A local, exchange says that a girl of
its town, who a few years ago used to
dream of a Montmorency de Lancy, is
now very contentedly preparing to
wed a man by the name of Nick White-
heifer.
People who are nob satisfied with
the town in which they live should
either do something to better it or
move oufi. Perhaps the latter would
accomplish the former.—Gladwin Enterprise.
A fellow who couldn't-spare a dollar
a year for a newspaper, sent 50 two
cent stamps to a down easb yankeetQ
know how to raise beets. He got an
answer to "bake hold of the tops and
pulL»~Ex,
The government has jusb published
an old maid chart, which is expected
to be ot tbe greatest value to unmarried women all over the country, It
is a map, printed in colors, and shows
at a glance just in what localities
bachelors are the thickest, and in
what region spinsters are most dense
per square mile.
There is a new song goin^r the
rounds of the press and it runs as follows : "We don'b want to buy at your
place, we don'b want to trade there
anymore; you'll be sorry when you see
us going in same other store. You
can't sell us any stale goods, we have
opened wide our eyes; wo don'b want
to trade at your store, because you
don'b advertise.—Ex.
Girls are hereby warned nob to marry an editor. Ad exchange says such
a being in a nearby town came near
killing his wife one night recently.
A servant awakened by the fracas, discovered the ink-slinger choking bis
better half, lb transpired that a delinquent subscriber had paid ud his
Mih-eriotion, ami he was grasping his
wifu by the throat, thinking he had
the money in his hands.—Gladwin Enterprise.
The postofflce department at Washington has ruled that the writer has a
right to regain possession of a letter
providing he can prove to the satisfaction of the postmaster at the office
from which lb was sen', that he was
the one who wrote ib. Even if a letter has arrived ab its destination, aud
before ib has been delivered to the person to whom it has been addressed, It
aiaybe recalled through a telegram
through the mailitig office. The
reason assigned is ihat the United
States in only the agent of the writer,
while the letter is in transit. The decision is imporbanb to business men
and to private individuals.—Ex.
P. A. McCarthy (that's us} and Miss
Nannie Fisher (that's more of us)
were united in marriage Wednesday at
10 o'clock a. m, ab the home of the
bride's mother, in this city, Rev. B.
O. McQuesten, the beloved pasbor of
both the young people, performed the
ceremony. The ceremony was followed by a sumptous repast which we
have only a faint recollection of. Some
way events seem to crowd on each
otherjusb then. And God has given
us tbe best earthly thing within his
gift, The joy in a sweet wife is too
great to be described—too sacred to be
spoken of, May that bright and happy
face neyer be less bright and happy.—
Ex.
Tbe following has been sent us by a
poor fellow who undoubbedly has bad
his trouble lately: How few of us are
really our own boss. The marrhd-
men are subject to tbiir sweethearts,
the old maids cater to their cats and
poodles, while all of us bow to that
weak thing called- public opinion. Vve
come-to the world withoubour consent,
we leaye it against our protest, aud
while here kick ab everything that
crosses our path, bub all to no purine.
The old world wags on, nob caring
whether we live or die, laugh or cry,
shout or sing, nob caring a farthing
why, till we turn up our toes and mav
be to freeze or fry."—Ex.
The other day when we were driving
down behind our rhinocerous we came
upon a man tearing a bridge to pieces
and placing lb on a wagon. As the
bridge was one we needed In our business we asked the aged farmer what
be was doing with it, and in which
case, why so or -words to tnab effecb.
He replied: !,My eyesighb is poor and
1 have no spectacles with me. I understand thab many adverbisements
are painted on bhis bridye and I am
taking ib home in order thab I may
read them and Und out where, to geb
bargains. The long winter evenings
are coming and I want to lay in a
supply of bridges and board fences and
barndoors thab 1 may sib by my fireside
and read wbab bhe merchants haye to
say.—Ex.
The people want bebber roads and
should have them, bub so long as they
listen to a few miserly old fogies aud
continue in the "old rut" of mud-making roads jusb so long can they worry
their horses and weary their, lives.
The Board of Supervisors, now in
session, should give bhe peonle some
better road system than bhe presenb.—
Cedar Springs Ciipp er.
"A grave yard dance, ab Mill Creek,
Jan. (5, 1899." Tnab sounds funny,
nevertheless it Is brue. A few of the
old residents ab Mill Creek bought
land for a cemetery and are giving a
series of what they advertise as "grave
yard dance" to pay for ib.—Cedar
Springs Clipper.
The fellow with a fast horse aud
nice cutter is the popular young man,
and is on a par with the young man
who never passes an ice cream shop
with a lady wibhout breabing her.

The Bruggist,.     j
The Country Editor.
Mr, E. H, Tabor, the editor of that
very excellent paper, the Brandon,
(Miss.) News, .draws the following y&ry
correct p cture;
A good deal of trash has been printed ab one blme and another concerning blie much-abused country editor,
until the common picture->f him in the
eye of the public is a woe-begooo o.b-
j«'Cb of chariby, pursued by relentless
creditors, obliged bo take turnips,
cord wood and cabbage on subscription,
and constantly on his knees oegglng
for advertising and job work.
To a certain extent the country editor warrants this picture/and js bo
blame for ib. In too many Instances
ibis nrue to life, bubit Is bhe faulb of
man himself. If he allows himself to
be imposed upon, there are always
plenty to pracbice impositions; if he
departs from strict business principles,
thrt public will t;ike advantage of it in
awry way; if he does nob ask fair
prices for his work, and is loose in collecting what he does ask, he will always be "ward up;" If be solicits business as a favor, there are always those
why will demand a dollars worth of
free advertising every time they give
him 50 cents worth of lob work; and
if he bakes poor names on hjs subscription list and is obliged to take all
sorts of rubbish to get even, he will
find his cash subscribers only too willing to settle up In the same manner,
A newsp iper enterprise is no different from any other, and in the bands
of business-Hue, self-res pec ting men
will always be so looked upon by'the
oubiic. lb represents so much money
invested, has serin in expenses that
must be met as ufif.iiliiig as bhose of
the bunker, tbe merchant or bhe manufacturer, and the public must be so
tiughb to consider ib. The day has
lung since passed when it. was considered a smart thing to boast of "standing off the printer," and i i is the printer's fault if he suffers ib now, The
time has long simfe gone by when the
newspaper could be used to bolster up
every man's private enterprise wibh
out substantial returns, and intelligent,, reasoning men know thab this
cannot reasonably be asked,
Yeb there is room for further im-
provemenbin therelations of the newspaper man and the man on whom he
calls for business. The former must
first make his wares worth the market
price, and bhen demand ib on the same
terms thab other concerns do business;
while bhe latber should not ask more
of the newspaper roan than he would
of the merchant, a banker or a rnantt-
f icturer with whom he deals.
Let the brebhren ponder over these
suggesbions, for we venbure to say that
in nine cases outof ten, where they are
imposed on and held in little respect,
It is because they are not entitled to
mure.—Yazoo City (Miss,) Sentinel.
A Solid Train of. Dead Men.
The government is soon to let con-
bracts with bhe railroads bo carry
about 1,000 coffins to San Francisco
for Manila and haul back bhe remains
of all our soldiers who were killed or
died from disease in the Pbilipines
lb will take about a solid train of express cars to bring back the dead, and
ib will be the largest single shipment
of corpses ever made on railroads in
the hisbory of the world. The freight
agents of the different big railroads
will be husbiing afber the business
from now unbil the conbracts are let.
