Sad indeed it is for us to make ,
the announcement that the pub-,
lication of the "old Ledger"
will he discontinued after this
issue, and we cannot help but
feel that the announcement will
carry sadness into every home
* . . |
throughout the county. The .
older citizens, some few of whom
have been subscribers since the
first issue, and the many who
have read the old paper from
childhood will feel as if an old
and cherished friend, whose fre
quent visits always made them
glad, had passed away. "The
dear old Ledger," how often
have these words, written by
citizens of the county who had
moved away out west, made our
hearts glad and encouraged us
in our work. Native Lancastrians
wherever scattered over
the globe know and love the
old Ledger?the oldest institution
in Lancaster county, and
one of the oldest of the 154
papers published in the State.
Fifty-three years is not a
short period. It is more than
half a century. Comparatively
little is known of the history of
our county prior to the establishment
of The Ledger (1852),
but since that time it forms almost
a complete record of the
doings and happenings throughout
the county. The marriages,
deaths, accidents, crimes, misfortunes
of each year, are all
chronicled in its columns. The
political conditions, educational
advancement, material development
and religious growth of
its people are there to be found.
The patriotism of her sons,
i.v ii i ii . . /?
ineir gallantry in war, tneir ndelity;
the noble spirit of her
women, their devotion, their
power of endurance are there
recorded. No one could write
a more complete history of the
county for the past half century
than it contains,
No wonder it is dear to the
people of the old county. Especially
is it dear to the older
people, and that esteem,in most
instances, has been handed
down from sire to son. Scarcely
a family in the county, we
venture, but has one or more
old copies of The Ledger that
is dear, very dear to them, put
away in some secure place where
it will not be molested. It may
be it contains the obituary of
father or mother, sister or
brother, or perhaps it tells of
the loss of a precious child. Its
association with these sacred
memories make it dear, very
dear to natives of old Lancaster.
And this issue, the last, in many
instances tear-stained, will be
carefully laid away with a feeling
of sadness because it is
THE LASTThe
Ledger was established
F'eby. 12, 1852, by the late R.
o o?:i ? rnu _ i?i _ o;
o. .tnuiuy. i ue ittLU oiiripson
Harper was its first subscriber,
and the late Evan Rollings the
second. Their subscriptions
were taken by Mr. Bailey at old
Salem Camp ground. Mr. Bailey
continued editor and proprietor
of The Ledger until
1856, when the late VV. M. Connors,
father of Maj. C. T. Connors
who has been chosen to
edit the new paper, became its
editor and proprietor. In 1865
the kite David J. Carter pur
chased hail interest in the paper,
and became sole editor and
proprietor the following year.
In 1883 he associated with him
his son, the present editor, who
became sole editor after the
death of his father in 1889. It
will thus be seen that The Ledger
has had but four editors:
R. S. Bailey, W. M. Connors,
David J. Carter and T. S. Carter,
during the more than half
century of its existence. Of
its original subscribers seven
are still living and getting the
paper. They are: L. M. Cauthen,
J. L. Tillman, Sr., T. T. Gregory,
W. R. Bennett, Jeff Sims,
Wilson Rowell and Philip Snipes.
Of the thousand other subscribers
to The Ledger many have
been taking it for more than
forty years.
To journalism this editor now
bids adieu. During the twentytwo
years of his journalistic life
he has endeavored faithfully
and conscientionslv to keen The
Ledger up to the high standard
of his predecessors. I le has stood
for honesty, purity, and sobriety
in official and individual life,
taking a positive stand on all
moral and political questions,
striving to better the citizenshipof
the county by promoting
the social and moral welfare of
its people.
We cannot say farewell without
thanking our patrons for
the liberal support they have
always given The Ledger, nor
can we fail to acknowledge the
deep gratitude we feel for the
many true and staunch friends
The Ledger has made for us individually.
Adieu, kind friends,
adieu ! And while we wish you
to give to The Lancaster News
your hearty and liberal support,
we hope the memory of the
"dear old Ledger" will live in
your minds and hearts as long
as life lasts.

from Sept. 1, 1004 to Sept. 1

the equivalent of 1,590 500-poum

of the Lancaster dispensary #50,
312.75. 1 he average sales at Ih
