- An editor of a newspaper is
expected to know everything, see
everything, and catch every item of
news as it floats down the current of
events, because it is generally his
business to look after such things.
But poor country editor who has
to do all his own type setting, press
work, etc, etc., can't do it, because
he can only be in one place at time.

Oh how happy the scores Of children
were this morning as they gathered ut the
Presbyterian Church from all the neigh
boring Sunday schools. What bright,
smiling faces they wore NJ they o.latted OF
the glorious time anticipated under the
shade trees upon Normal hill during
tho day. for to-day has boen set apart
by all the Sabbath schools rs general
holiday for the pupils and Union Pic
mic at the Normal School grounds. They
all convened at the above church about
nine o'clock AMI after the usual cere-
monies were concluded they marched
down Hickory street to Front, up Front
to Cherry, and up Cherry to the grounds,
where the baskets Of provisions had
preceded them. The procession was
headed by music from the drum and
fife, while banners bearing various
inscriptions and the national emblem
foatcd in the breeze along the entire
procession. Up to the hour Of going
to press, the little ones are enjoying
themselves right royalty, and the sight
amply repays for all the trouble en-
countered by those who projected and
carried out the scheme.

how To make money without labor.
The n.o,Ias opcrandi was as follows:
The plug hat fellow would hail a
farmer and enter INTO conversation with
him until the interest of the interview
resulted IN the plug hat fellow produc-
ing box OF soap and placing in il
three ten dollar bills and then ask the
farmer what he would give for the box.
Sometimes lac would get bid of ten

they had a soft thing on the stranger,

money in the box They thought the
fellow was Il veritable Coal Oil Johnny

dispelled when they opened the DO,
