How would I make a find command NOT show the path of a file?

When I do

find . -name "*.txt" -size +0 -exec ls {} \;

I get something like

./lpi_stdout.txt
./lpi_stderr.txt

What would I need to do or pipe it into to strip off those first two characters so I just get

lpi_stdout.txt
lpi_stderr.txt

?

Thanks for the help!

try adding a -1 to the ls argument.

Code:
find . -name "*.txt" -size +0 -exec ls -1 {} \;
