THE LEDGER Rooms!
Our New Building Removal
at Once-Here to Stay.

Three years ago this week we took
editorial charge of the Mexico LED
GER. The LEDGER was not in a very
prosperous condition, and a great
many of our friends trembled for our
success. There were not very many
staunch names on her books, and ii
was a venture to take her helm, es-
pecially as we were young and with
out experience. To day we have
double the circulation of any paper
in the county, and each day brings us
new readers. The LEDGER is now per-
manently established-will be issued
until Gabriel blows his horn.
To-day we move into our new
building. Realizing the great step
forward that Mexico is experiencing,
and not wishing to be found in the
rear ranks, we have purchased, for
So, 800 cash. the corner brick building,
on the northwest corner ofthe square,
row occupied by the post office. Our

our editorial, composing and job
rooms will be i'll the second stOry,and
the postoffice will remain where it is
as long as George Poteet is postmas-
ter, which will be a good while. An
elevator will connect our composing
room with u press room, and by
this means our forms can be sent to
the press room without the trouble OF
running up and down stairs. We
have now a building of our own, and
cannot be moved around at the mercy
of landlords. We invite all our pa
irons and friends to call and see us
when we get moved, and have every
thing fixed up.
In this connection we will say that
our facilities for job printing are not
surpassed by any office in this part OF
the state. We are constantly receiV-

styles of printing material, and we
use none but the very best quality OF

Last Saturday the editors of the
Daily Herald could be seen running
around town, accosting different citi-
zens in the following manner:
Say, don't fail to read the Herald
to morrow; we are going to annihi-
late Bob White. Several fellows
have tried 1t, but never succeeded.
We are going to literally cruelty
him."
At least forty of our citizens were
warned in this way to read the Herald.
When Sunday morning came, of
course quite a number Of people ca
gerly looked in to the Herald to find
our obituary. We guess the editors( y
of that paper had worn them
selves out the day previous. r%anting
around about what they we're going to
do, for all that could be found in the
Herald was q notice to the people to
read the LEDGER if they wanted to
blush. Gentlemen, after you have
been in the newspaper business a few
weeks you will learn not TO spell con-
stltution with a ''k," nor God with
a little ''g," and never to kick against

1t is an encouraging sign that
Communism is becoming thoroughly
disreputable in American cities and
that all s'red-fag'' societies hasten TO
disavow all Communistic purposes.
Such a plant as Communism has no
business on American soil, and when
1t appears it should be rooted out
like a pestiferous weed. The Ameri-
can people are very tolerant and pa
tent with all forms OF opinion, but
just as soon as they understand that
Communism means disorder and in
vasion of private right they will put
their foot down on it very decidedly.
So long as it confines itself to loud
mouthed debate in smoke-beclouded
halls and the adoption of threatening
resolutions no one will interfere with
it, but if it threatens public order a
more summary and impressive course
will be necessary.
