Don't Permit il.

1t is rumored that the stave facto>
ry will have to be moved from here on
account of the tronble the proprietors
have in getting sufficient timber to run
steadily. 1t does seem to us that
there is the greatest plenty of timber
within a few miles of Milan-enough
to run half a dozen stave factories
and it will be shame if it cannot be
bought at the good prices offered.
We sincerely trust that our timber
owners will notalow it to be moved.

What Bob Burdette Says.


Burdette: "Suppose newspaper
man, every time he hears of a man
who has severely criticised him or his
paper in public should retaiate by
holding up to public gaze the faults
and shortcomings of said criticiser.
what would he the result? Why the
crltlclser would think he had been
terribly outraged, and would thirst for
the editors gore. Then the poor quill
driver would get shot or shoot some
body. That patient beast of burden,
the country journalist, never does ex-
cept under great provocation. Itisn't
because he is afraid to do it, but be.
cause he isn't mean enough. He all
lows men to go around trying to de,
stroy his business. He hears his pa,
per called worthless sheet. because
the editor in doing his duty has step
ped on somebody's toe."

very dark outlook for all the roads

very much on the decline. The Den.
