Coweta is a new feed now on
the market, containing cottonseed
meal and other fattening elements
and is said to be' . wonderfully
cheap compared with corn, bran
or concentrates. Cottonseed jneal
is bringing the highest prices ever
known,' linseed meal is ti most ex
pensive proposition, sorn is high
and comparatively scarce, and it
might be well for Audrain county
feeders to investigate Coweta if
they wish to save on their feed
bills. 1 '
LADDONIA KOEN KARNIVAL,
List of Awards Notes and Other
Mentions.
Laddonia did herself proud last
week during her three days
Koi n, Karnival. The weather was
id.-nl thruout, except within about
three hours of the close on the
Inst day a heavy' wind cloud with
rain and hail came up and torn
down some of the tents, injuring
slightly some of the needle work
displays. There was nothing else
to mar.
C. A. Smith, the president, was
here and there and everywhere.
to see that things went right.
while Dr. Rex Hancock, the care
ful and .efficient secretary, worked
from morn till night to help ia
his line of the work. The citizens
of the town and whole surround
ing section of country took great
interest in the Karnival. Some of
the displays, notably the fruits
and corn, were the best we ever
saw grown on the soil of Missouri.
The town was beautifully light
ed up by eleetrricly at night and
the whole little city was in her
best holiday attire. '

teresting : 1

GREAT CORN 8H0W.
J. C. Beasley Winner Against 214
Exhibit.
The Ferris & Cauthorn Corn
Show last week proved one of the
most interesting and attractive
things ever held in Mexico.
There were 214 exhibits and
among them there were samples
of corn, many thought, that would
equal or excel anything shown
at either the Missouri State Fair
or the State Fair at Springfield,
111.
Prof. A. II. Demaree, c
the
College of Agriculture of
State University, judged
t'.
samples of corn. J. C. Beasley, of
near Benton City, had the finest
corn of the 214 sarfiples on dis
play. He geta the J. I. Case corn
planter. Arthur Irick, north of
Mexico, had second best; Fred
Cordner, of Auxvasse, was third,
and Frank Cordm, fourth.
Mr. Beasley 's corn was the
Boone Connty White. He says he
is going to change the name of it
' Beasley 's Pride." The sam
ples he showed here, and which
won the blue ribbon, were from
corn grown from the pick of 18
bushels last spring. Mr. Beastey
thinks you can better breed your
corn up than dawn if you will !!);
areful in selecting your5 seed.
Fourteen ears of the best sam
ples on display were selected and
scored.
Prof. Demaree delivered a lec
ture Saturday afternoon, listened
to by a large crowd over Ferris
& Cauthorn 's store, and the fol
lowing weire some of his observa
tions: :,
Just simply the fact that corn
might be a prize winner in a show
does not necessarily recommend
it as the very best corn to grow,
In all our shows we aim to pieit
that corn which is the best seed
corn combined with he best of
appearances. In cases where the
corn is lacking seriously in vital
ity or is lacking in breed type, the
sample is not considered and con
sequently fails to win.
There have been great numbers
of corn shows held over this and
neighboring States within the last
few years and it has been fount
that where interest has been taken
in such shows there has been
decided increase in the yield of
corn. This comes from the fact
that by the use of the score card
and the principles embodied in it
the very best of corn is secured;
that is to say, the samples that
win are those that have tho most
corn on. The whole score card is
fitted to pick out those ears which
will shell the highest per cent of
corn en cob.
It can easily be seen that if all
of those ears which are imperfect
could have been filled out with
good corn the increase in yield
would have been eonsiderabl
Aside from that, the score card
'tit t i
picas inoso ears ana samples
which have the most perfect
grains and the best germ.

