very reluctant 10 appoint a court 10

it. he wrote the clergyman a letter
whose closing sentences run as fol-
lows.

Of Gods church and in teaching as

M Neb., come to the terms OF

commit matrimony or will they succeed
in driving her out Of business unless she
takes the plunge herself?
The warfare which has been waged
for several months in the town between
the conservative and single business in
terests on one side and the lone spinster
on the other. who lodges taking her
own prescription. has become so acute
that just where It viii end is an inter-
esting question.
When Miss Hudspeth secured control
OF the only newspaper in the vicinity
there was nothing TO Indicate that she
aspired to become the matrimonial die
tator Of the region. She ran the news
paper on a conservative basis. but ac-
cording to her own ideas. and made a
success of it
When she took UP politics and cleaned
It up thoroughly. refusing to support
bad candidates and publishing their rec
ords most of the men agreed that she
was about right and encouraged her to
go on When she took up one or two
business enterprises and they became
lucrative the single men applauded and

Stuart, Neb., is a quiet place and
there are numerous women who would
readily enter the bonds of matrimony.
but not having the chance il seemed TO
Miss Hudspeths feminine mind that she
might be able to cure the evil by en-
ploying the power OF the press.
So every week when they pick up the
Stuart Ledger they find its columns
filed with taunting illusions TO their
single state, advice regarding their
personal conduct and other matters
