Sad indeed it is for us to make j ^
the-announeement that the pub-.e
lieation of the "old Ledger" ^
will be 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 j
have read the old paper from
childhood will feel as if an old j
and cherished friend, whose frequent
visits always made them ^
glad, had passed away. "The
dear old Ledger," ? how often
have these words, written by,J
citizens of the county who had ^
moved away out west, made our ,
hearts glad and encouraged us
in our work. Native Lancas
trians wherever scattered over
the globe know and love the
old Ledger?the oldest institu- ^
tion 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 estab- J
lishment of The Ledger (1852),
but since that time it forms alv
most a complete record of the it
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 o
advancement, material develop- 9
ment and religious growth of ll
its people are there to be found. *
The patriotism of her sons, c
their gallantry in war, their fi- 1
delity; the noble spirit of her h
women, their devotion, their i1
power of endurance are there 1
recorded. No one could write
a more complete history of the 1
county for the past half century
than it contains, e
No wonder it is dear to the 1
people of the old county. Es- '
pecially is it dear to the older "
people, and that esteem,in most 1
instances, has been handed 0
down from sire to son. Scarce- 1
ly a family in the county, we 8
venture, but has one or more
old copies of The Ledger that
is dear, very dear to them, put 1
away in some secure place where 1
it will not be molested. It may \
be it contains the obituary of f
father or mother, sister or 1
brother, or perhaps it tells of |
the loss of a precious child. Its '
association with these sacred
memories make it dear, very sl
dear to natives of old Lancaster. ?
And this issue, the last, in many ^
instances iear-stainea, will be 1
carefully laid away with a feel
ing of sadness because it is c"
THE LAST* a
The Ledger was established
Feby. 12, 1852, by the late R.
S. Bailey. The late Simpson ll
Harper was its first subscriber, c<
and the late Evan Rollings the n
second. Their subscriptions
were taken by Mr. Bailey at old w
Salem Camp ground. Mr. Bai- "
ley continued editor and pro- 2
prietor of The Ledger until P
185f>, when the late W. M. Connors,
father of Maj. C. T. Connors
who has been chosen to
edit the new paper, became its y1
editor and proprietor. In 18G5
the late David J. Cartej pur
based balf interest in the pace,
and became sole editor am
roprietor the following year
n 1883 he associated with hin
lis son, the present editor, wlu
ecame sole editor after tlu
oath of his father in 1880. I
rill thus be seen that The Led
;er has had hut four editors
v. S. Bailey, W. M. Connors
)avid J. Carter and T. S. Car
or, during the more than hah
entury of its existence. Ol
Is original subscribers sever
re still living and getting tlu
apcr. They are: L. M. Cauth
n, J. L. Tillman, Sr., T. T. Gre
ory, W. R. Bennett, Jeff Sims
Wilson Rowell and Philip Snipes
>f the thousand other subscri
ers to The Ledger many have
een taking it for more thai
arty yearn.
To journalism this editor now
ids adieu. During the twenty
wo years of his journalistic life
e has endeavored faithfully
nd conscientiously to keep The
-edger up to the high standard
f his predecessors. I Ie has stood
i _i
uuncsi^t jmrii}, aiiu sourieiy
i olRcial and individual life
Liking a positive stand on al
floral and political questions,
triving to better the citizenhipof
the county by promoting
he social and moral welfare o1
ts people.
We cannot say farewell with
ut thanking our patrons foi
he liberal support they have
lways given The Ledger, noi
an we fail to acknowledge the
eep gratitude we feel for the
nany true and staunch friench
"lie Ledger has made for us in
ividually. Adieu, kind friends
dieu ! And while we wishyoi
o give to The Lancaster News
our hearty and liberal support
:e hope the memory of the
dear old Ledger" will live ir
our minds and hearts as long
s life lasts.