KILLED IN MINE.
Laddonia Young Man Falls to HU
Death in Shaft. v
Albert Theodore Akridge, 22
years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Akridge of Laddonia, was
killed last Wednesday afternoon
by a fall in a shaft where Bob
Ferris is prospecting for coal on
the old Luther Moss tract of land
in south Laddonia. The shaft was
about 00 feet deep.
A blast had been set off about
three o'clock in the afternoo.i
and two hours later young Ak
ridge went down to see about
proceeding with the work. It is
supposed that tho gas and smoke
!iad not yet all gotten out. He
soon signaled to be drawn up.
When within about 20 feet of the
top the horse stopped, as it al
ways did when anything went
wrong with the basket, and it is
supposed that then the boy fell
out, about 40 feet, while so near
the top and safety. His brother,
Giller, in his excitement under
took, to go down after him and
came near losing his life also.
Theodore was a harmless, in
offensive boy and we are pained
to hear of his sudden taking away.
The funeral was preached Friday
at the home by Rev. II. B. Rice.
Among the Old Boys.
J. B. Ferguson, of the Herald,
Lock Springs, Mo., was in Mexieo
last Saturday and made the Mes
sage a pleasant call. He was a
citizen of Mexico years ago and
set type on the Intelligencer when
it was owned by John W. Ja-ks
and J. F. Hutton. His aunt, Mrs
Naney O. Stone, who died recently
in MaysviJle, Ky., an account of
which appeared in the Message
at the time, was the first white
woman who ever lived in Mexieo.
At her death she was near 100
years of age. She was a relative
of Mrs. J. D. Inlow, now living at
Pomona, Cali.
Mr. Ferguson was able to find
only three persons here whom m
used to know, Wick Mason, Dock
Graham and Mark Pilcher; Al
Bodine, the colored barber, should
also be included in this list. He
remembers E. D. Graham when he
was a member of a cornet ba.id
here in 1862. Graham was the
best looking fellow in the bunch
By the way, Mexico could afford
a luxury then she can not afford
now in a cornet band.
Mr. Ferguson well remembers
many of our old citizens who have
been called to the world beyond
among them: Ben Johnson, Ben
Cauthorn, J. D. Morris, Ben Dob
yns, and others. He remembers
the spot in Mexico, where Gen
U. S. Grant was camped during
the Civil War. Ferguson is on
of the old type of citizenship and
is an interesting fellow to meet
Mr. Dugan Dead.
Mr. Michael Dugan, 80 years o
age, died in a hospital in. St. Louis
last Sunday of blood poirfoning
Some weeks ago he became a suf
ferer from an ingrown toenail
The whole foot became diseased
and about two weeks since his lei;
was amputated below the knee.
His suffering lead to his death.
Deceased is survived by four
children, as follows: Wm. Pugan,
of St. Louis; Miss Hannah Dugan
and Mrs. Hoberty, of Kansa City,
and Mrs. J. R. Gilgore of this
county.
The Laddonia Herald says that
J.-N. Trexell of near Wellsville
has bought the Wm. McKinley
furm of 160 acres, 1 mile north of
Laddonia, at $62.50 per acre. He
will move to it soon.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.
A Historical Society for Audrain
County.
Mexico, Mo., Oct. 9, 1909.
Mr. Editor:
In his address at Laddonia last
Thursday, the 7th hist., our dis
tinguished and much loved repre
sentee in Congress, Hon. Champ
Clark, struck a responsive chord
which has been ringing in my
ears for a number of months. Mr.
Clark suggests the organization
of a Historical Society in each
county in the State. This is good
and should be carried out. But
having spent nearly twenty years
of my life in old Audrain, I am
of course more interested in the
history and the preservation of
the history of this county, and
for a number of months have been
wanting to respectfully suggest
o history and reminiscence lovers
this county, through the
courtesy of the county press, the
advisability and desirability of
organizing and incorporating a
permanent body for the purpose
f chronicling and preserving the
past and current history of Au-
Iraiu county. This could be done
by papers prepared on the vari
ous topics by the members of the
society and read at the meetings.
say annually or gem-annually, and
thus a very pleasant tjme be en
joyed by the members, while do-
ng a valuable service to the cause
of history and future generations
n this great county and state.
These prepared papers would of
ourse be recorded in the perma
ueut record of the society.
Who is not interested in tin?
sturdy old pioneers who received
this land from Uncle Sam, con
quered the wilderness and brought
it into civilized form? Shall their
names, their heroism, their his
tory, sink into oblivion and b
lost through the carelessness of
an unappreciated and ungrateful
posterity?
Audrain has produced and
claimed many good and great
men and women, whose works
live, and will continue to live af
ter them. Shall their records and
history perish by reason of in
difference or shall it be preserved
in an intelligent form?
The history of old families of
the county, particular individuals
of note, officers of the county, or
ganization of the towns, enter
prises and achievements of men
and womeu of the county, would
all make interesting reading.
With a membership that th"
society ought to have the payment
of a pittance from all would with
our advanced art of printing, en
able the society to print its work
in a series of volumes for the bene
fit of its members.
Such an organization should be
entirely void of any narrow or
sectional spirit, and its member
ship should ' be composed of in
terested citizens from every por
tion of the county.
Ladies should be eligible to
membership as well as men.
It is a well known fact, Mr.
Editor, that newspapers usually
take the lead in matters of general
interest. I feel certain that the
discussion of such an organiza
tion in your paper both editorially
and from correspondents, would
be of interest, and it is much
hoped that a goodly number of
Audrain county people will meet
and organize. If not asking tot
much of the reader will you not.
if interested, express yourself by
postal card or otherwise to a
county newspaper man who will
doubtless be glad to publish
the interview or general sentiment
and tiny; aid in establishing such
an organization in our county?
Very respectfully,
, ' II. P. Warden.

hood. "The New Preacher."
The Rev. II. I. Cobb was recent
ly returned to the Mexieo Cir
cuit of the M. E. Church, South,
by the annual conference at Sa
vannah, whereupon the above pic
ture, with the words in quotation
below it. was printed in the "Cir
cuit Rider."' published by the said
Rev. Cobb. It is Br.). Cobb's thirl
year on this work; he is the new
preacher all right, and the old one
too. lie preaches at Littleby. north
east of Mexico; Bethel, in the
Champ neighborhood; at Bethle
hem. 12 miles northwest of Mex
ieo, and at Trinity, five miles
northwest of Mexico.
He is a very p pular fellow ami
the brethren were very happy to
have "the new preacher" return
ed. They showed their apprecia
tion in a substantial way just
last week. On Thursday a bright
new buggy, of the YVlie Carriage
Co. make of Moline. 111., 'was deliv
ered at tiro. 'ohi) s Home as :i
present from his parishioners, a
complete surprise to tho preacher.
Ferris & Cauthorn say it was
paid for and that is all the brother

He is "The New Preacher"
worth while.
