WHAT OUR FRIENDS ARE SAYING.
They Are showing Their Appreciation OF
the Leader by Word and Act
The highest tribute ever paid the
LEADER has been awarded by the
friends of reform since it announced
three weeks ago that 1t might have to
suspend at an early date If not more
literally sustained. Such is the faith
and the earnestness of the people for
the success of reform, and such their
appreciation of paper that cham
pions, without fear or favor, the cause
of truth and right, that in the face of
that announcement, which many re-
garded as "bad business sense" the
subscription list of the LEADER has in
creased three times faster since that
time than during any equal period in
the existence Of the paper.

people must have the LEADER for the

| MECHANICS OPINION.
A Meridian mechanic, who does not
want his name given, says: II would
consider it terrible blow to the cause
of morality and right and a serious re-
Election on the Christian sentiment of
the State, and disaster far reaching
in its effect for the LEADER. to fail
Though am mechanic, working my
10 hours day, rather than see such a
reproach heaped upon the Christian
sentiment of the State, would be one
OF 100 persons to subscribe $1,000 each
to sustain the LEADER in it's defense of
morality and good government, or one
of so to give $1,000 or $500 each.
