This was his first visit to Turkeys Point, and he was bringing his press, cases, chaises, rules, fonts of type ana all the manifold paraphernalia of a country printing office with him. Tom Simmons was at the landing to meet the new editor, who was to revive Turley's Point and bring back It's pristine glory. While the steamboat hands were carrying the presses, fonts of type and boxes ashore Tom had taken the new editors arm and was conducting him up the ascent to the village, all the while commenting on the golden opportunities that awaited the new enterprise.
 To Allen the prospect seemed any thing but encouraging; but he was young and Hull of hope, and determined to make a wig orous battle for position in the Western world

'There is plenty of room here for your presses and every thing This is the best we can do now, but when your business grows, you know, we can build an office to suit it. y
 By this tune the news had spread all over the village that the new editor had ar rived, and the little town, for the first time in years, took OH something like excitement. Toney Barnes hasteued to the building which was to be the newspaper office for an introduction, and as soon Us it was possible for him to do so, secretly informed the new publisher that he was d poet and would have one of his effusions in the very first issue of the new paper. Allen hadn't been long enough in the newspaper business to feel the thrill of horror which an older edit or would at coming in contact with local poet Then Miss Leethy Hopkins, the ancient maiden, Was next to seek an intro duction, and astound the new publisher with the fact that she was q versatile writer She wrote stories, t'pOems in rhyme or blank verse, - tragedies, comedies, essays and, i'll fact, every thing from an epic to d humorous paragraph Miss Hop kins devoted her leisure hours, when not en- gagged in literary work. to teaching the vll- lage school She was tall and slender, her nose was on the Hebraic plan, her small eyes seemed to glare triGmphantly through her glasses, IS she astounded the new editor with her multifarioGs accomplishments Nothing could be done that day except get the press anu material into the building which was to serve as office, prcss-room, composing groom and general storage and mailing-room. \ table at the front en- trance was to serve as the editors desk and hn haI fhpaa ,.ha oh do, nat,l him by the good citizens. That after noon several of those persons who had to- mated sums to the new enterprise met the editor i'll his office to discuss the future of the proposed publication.
 "The first thing to be decided on is name, sad Tom Simmons, familiarly seat ing himself on the table

 Though he tried to grayely consider all advice, the new proprietor smiled The name would certainly not be telling one, bat Tom Simmons, who had political ambi- tions, said:

 Objections, however, were found to that Then Mr Simmons, whose ambition scared i out beyond the narrow confines of Turley's Point, suggested that some broader name be chosen.
 "Don't have Turkeys Point in it at all, V he said "Call it by some name thatwill go out all over the West, and bring iu glory to Turieys Point"
 This seemed sensible, and a hundred in- applicable titles were at once suggested, but almost instantly discarded. At last
