The man who makes no enemies is
a nonenity, and the newspa-
per that dosn't occasionally have its
serenity disturbed by some one swoop-
ng down on the editor, with malic-
GUS leer In his eye, commanding in
zones of thunder to have his paper
stopped, exerts but little moral force ,
N the community in which it is pub
ished. Be a man, whatever your vo-
,ation in life; "Hew to the line, let
he chips fell where they may;" be .
yourself, be somebody, and abide the ,
-esult.
