
were present: Dick Hopkins, Henry
Edmonds, John Atchison, Wick Mason,
and Champ Clark. / do not recall the
presence of any others. Look at the
list. How we mis-, them.
l closely scan the lists of names of
every issue Of the Ledger: juries,
road ov~erseers, committees, conven-
tions, entertainments, subscription
lists, ETC., to catch a name that brings

SUNDAY SCHOOL
BREAKS RECORD
IN ATTENDANCE

Sundays reports show that the
Methodist Sunday School is leading
the Fourth Street School Of Moberly
by several points in the contest
among Central Missouri Schools
Interest is also growing in the con-
test between the mems class here and
in Fulton, as the local men are 81
points behind the Fulton class at pres
ent. Mr.. Lester Miller, the superin-
tendent, is urging all Methodists to
attend so that they car come out on
top.
Sundays figures showed that the
attendance in Mexico was ABA, and the
offering $29.31, which surpasses all
previous Sunday school records.
There wer 1O3 present in the mems
ass and their offering was $14. This
is a splendid showing for the local
school was $14. This is a splendid
howing for the local school and both
Rev. Cowart and Mr.. Miller deserve,
much credit TO rte efforts, they are
putting forth.

to mind some familiar face Grad
ually the line is shortening, but still
] find many names of old friends, and
pupils Of former days. Many of those
little tots as / knew them now the
fads Of large families. 1 would
Ike to be them a while and see if
they still retain the characteristics of
former days. Many Of the light
hearted, laughing, roIlicking ones Of
those days, have no doubt grown SER
ious and ~austere. l wonder if 1 would
enjoy their association now as much
as / once did.
Two of those Riddles came by to
see US the other day, don't you know
Mr.. and Mrs. Latney Barnes of Amar-
lilo, Texas. They could stay but a
little while, but it certainly made life
a little brighter to meet them once
again. They were on their way to
Modesto, Stockton, and San Fran
cisco.
Bob, ! see my article is running too
much to words, and l haven's told
half of what l would like to tell.
see ] will have to skip Politics, Wealth
err, Crops, World Disturbances, Etc.
Only this, the storms that you had
recently were the mes we sent on
East. Here they were in the form of
unusually high winds, thunder and
lightning, little rain and killing frosts.
The grape crop was badly hurt and
melons and ca~ntaloupe vines mostly
killed. I had five acres of cantaloupes
and ten acres of watermelons, 800
to 900 killed. They will come from
replanting, but l lose heavily from
missing the early markets. Often the
later markets will not pay the ex-
pense or harvesting. 9

Ledger's Grandfather Tale Eclipsed.

Ledger's Grandfather Tale EcIipsed.
A shorttime ago, the Ledger pub
lished a great grandfather story. 1t
was a great story about a great
grandfather, who had twenty three
great Grandchildren. Now the Gen.
tralia Courier comes to print with a
greater grandfather story and chal-
leog&s As to find one setter.
There are not only men with such
q record but in Centralia, the Queen
of the Prairies, resides one who
eclipses it. His name in Mathew Nc
Graw and he opines in his modest,
loyal way that it is pretty hard to get
ahead of Centralia and Boone County.
Mr.. McGraw was born in Ohio, grew.
to young manhood in Kentucky and
at the age Of 81 years moved to
Schuyler County Illinois, where he
lived for thirty years. At the age of
81 he came to Missouri and has re-
sided in and near Centralia for the
past thirty years, which makes him
up around his 87th mile post of life.
He has been married but once, Mrs.
McGraw passing into the realm be-
yond thirteen years ago. He is the
father of fourteen children, twelve of
whom are living,h has forty-eight grand
children; SO great-grand-children and
one great-grand child who is married.
His oldest g~reat-grand child, Miss Lii
liam Filser, who will be a graduate of
the Centralia High School this year
and who is keeping house for her
grandfather, is 10 years old, while
his youngest great-grand- child. Lloyd
Edward Sellers, south of town, is
about ten days of age and Nh. Nc
Graw is very anxious now for the
weather and roads to permit his go
ing out to see the youngster. Uncle
Mat" as he is Familiarity called by his
friends is hale and hearty for a manof
his age and takes an active interest in
all of his big family"s welfare"

Galloway Negro is 121 Years Old.

John johnson ,colored, is living on
his farm of 100 acres north of Viii
liamsburg and his mind is as clear
as it was when he was brought to
Galloway County in 1885 by his
owner, Joseph Everheart. He is now
121 years old and it is believed has
evidence and papers which substan-
tiate the claim that he was born in
1899. For the last rs years he has
been totally blind and now sees only
through the eyes Of his son who lives
with him.

MISS Ruth Taylor, who has been
city editor of the Ledger for several
months, departed Friday for her home
in West Plains where she will visit a
short time before sailing for Manila,
P. l., where she will teach Journalism
in the University of the Philippines.
Miss Taylor is a splendid and talented
young woman. Since coming to Mex
leo she has made many friends who
will join the Ledger in regretting to
see her depart and wishing her much
success and happiness in her new pos
ition. The Ledger is proud of the
fact that so many who have served
with us as City Editros have left this
office to accept positions in the field
of Journalism that were open only to
the most capable and efficient. W. G..
Hutton, a former city editor of the
Ledger, now editor of the Weekly st.
Louis Globe Democrat, has suggested
that we organize an association Of
former Ledger City Editors. If we
do this the list will include many prom
inent and distinguished men and

ahead of the train for some time, ap-
iparently unaware that it was near
and did not try to stop until it "a
