BEAUTIES OF EDITING A
NEWSPAPER.

Editing q newspaper is a pleasant
business, not too pleasant, but Just
pleasant enough.
If it contains much political mat
ter, people won't have it.
If the type is large it doesn't con-
tain much reading matter.
1.-THE type is small it hurts the
eyes to read it.
If We publish real stories folks
say they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them, we have no en-
terprise.
If we have few jokes, folks say
that we are nothing but end men.
IT We omit the jokes, folks say we
arc dull.
1--we publish original matter they
damn us for not giving selections.
If we give selections, people say
that We are lazy for not writing
more and giving them what they
have not read in some other paper.
If we give q complimentary no.
tice we are censured for being par
tial.
If don't, all hands say We are
CHASTITY.
IF we insert an article which
pleases the ladies, the men become
Jealous. and Uice Uersd.
II we attend Church, they say il
is for effect.
If we remain in our Office attend
ing to our business we are too proud
to mingle with other folks.
five don't pay promptly We are
not to be trusted.
If we pay promptly, they say we
stole the money.-Erchange.

BE GOOD CHEER.

There is one remedy which has
proved itself to be priceless boon
and true friend to suffering hu-
mainly. It has saved thousands of
nervous, debilitated. headaching
mortals to lives of usefulness ard
the full enjoyment of robust helth. If
you are weak, nervous and debilita-
ted, or suffer from indigestion and
dyspepsia, you make serious mis-
take and do yourself great injustice
# you fail to try this excellent medi-
cine. You will find it q perfect
panacea for all your troubles. In a
few weeks time your shattered ner-
vous system viii be restored to a
natural and healthful condition, all
symptoms of dyspepsia and indiges-
ton disappear and the possibility
of paralysis, apoplexy. and other
disorders that lead to sudden death.
will be removed forever. This meri-
torious compound is preparation
of Iron and essential vegetable
tonics. tbs the only preparation
of Iron that does not give headache
or 5lacken the teeth. It is called
BIows's IRON Buffers. Demand it
of your druggist, and take no SUBJ
stitute. 1t will give the greatest
satisfaction, for its effects are lasting
and not temporary. as is the case
with alcoholic preparations. Browns
Iron Bitters contain no alcohol

Mr.. James A. Weatherford, of

"Don'twaste time in clipping of
the branches" said the woodman 20
his son, ''but lay your az at the root
Of the tree" And the young man
went out and laid his Ak at the root
OF the tree, a dutiful boy. and
then went fishing. Truly. there is
nothing 80 beautiful as filial obe-
dience.
