There is nothing that is more dis
gushing to newspaper man than tc
take upa country exchange, expecting
to get some State news and find nearly
the whole paper filed UP with plates
When we hear people cry out against
patent ont sides and then use these
plates we can but smile at the in
creduhty of those who are so easily
deceived, and often we think of a
remark that the late Capt. Farmer
made to us. We were discussing some
point when be said: do YOU know
that large percentage of the people
of the present age like to be hum
bugged?" We thought over this
and our opinion is that they do not
like to be "humbugsed." but that
'hunbuggery' seems to be carrying
the day, and they are deceived.
