3. OF s.

Once more the lnter-O Ocean has
got new editorial head, this time in
the person of Mr. c. +. Foote, late
OF Moorehead, who took possession as
editor and manager of the paper last
Monday. Mr.. Foote is man Of CON
siderable experience in the newspaper
business, and the paper will no doubt
be run on 4 different plan than it has
been for the past year If Mr.. Foote
will just turn his thumb nail over onto
the ''lice and nitso that have scrubbed
for It's columns the past year or more
he will at least receive the thanks of
SO per cent Of our people, and only by
doing SO can lie hope to make his pa
per respectable. We extend the right
hand of fellowship to brother Foote.
We will say here that it was because
we knew that this change was about
to be made, that we paid 10 attention
to the dirty curs that snapped at our
heels through its columns last week.
The thief will steal in the night; the
assassin will stab in the back, and the
contemplate assassin of character as
sails his betters through the columns
of a newspaper without attaching his
name TO his dwellings We utterly
despise such knave.

Origin Of sa Rings.

The custom of wearing earrings Is
50 ancient that it IS impossible to tell
who set the fashion. According to
the Moslem creed, every Mohamme-
dan lady considers it her duty to wear
them in honor Of Hagar, who was
held in peculiar veneration as the
mother Of lshmael, the founder of the
Turkish race There is curious leg
end that Sarah, the wife of Abraham,
was so embittered against Hagar
that she resolved to disfigure her riv
als's face. Her better nature, how
ever, triumphed and she only pierced
the lobes Of her ears Hagar wishing
to seem comely to Abraham put rings
in her ears to cover the marks. Her
Turkish descendants to-day feel that
a woman dishonors her great ancestor
if she fails to wear them. But many
sensible girls and and women in our
own land want a better reason for the
fashion.-Philadelphia Call.
