A reader of the Lexington Intel
ligencer writes from Louisiana, Mo-,
asking il Mai. John n. Edwards,
editor of the late SedxIia Dispat ch.
and candidate for public printer, IS
practical printer? To the query,
the IntelI,gencer replies as follows,
and in SO doing pays neat compl,-
ment to one of the finest journalists
and besl printers IN the State:
THE above is from a friend of
Maj. Edwards. and we are only sur
prised that anyone can know him at
all and nor know that he is prac-
teal printer. Maj. Edwards came
to Lexington when quite young,
already a practical printer. He
worked here several years as COM
position on the Expositor Mr.. VIM.
Meet, who is now coInpo,itor in
this Office, working with him. He
quilted his trade for short time
once, but soon returned to 1t. Mr.
w. G. Musgrovc, one of the pro-
prietors OF this paper, did his first
work as a journeyman in the old
Expositor office when Maj. Ed
wards was foreman, he having held
that position then for some time,
and continued to do so up to the
war, when he went into the army,
and, is generally known, serveo
with distinction on Gen. 7. B. Shell
bv's staff. When Mr.. Meet was
asked If Maj. Edwards was prac-
tical printer, his exclamation was,
tWell, / should think so, and
good one too!' Inquirer can
find abundance of testimony 10 the
fact that Maj. Edwards has spent a
lite time in the newspaper business,
first as compositor, next as tore
man OF one OF the then best ap-
pointed Offices in Missouri, and for
some yeals as brilliant and forcl-
BILE writer. In this, the home of his
early manhood, has the good wishes
of all who know him."

Wild People of the idaho Backwoods

From the Territorial Enterprise.
In the .backwoods' region of
Idaho are many people, "born and
raised in the wilds, who have never
seen either railroad or a steam
boat. Since railroads have been
penetrating toward their Businesses
they have heard such wonderful
things about the locomotives Jump
ing off the tracks and killing people
that it is hard to get native near a
train. In order to get them aboard
train it is necessary TO blindfold
them, the same as mules and horses
are blinded when they are taken in
to dangerous places. Even when
they are aboard tram 1t is necessa-
nv to watch them closely to prevent
them jumping out of the windows
when a locomouve blows ITS whis-
tie.

with her hands. rinsing it off with a
soft sponge She used clear water
in the morning, but white CASTLE
soap or Very warm water at night
and after driving it on a soft towel
she would take flesh brush and rub
her cheeks. chm and forehead. Sec
cond-ff She was going 10 be up
late at night she always slept as
many hours in the day as she expect
ed TO be awake beyond her usual
time. She finished her little sermon
on beauty preservation bv saying:
'sSott water and sound sleep keep off
wrinkles and spots, and girls
should give more attention TO this
than they do, for with the coming
of the crows feet is the going of the
beaux feet
