The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Saturday, August 28, l875

Sure enough, again our prophecy has been fulfilled. A week or two ago we gave the Leon Advocate until snow flew in which to die, on account of its changing its position and supporting Kirkwood. Last week it obeyed the decrees of inexorable fate and died the death of the wicked. It issued the last number, and its old, worn out, feeble remains were removed to this city to be revived in the shape of the Morning Glory. Peace to its bones. Mr. Knapp, its former editor and proprietor, gave us a pleasant call this week, and announced his intention of starting a new paper soon in some locality where Democrats are scarce than in Leon and vicinity.
