Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1873-05-17

Our ncghbor of the Gazette, who is beginning |
to assume n venerable look himself, and some
what enyious of the youthful appearance of the
senior editor of the american, is not willing to
allow single year to be deducted from the cor
rect age of the latter without protest on his part
The senior of the american has no desire to con-
ceal the truth in this matter, and is willing TO |
admit, for the benefit of the future historian, /
that he is several years older than the editor Of
the Gazette, whatever appearances may Indicate |
10 the contrary.
BAD PoLIcY:-To ask the public to support an |
entertainment in this place, and have all the
printing done elsewhere, or to ask the newspa- |
pers to publish local notices gratuitously. Also,
parties who do not support their home offices TO |
ask for pufs, notices of matters in which they
arc interested, free of charge, and for ambitious
individuals for office, TO ask an editor to use his
influence for the advancement OF their political |
interests, when they do not even rs much rs sub |
scribe to his paper.
WE notice of late that large number of young
girls, varying from 10 to years of age, visit the
post Office on the arrival Of the mails, ard crowd
themselves ahead of business notwithstanding
the delivery window, and making all wait until
each has inquired for letter, which they prosa
bly, expect TO receive in the course of month, or
perhaps not at all. Although annoying to bust
ness men to be placed in the rear ranks of n par
eel Of gggnc girls in the delivery Of the mails,
they should take into consideration that the girls
mean business in the way of showing of to the
best advantage, even If their mothers protest
against it.
TIE lEi;onidn says that lock up in that place
is sadly needed. Judging from the rowdyism dis
played in Milton on Saturday night last, we can
agree with our cotcmporary, and would suggest
in addition the appointment OF efficient police.
