**********************************************************************

James H. Bradley, the well known editor of the "Leeton Times," was born
in 1862 on a farm located ten miles south of Windsor, Missouri.  He was
reared on the farm and his boyhood days were spent as most country lads 
spend their time, in work on the farm and attending the district
school.  When Mr. Bradley was 21 years of age, he entered the newspaper
business at Brownington, Missouri.  After one year in that city, he
purchased a paper in Urich, which he edited and managed for a brief 
time, when he moved to Lincoln and started a paper.  From Lincoln, 
where he was in the newspaper business one year, Mr. Bradley moved to
Calhoun and thence to Leeton.  For fifteen years, James H. Bradley has
been the owner and manager of the "Leeton Times."  Prior to that, the
paper was owned by S. J. Major & Company.  The "Leeton Times" has been
established twenty years.  Mr. Bradley has been connected with news-
paper work nearly thirty years.  February 14, 1876 James H. Bradley and
May Thoman were united in marriage.  Mrs. Bradley was formerly of 
Calhoun, Missouri.  To James H. and May Bradley have been born five
children: Harry L.; Paul P.; Mrs. Charles Murdock, Savannah, Missouri;
Berniece; and Helen.  Mr. and Mrs. Bradley have many friends in Leeton,
where they have resided almost a score of years, and they are widely
known and highly respected in Johnson county.  In addition to managing
and editing the "Leeton Times," Mr. Bradley does much job printing.  He
is thoroughly acquainted with all lines of the printing business and 
the work which leaves his office is always first class and perfectly
satisfactory.  As an editor, James H. Bradley has an established repu-
tation in Johnson county for well written, able, thoughtful editorials,
which are widely read and commented upon not only in this county but in
adjoining counties.
