The Evening Ledger today contains
the following article:
The Evening Ledger has sold its en-
tire plant and circulation TO the Even
ing Sun, and commencing ON Monday
all persons who have been subscribers
TO The Evening Ledger will receive
The sun Instead.
The Evening Ledger mas been an i'm
portant factor in this city during the
past seven or eight months and has
built up circulation second to none
in the city, aud now that The Evening
Sun has purchased tho entire equip
ment il goes to prove 60 the advortis-
ing public that The Evening sun will
have the largest circulation Of any
newspaper in the city.
The Evening Ledger has endeared
itself to the people Of this city by the
fearless and able manner in which IL
has handled the news and is selling
the complete plant TO The Evening
Sun, because The Evening Ledger be-
Loves that the owners of that publ

newspaper in this city.
Only recently The Evening sun in.
stalled now press At an expense Of
over ~, 900 and now that they have
purchased the Mergenthsler and plant
in entirety OF The Evening Ledger it
places them In n position TO give the
people of this city the best newspaper
that has ever be en- issued in Psducsh.

subscriber OF the publication continue
with the new paper and in doing so

ger believes that the new circulation
will benefit that publication so much
that they will DO able to ask and be
granted by the advertising public
higher rate than they received in the
Iast.

the simple fact that IL is the best To-

of the best new spaper plants to be
found anywhere. Everything is new
and modern, and well selected, and
