Friends who wish to see THE LEDGER
full of live and interesting news can help
us greatly by telling us the happenings
in their neighborhood, or drop us pos
tai. In this way we would be able to
give all the happenings and thereby make
a live, interesting paper. 1t is our en-
deavor to make this paper a necessity in
every household.

up stoves is at hand, and many man

the same day the house of Mrs. Egnor,
close by, was robbed of $40, which was

placed the money in her pocket and went
to neighbors to have a chat when the
robbery was committed. Some people

their cash, leave it lying around loose.
