 We are indebted to MrA H. Brown
 of Walnut, Iowa, for copy of the Wal

 W. l.. Brown, one of the NEWS compositors, was confined to the house | several days last week, with sore throat and fever. He is out again and will re- sume work to-day. F. B. Young took Wills case last Friday and Saturday and 0. H. Pease on Monday and Tuesday. Some people have joked the NEWS about it's boy printers, but we notice when ever our exchanges are in trouble, they call on the NEWS for assistance, and we always respond. Under such circum- stances boy printers are appreciated.
 Brother Jones of the New Hartford Tribune is working right up on his pa per. Last week he was left in the lurch by his foreman and issued day later than usual, We were glad to be able to help him out, and see no reason why he is not in a fair way to be independent, with one daughter able to set type with the average compositor and his eight year-old Hattie to call on in emergen- cies. We believe he brides himself on having the youngest typo in the state and she sets proof that many an older and more experienced printer might be proud of.
 Owing to circumstances over which we had no control we find ourselves somewhat late to press this week and might have been unable to print our paper at all, had it not been for the generous courtesy of brother $. c. | D. # NEWS, who promptly sent to our rescue his efficient foreman, Mir c. B. John son. -Ne,o Haryord Tribune, Feb. l.

All went . we'll until 1t was discovered that he was using stolen sermons, when an investiga- tion disclosed the fact that his license to preach was forgery. Then Henry had B sudden call somewhere else, and he left. Dfiherton Telegram, Feb. l.
