The following item on"dead heads, taken
from contemporary, is as applicable to this
place as any other city or town: The free
tickets e ven to the press for the uses named
are always paid for,and that very literally.
As rule, those who issue-not those who
receive-these free tickets are the" dead
heads, usually giving fifty cents for that

three pounds of tea, or half a dozen 'free
tickets" to whoever engaged twenty seats al
concert, they would resent the demand as
an insult. Yet why should not their wages
be given away as freely as. should and are

profit and living by selling his goods. The
publisher of a newspaper makes his by sell

them away, and when he does give them in
aid of public library or other benefeien1
object, he deserves thanks as public bene
