Pearson, and was in her fiftieth year. Shu had been a consecrated Christian woman for many years, having joined the Methodist church in iStlU, and was universally beloved by those who knew her. She had been married twice and was the mother of ten children, all of whom survive her. The sympathy of the entire coin- goes out to the bereaved Next Week She Eight Par'* The phenominal success of this pa per has warranted the projectors to enlarge the paper and to make an earnest effort to make it better and brighter in every respect. Thk Lkp- afta was not established as an organ to promote the interests of any par ticular faction or enterprise. It has been independent and labored for the best interests of those who support it. In short, it has been a newspaper in all that the word implies, striving to promote the interests of its constitu ency. It has the largest bona-fide subscription list of any weekly paper in the state according to its age, and its advertisement columns do credit ! to the town. They show' the enter- i prise of the business men and the faith that foreign advertisers have in it as an advertising medium. Now we propose to make the new Leugkk the best weekly paper in the state.
