How much better when husband
and wife fall out and como to their
senses again to shake hands over the
mud and dirt, torn clothes, scratched
faces and resolve to stand by each 9TH
or through thick and thin.
A young attorney Of this place and
his wife while out riding late FRI
day evening, out by Village creek,
had al unusual fall out. While ap-
preaching pool Of water in the wood
he attempted to pass by on the bank
when to his confederation the buggy
upset landing them in the middle OF
the pond. Instead Of standing by him
a. no waded through the mud and
water setting things Alright again she
scrambled to the opposite bank declar-
ing she never saw such . driver In
her life. That student OF Blackstone
come to the conclusion that that was
as dirty case a. he had cvor tried.

SUSPENDED.

Tho daily Democrat, Of this city, sus-
pended publication indefinitely with
its issue OF Saturday, July 3lst. AT
the birth Of this enterprise, April 10Th,
last, We spoke Of it as follows:
at presents very creditablc first
appearance in this new venture. Neat,
spicy, and attractive, it should be en-
tirely satisfactory to its friends. 1t is
no small undertaking to attempt the
publication of daily paper in a field
liko this. and its friends should rally
around it. We welcome enterprise
in every department among us, and
trust that this daily newspaper effort
may meet with permanent success"
We could not thon say what We felt
would be its inevitable fate, viz: an
cpbemcral life and premature death,
because it would have becn interpret.
cd by many as an .unfavorablc crisi-
cism. Our own experience had taught
us. years ago, that the Jordan of q
daily newspaper here had been q hard
road to travel, and 1t was perfectly
clear to us that new enterprise, how
ever we'll conducted, must sink money
for long time to como. We hope
Mr.. Evans has not been a greater loser
than he states, in this experiment, and
really think that he has done we'll II
no has got off as cheap az no imagines.
His farewell article, announcing the
demise of the daily, is very susccpti-
bio indeed, to criticism, by way Of
correction in statements. especially in
its reference to the DAILY COURIER, by
namc and by inference. We forbcar,
however, since it is fitting that allow
ancc should be made for tho circum-
stances under which they wero made.
and at the grave of contemporary 1t
is better to be generous to fault. it
may be. We are sorry that tho sombre
feelings of friend Evans lod him to
give discouraging outlook for our
citys prosperity.
