The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Saturday, July 31, 1875

It is rumored that MRS. JAMES, the editress, proprietress and publisheress, of the Leon Journal, is about to sell it to a gentleman from Ill. Old SAM WELLER advised young SAM to "beware of the vidders," but our SAM KIRKWOOD won't find many "vidders" in Iowa, to stand up to him like the editress of the Journal has done since he has been nominated.
