Last weeks LEDGER stated that the
Cornellan Society would meet on The
afternoon of April I'd. Wonder
where it got its information?- d
in Mexico htelligencer.
Guess we got it out of the Inte2t
gencer, as that paper, we see by exam
lining the files, made the same state
ment. The LEDGER very often makes
errors; perhaps not oftener than it,
critical cotemporary. 1t should HI
sure it is right itself before finding
fault with us.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1886-04-08
An Error,

We see the following going the
rounds Of the press:
Hundreds of acres of ground in
Andrain county will be idle this year.
People intended to rent but can't do
it. Land that last year was let for
50 per acre this year can scarcely he
let for 50. Rent has been too high
and real estate has been held too
high also.
We do not know how the above
originated, but from what we can
earn by close investigation it is an
error. Audrain land is always in de-
mand. There is no better farming
land in the west and it Will never &c
begging for renters or buyers.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1886-04-08
Clean Up.

As the weather is settling down to
ue more like spring, we would sug-
gest that the city authorities see to it
that old rubbish be removed from
the alleys, around barns and out-of-
the-way places. Nothing adds more
to the beauty and healthfulness of a
town than for the thoroughfares to
be in good order, and everything that
is productive of stencil removed
Such timely sanitary measures may
prevent much sickness as the season
advances
