Newspaper rumors are becoming so
prevalent in this city that they make us
dizzy to attempt to keep track of them.
Nearly every fellow who has ever had q
chance to write few lines for a paper
imagines that he knows all about how to
run a journal, and is itching to get a
chance to show how the thing is done.
And of the whole lot, even including the
fellows who make a special study of
economic questi ons," there is not one
who has a definite idea of what goes to
make up the expenses of conducting a
newspaper Office. It is hard matter to
convince some men that there is very
little money in the business, and that the
cost of each paper year is more than is
paid by the reader as his annual SUBJ
scription. But such is the fact, and if
the News or paper of its size, were to
attempt to run on the money received
from subscrih0fs it would have to sus-
pend before gqtting out its first number.
Still we like to see new men embark in
the business, as they great deal more
after they have "blown in" few hundred
dollars than when they are theorizing
the matter.-Ness City Nesvs.

Exercising the rights given to them

OF Trego county have placed ticket in

against them. They, of course, have no
hope of electing any Of their candidates,

intended to before the announcement OF

Join NJ. POLLARD, the ieweler,
and G.. l.. Ferris, the hardware
man, assisted the LEDGER in en-
c~ourasing the school children of Au-
drain county in their love and de-
votion TO their teachers. 1t was a
beautiful sight to see little toddlers
calling at the LEDGER office this
morning in swarms to vote for their
favorite teacher. Mr.. Pollard con-
tributed a beautiful ring as second
prize in the contest, while Mr.. Fer
ris presented an elegant lamp to the
third in the contest. We regret that
we cannot make a present to every
teacher in the contest or out of the
contest, for that matter, in Audrain
county. The school teachers in Au-
drain county are in a position to do
more toward the enlightenment and
proper preparation for active life OF
the school children than any other
class. The schools of this county
have a Statewide reputation and
our teachers deserve nothing less.
