The Ledger is determined to be the best County paper in the State. We are
catching up with lost times as fast as we can, and the next year will see great
improvements in the county paper. We have had nearly six months of con
fusion and changing, on account of building and on account of sickiness, and
we are just beginning to make up for lost time. The Ledger will grow to keep
pace with Granville,

All papers are finding this step necessary, and are not carrying any subscrip

Our expenses have nearly doubled in the past two years; we have put twice the
capital in the plant, we are giving considerably more news; and now for thirty
days we are allowing you to pay back subscriptions upon basis of $1.00 per
year, and are allowing new subscribers to take the paper upon the same basis.
This is why we are going on the cash in advance system. Besides, who needs
credit for the small sum of $1 or $1.25. Now, please read this advertisement

How I picked a lemon in the garden

Where pesches only grow.
Wha.. a man wants in a woman is
something as follows:
She must be a dream of beauty
that will make Maxine Elliott faint
and Cavalieri fade away.
She must be an angel with the
smile of a seraph and a great mass
of magnificent hair, and all her
! own natural.
She imist possess a perfect tem
per and never raise her voice save
in ong.
She must be a good cook and al
ways ready to do same.
She must be a splendid housekeep
er and not require any servants.
She must love children and be able
to care for them and raise them by
hand.
She must be a fine musician and
have a mind stored with all the in
tellectual wealth of the ages, but
she must never get the idea that
hubby hasn't the superior intellect
and doesn't know it all.
She must dress in the latest fash
ion, but must spend no money for
clothes.
She must be interesting, elusive,
gay, of a deep religious nature, live
ly, modest, retiring, brilliant, fasci
nating, but a lover of home and fire
side, preferring the society of her
husband to anything else on earth,
but not worrying when she does not
getany"of it.
That is all that most men require.
It is little enough, goodness knows
jiBut even then you may not always
get a woman that exactly fills ths
specifications. Some of them have
their faults, and even in the center
of the Garden of Love a man must
be particular.

I have on my desk a list of 1,000
successful men of this nation. By
"successful" I do not mean mere
money makers, but men who have
given us new conceptions of steaim,
electricity, construction work, edu
cation, art, etc. These are themen
who influence our moral as well as
physical lives. They construct for

Farmers are very slow about under
taking any new method. They are ac
customed to doing things in a cer

adopted not for any good reason,but
simply because it is the easiest. For
farmers like all others, move in the
line of least resistance.
Some farmers, however, have
