Christmas.

No other day is so generally OBJ
served among the nations as Christ
mas. All its honor comes of its be-
ing the anniversary of the birth of
Christ. Amid the festivities all are
prone to forget Him for whose honor
the day was established. But though
the Savior may be overlooked, few are
altogether insensible to the day. In
most hearts II is connected with deeds
of love and kindness. The advent
Of Christ was a mission of mercy
far exceeding that ever derived
by mankind from any Other source.
Through His examples and influence
many have been led TO the pearly
gates. TO
Who then can be insensible to the
return of Christmas? La there q lit

net wish that Christmas would last
throughout the yeari TO the more

We judge from the Mexico LEDGER
of the 4th, that the Columbia play of
"Etalee," drsmatized from Miss l..
Hume's novel, and presented at Mex
leo on the End, is too thin for Christ's
sake. And right here "us" journalists
come in for censure. How? A few
advance leaves of a new book by a
young authoress are sent to publish
ers. The authoress is personally
known to some of those editors, and
before all she comes as q young and
untried girl. Perhaps the few adj
vance leaves ere net ever glsaesa
over, but q complimentary notice is
put in the paper and a marked copy
mailed Shy request" In this case
a worse play grows from q mistaken
idea of a book. The young authoress
was fattered into the belief that her
book was perfect-and dramatized, it
would amaze the world. And-iG
falls fiat. All of us helped to delude
the poor girl in this case, just because
of the cussings we were sure to get
il a reasonable criticism Of the book
were given. It was q poor young
girls book-we knew her--had taken
hash regularly as a boarder with her
family-we must overlook the defects
of a young and before untried au.
thoress. Well, we'll overlook them
yet-but we sell better reading for
wrapping paper than can be found in
some books we have seen.-Clarks-

THE LEDGER FOR 1880.

Nothing succeeds like success.
We have had charge of the LEDeER
three years and three months. Dur
ing that time our subscription list has
increased by over 500 substantial
names. We now have as our read
ers the best citizens Of this county.
The LEDGER finds its way to nearly
every fireside in the county.
During tae time we have had
charge of the LEDGER the city OF
Mexico and the county of Audrain
have improved in every way. We
trust the LEDGER has always done all
she could to keep the boom going.
We are sure the paper has not fallen
behind in the forward movement.
We have improved the paper in
many and essential particulars. We
have purchased a new and commodi-
Gus building, have purchased from
time to time all the latest styles of
types snd presses, and we are sure
no paper in the State is in a more
1ourishing condition.
The LEDGER is only on the thresh-
old Of its usefulness. With the sup
port and encouragement we are daily
receiving we expect to make the
LEDGER not only the best paper in
this county, but the organ of this
part of the State.
Mexico is now a city and should
have a paper which will be al index
of her prosperity and enterprise.
This the LEDGER shall be.
What VIC promised eur readers in
the past they know how well we have
succeeded in doing. The future will
speak for itself. Eighteen hundred
and eighty will be an eventful year,
especially in politics. The LEDGER
will be, as ever, a newspaper. We
shall publish the news fearlessly, ia
vorabie Or unfavorable, without feal
or favor. Any one not wishing te
read the news should not read the
LEDGER. We find that news is what
the people want, and it is what they
shall have.
We have now one of the most
healthy calculations of any country
newspaper in the Stste-never issuing
less than 1,100-and still there are
many others in this county who should
take a paper.
The LEDGER is now only $3.50 pei
year-a small advance on what the
white paper costs. 1t is within the
reach Of all, and we trust before the
campaign opens next summer 70 add
yet hundreds of names to our nov
large list. If you don't like oul
paper, don't take it. Don't take q
paper and quarrel all the year about
not liking it. We don't beg for pat.
ronsge. II you dop'tthink the paper
worthy of your patronage, leave il
alone.
Next week the new year opens,
Trusting all our old friends will come
promptly forward and renew, and
that many new names will be put Oh
our list of friends, we wish you
one and all, a merry Xmas and {
happy new year. May our connec
tons always be as pleasant with yor
in the future as they have been in tht
past. W. have nothing to complain
of and much to be thankful for.
