Struggles of Nevada Journalis,

struggles of a Nevada Journalist
 Monday-Another dreary grind at the journalists min IS before me. Must rustic up all the little notices can this week. How feelingiy Expressive is that noble apostrophe Of Deacon Pickering : l %God bless our small adsifli If our en- terprising local tradesmen Gas we hap pity alluded to- them in Saturday s issue) only knew how much good their $2.50 notices do us they would never drop month. Hope I won't have ito take all my holiday adve1tisng out in trade. I've got six hats, four coats, a waterproof suis, a rolled gold scarf pin and six dozens nesxties, besides bale of hay,an order fdr freebasl,s at swift's ESprings and season pass,to the opera house-but oh how hungry I am. Must write up. our hotels, and perhaps l can ring in on an occasional meal.
 Tuesday-Another, day hammered in . to eternity, and I. am still alive. How my arms ache Tdrned the press for fully ten minutes working of our iedi- tion. After all, it is still & noble pro fession. Platter myself to-day's leader -"The True Policy of. the Administra- tlon"-will open President Arthur's eyes. Tomorrow must work in that communication from Judge -, en- titled, "The Republic of the Rocks, p and be heard by him reading it aloud to friend in the vicinity of saloon. Was urged to join three churches this morn ing by their pastors. Sternly refused. Evidently a deep-laid plan to get free notices of church. sociables. Wish Thanksgiving day came again this month. Hear that there is crowd from the Comstook at the Ormsby. Will drop around there, casually, ss it were There may be, Ut least, some nutriment in it.
 Wednesday-Collected two dollars this morning gand paid it tos the prinbers. Life with them saaeain tiDgsd with ahs hues of the rainbow. To-day we pub fish g stirring article on the develop ment of the mines of Ormsby County, besides our free flow of fancy and inn agination in other fields. Little do our readers think when roaming over our humorous sallies that they are written with the famine-belt buckled up to the the last hole. Why don't our people organize a cooperative soup-kitohen to tide over the. winter ? Must urge that idea. lrFs '%C!csSL
 Thursday-7Hung around. the depot all day looking for theatrical advance agent, who was reported due here. Missed him. Life is filled with bitter reverses. Our stock of paper is getting short; we need new rollers, and it is rumored that another daily is to be started here. Never mind one more will make no difference !; Senator Jones spoke very encouraging about that mint position, and there's sure to be lively campaign next, fall. ,s v-
 Friday Down to two meals every three days. Mem,--Musn't read Dickens at present. His glowing de. scriptions of well-spread boards make me faint. Subscribers complain that there is nothing in the paper. If they included the editor the remark would be founded on fact
 Saturday-We live again. A supply of cake was sent to the office this morn ing with a wedding notice. After a desperate struggle with the printers, wrested part of the spells from them and gave quarter of column send- off to the misguided pair. If I can get a pass will go to Virginia tomorrow. Understand there's 8 fine free luuch system there in the leading saloons. Wish had Tanners stomach to fall back on in my contest with hamilton. Another week passed, at any rate. No; I will not despair. The time may come when gaunt famine and I will be stran- gers.
