There Is no truth in the statement
that the LEADER will cease morning
publication. During the past twelve
years we have seen several papers In
Cheyenne, much better than the Horn

soon all over with them.
The postmaster general has ordered
the discontinuance of the postofice at

session Of the postofice property there.
Remember the lecture at the Metho-
dist Episcopal church on Friday even
ing, April 25th. The lecture is both
amusing and instructive, and the object
is ~praiseworthy. The price Of admis-
sion Is so low that every one should at
tend. The effort of the ladies to build
a new parsonage should be encouraged.
The lecture Is worth ten times the ad-
mission fee.
The country editor of the Laramie
City Times feels aggrieved because we
alluded to his lunacy. He ought not to
allow his feelings to become lacerated
by what was said In the LEADER. God
has failed to endow him with that
quantity Of brains usually bestowed
upon mortals, and 1t was cruel for us to
allude to the deficiency. 1t is his mis-
fortune rather than q fault.
