DELUDED PEOPLE exchange re-
marks that great many people think
newspaper should he filled with local news
whether anything happens or not. Deludcd
nortals! Local editors cannot make people
break their necks, commit suicide, or do any
of the other exciting things that go to make
up the material out of which newspaper men
delight to weave paragraphs. 1t is no more
than fair that those who grumble at the lack
Of local news IN their paper should stop and
think whether they could not give the GILL
tor an item Or two worth printing, and if go,
TT them hold their peace, or growl at their
own remissncss.

CownIDED.-Mr Jos. b. Baker president
of the Citizens National Bank of Frederick
a good man, weighing probably two hun.
dred pounds, administered last week cow.
hiding to Mr.. Alton B. Carly of the Times
who weighs probably 1875 pounds. Mr.. Car.
ly is the Frederick corresponding the Bal
timore News and in that capacity received the
for having given credcncc to ru-
NOR without first verifying it, said rumor be-
ing to the effect that Mr.. Baker had been
out of $4,000.
Whether Mr.. Baker had it in mind, We do
rot know, but he chose the one sure method
his denial lwould secure publicity
equally with the original false rumor and the
fact that the sensational rumor would travel
in thirty league boots, Willie a simple con-
tradiction would follow at snails gait, is
the only decent excuse Mr.. Baker could
give for the attack. Mr.. Carly is repurted
to have submitted to the castigaiion calmly
and in as dignifed manner as the nature Of
the case permitted: MIR. Baker is reported as
having said that he was willing TO pay for
privilege enjoyed by him in the whipping
and Mr.. Carly seems to have determined to
accept an amount at lis hands, but will re-
quire that the sum be determined by suit
1t law, Mr. VIM. p Maulsby, Jr. having
been retained. The incident fguratlvely
speaking stood Frederick on its head not
since the Titanic Belt struggle has the old
town been so convulsed and oil because one
man, perchance, weighed eighty pounds
more than another.
