The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

When in London some timcago M- 4 Mary Coueland, Otago, New i'.calaii'. went with rcl<iti\es to SI Clement Danes Church in the Strand, says, a London exc hinge. She has just been married to the curate of St. Clement Danes, whom ,1mtil her visit to the ��������������������������� church she had ne\ er met. Miss Cope land, if is said, is heiress to ������ consul ei'able fortune. The curate of St. Clement Danes is the Rev. Win. Earle, a native of "Ballynahoin, Co. Wexfoid, who is 48 years of age. Debrctt tells us that jn iflOl he assumed thc title and baronetcy of Straglcitlnope, Co. Lincoln, which was believed to ha^e become extinct in 1007. Among the interesting events in the career of thc Rev. William. Earle may be mentioned his candidature for Hie vicarate of the Parish of Clerk- enwell in 18D8, when he imported an element of humor into an otherwise potcntously solemn contest by issur- ing a bill inscribed: ��������� .-. '"Vote for Earle, B'.A., M.R., R. T)., Irinshmnii. Gentleman, private means. Sixteen years' experience." In his1 address to 1]jc 10,000 electors of ClerKenwcll, Mr. Earle appealed to the Roman 'Catholics' "because (nm Irish,"-to foreigners "because they lo\'c Ireland," to 'Nonconformists "localise'I have slated in my pamphht on reunion that :h'*y are thclt of tho earth and the light of the world,," to the -.vs .'because my tO''-c for iho Children of Promise i.s well known." 0 _ APOLOGY l'.Y GRAMOPHONE' The Right Reier'end .
