Woes of an Editor,

A Georgia editor, in summing up his
woes and hardships says, Last week
we We're crippled by having a tree fall
on us. On Monday morning half Of

But it Is cheering to know that such is
not the prevailing character and tone
of Georg journalism. For, from
another newspaper tripod comes q
twitter of delight and a song of Joy and
gladness that betokens a cup running
over. The editor has been given new
hat and his grateful carol is like the
music of bird amongst the winter
stripped branches of lonely tree.
+" In the midst of our exacting labors
there enters an occasional beam Of
light which casts halo DER tne toll
some way. Some little thing, it may
be among the small, sweet courtesies
of life; yet it shows that efforts to do
right are appreciated. 1t elevates the
spirits, buoys up the heart, and acts as
a tonic upon the whole system.

er Gordon Brown, remained as general
manager and editor until few days
since. The directory were in favor of
a protective rather than n free-trade
policy, while Brown was in favor OF
keeping up the fight against tho con-
servatives. Brown was out-yoted. AT
the last met ting of the directors he, as
managing director and chairman, put
the motion for his own expulsion, de-
clared it carried, and walked out.
The directors announce that Mr.. Cam
eron, late of the London Advertiser,

impression is given out that the Globe
will not oppose the policy of protec
ton.

A Successful Theatrical Mana
ger.


Mr.. Joseph Brooks, lessee Of the
Memphis Theater, is in the city on a
brief visit of business which, as this is
his old home where he has many
friends, is also one of pleasure. Mr..
Brooks is accompanied by his wife, a
Richmond lady to whom he was mar
ried about year ago. Perhaps this
accounts in some degree for his i'm
proved sclf-satisfed appearance, and
for the short time that he deyotes 10
his old time gentlemen acquaintance
about town. Many people had re-
garded him as confirmed bachelor,
but he has crowned a very successful
career in business for some years by
securing the hand and life compan-
ionship Of a worthy and a highly cul.
tivated lady, He has joined the great
army of good benediCts, and it has
added to the Staidness and oompla
cency Of his manners. The success Of
Mr.. Brooks as a theatrical manager
has been remarkable. A few years ago
we knew him hore as clerk or sales.
man in leading Main street house,
but he always had a fancy or weakness
for the stage. He even essayed an
amateur role in sock and buskin him
sell, but was not long in discovering
that it would be easier and more prof
table to manage others. So a manager
he became and a successful one from
the start, without much knowledge OF
previous study Of the business. He
is now recognized as one Of the leading
managers of the dag and if not already
wealthy, is young and brainy enough
and in a fair way to be so in ample
time to enjoy it. In common with bis
many friends, for whom we speak, the
LEDGER gives Mr.. Brooks a cordial
welcome back to the scenes of his
earlier struggles in life back to his
old home, where true hearts and warm
friendships are always found.

saying that he would accept or that he
would not make first class Coal Oil
