DIR. KINGsBURY, Of the Wilmington
Messenger, stated a day Or SO ago that
he had labored in Wilmington fifteen
years. He has written editorials on a
daily paper in che town for that great
length of time He says hat he fears he
will not write fifteen years longer, but
that is monkey work. He will live much
longer than fifteen years and he will for
twenty-five years yea. Imagine, even
the work he has done at Wilmington.
How many miles Of manuscript have
been turned from his pencil, how many
subjects have been d~iscussed-how much
good has the good man done. 1t bothers
one to think of it. A thought or a word
is a seed W Dr.. K~ingsbury always
thinks and writes good logic; clean NOR
ais and then he has a force about him
which leaves his words in better shape
to grow than if he used the Durham fer
tilizer for his soil. THE GLOBE has
never met the doctor, in fact has met
but few of the boys. Boys? Well, that
is what Dr.. Kingsbury will be to us-to
the profession, although his years are
trebled. The boys" in iournalism-or
at school, always goes, just as Oliver
Wendell Holmes figured it out in his
poem. We hope DR.. Kingsbury may
live years and years and that he may
continue to do good, as he doubtless will.

paper which is as full of meat as our

do not patrenize him handsomely they
should simply be ashamed Of themselves.
