SEAT THE CHAPEL.
Every Citizen of Mexico
Should Buy Chairs.
C.. III. HARDIN'S
HAPPY SUGGESTION
TO BE ACTED
UPON.
All Public Spirited Citizens Will
Avail Themselves of this
Opportunity.

It will take about $4,000 to seat
Hardin College chapel as it should
be seated. Five hundred and fifty
chairs at 81 each have been con-
trac.ed for 10 be used in the seat
ing of the fist floor. Ex-Gov. G.
H. Hardin on Wednesday night
made a happy suggestion when he
said the heads of families in Mex
leo could pay for as many seats as
there were members IN the family.
Let's act ON this suggestion.
Let's seat the chapel as i. should
be seated.
Surely we have public spirited
citizens enough who appreciate
this institution to promptly seat
the chapel as suggested.
Let every young man in Mexico
pay for a seat and one for his girl.
Let every head OF a family pay
for as many seats as he has men,
bers of his family.
The seats will only cost 81 each.
Now Is the time to act.
This can be done and gotten out
Of the way between two nights.
The matter has not, as yet, been
canvassed, but all with whom the
LEDGER has talked are in favor of
the move.
L. B. Ely, of Carrollton, Mo. .,
says: Put me down for 13 seats.
Hon. W. H. Kennan says: Twill
pay for six seats.
Prof. VIM. Treioar says: Put
me down for five seats.
There are three members in the
family of the editor Of the LEDGER.
He will pay for three and wishes
he could be drawn On for more.
A. G. Turner takes two, ETC., etc
The above have volunteered
without being seen and we have
heard of score of others whose
names will be handed in as soon as
they get chance.
Open up your hearts at once
and let the subscriptions be taken
up at once.
Send your name to the LEDGER
and tell US how many chairs you
will pay for.
You owe it to yourself; you owe
it to Mexico; you owe it to Hardin
College and its founder, to take
hold of this matter promptly and
literally.

Two Bob " hltes.

From the Richml ,nserya tor.
Rev. Bob White, formerly editor of
the Mexico LEDGER, is travelling over
the State dedicating churches.-St.
Joseph Neacs.
In justice to two mighty fine
men who bear the same name, the
Conseryator desires to CORE ct a
mistake in the above item. Rev.
Bob White, who is dedlcating
churches, never was and probably
never will be connected with the
Mexico LEDGER in an editorial
capacity. He Is an Australian by
birth, a Methodist minister by
choice, and a gentleman by inclln-
alton. Bob White-the only Bob
has engineered the Mexico LED
GER for the past twenty years, and
while he has never dedicated any
churches he is christian and has
worn corns on his knees by being
constantly on them implorlng the
Deity to be rnerciful to the people
of Mexico wno do not think that
the greatest town in America.
Rev. Bob White and Bob White,
of the LEDGER, are two different
persons, and each is doing noble
work in his chosen profession.
