says that ''News is that which most
interests the purchaser OF the
newspaper" The Pittsburg (Pa.)
Leader says: ''News is anything that
interests the human race, which has
not been previously known" The
Omaha Herald says that "News is
interesting facts most lately learn
ed" These and a large number Of
other definitions of news are given
by prominent journalists OF the
United States and they only vary
in reference to which is the most
important news-domestic, foreign,
political, Geographic, local or farm.
The Evening Journal of Jersey City
On. J.) says: "News is all facts or
statements of facts, which the pub
lie has a right to know. If news is
of a kind which the public has no
right to hear, it is private news and
not fit subject matter for newspaper
publication" | like this definition
of news. According to my idea the
classification of news, especially for
a country paper, should be as fol-
lows: News that interests the
home or fireside, the city, the coun-
ty, the state, the nation, and the
rest of the world, if you have room
for it all. | would, under all cir
cumstances, kill editorial matter
to give place for news.
In closing | desire to say that
am proud to know that in my state
journalism is fast rising to that
high standard which it should
always maintain. A better class
of men are publishing a
better class of newspapers. The
penny-a-liners and irresponsible dis
reputable blackmailers are now
few and far between. The men who
cannot make an honest living at any
other business are going to jail or tc
the rock pile instead of into the news
paper business, as of yore. The news
papers of the country are not now
run by beggars, pot-house politicians
and deadbeats who were the off
scourings of all other trades anc
professions. The tone of the pres:
is day by day getting better and it,
power for good is rapidly growing
throughout the entire world. l an
free to say that | think the State
and National Associations have done
} much to elevate the press and those
connected with it and to bring abou
the results of which we should all b,
so proud. The editors of the coun
try are no longer %groveling mendi
cants or suppliant tools but indie
! pendent thinking men who have
| duties to perform-a noble calm!
to follow-and are generally mel
equal to emergency. The newspape
business is a distinguished PROBES
d sion and there should be a chair O
+ journalism IN our colleges so tina
T young men could have an opportun
: ity to educate themselves for news
I paper work. There is no bette
{ opening for bright young men wit
small capital than the journalist
S field offers. There is no higher call
ing, unless it is the ministry, AM
the editor has fully as wide a tiel
for good. And it is a paying busi
e ness if you are a business man IAN
you can't succeed in any callingun
u less you are. You must hav
energy, honesty of purpose and en-
l. terprise. Sound principles, commo
sense and a nose for news insure fo
you success in the fullest sense {
n the word. 1t is true a man thus er
q dowed could succeed in almost an
profession, but in no other could b

We Have Got the Pull!
How and Why We Draw the Trade.

By the tremendous power of low prices we are satisfying
customers every day with the quality of the goods which we
sell at low prices. There is nothing in a low price unless the
quality is back of it, remember. You must understand the quail
ty of our goods before you can understand our prices. We want
every body to examine our new stock on its merits as a colec
ton OF strictly first class goods. You will find them honest,
serviceable and reliable, and we will make you low prices that
mean something, in Dress Goods, Trimmings, Fancy Goods, No
lions, Laces, Edgings, Table Damask, Napkins, Marseilles Quilts,
Satteens, Shoutous, Penangs, Percales, Zephyr and Domestic
Ginghams, Lace Curtains, Portieres, Curtain Poles, Ingram and
Brussels Carpets, Oil Cloths, Mems, Boys, Youths and Chnd's
Clothing. Good stock and at prices to suit. Hats, a nobby line;
Gloves, can't be beat; Shoes of best manufactures and at prices
not to be duplicated; Groceries, well they are too cheap to men
ton. Bring in a box of eggs and take back a barrel of sugar,
sack of coffee and two barrels fsalt, and sell us a few pounds
of butter and take back a dress for the old woman and the thir
teen kids and a suit of clothes for the old man and the three
boys. No trouble to show goods. Yours, anxious to please,

Teaching the Men a Lesson.

The women of Rio Grande, N. j.,
taught their husbands, brothers and
sweethearts a political trick or two
in the recent election Of a school trus-
tee, says the Argonaut. They claimed
that their rights were being trampled
in the dust by their lords and masters,
and boldly announced that they intend
ed to rectify the wrong by electing q
school trustee pledged to their interests.
They put forward as their champion
Charles w. Saul, the handsome sta
ton agent Of the West Jersey railroad,
who had endeared himself to every fe-
male heart in the place by his obliging
manners as well as his good looks. Saul
willingly accepted the honor, and the
women started in to win. They can
vassed the entire district and instruct
ed servants and washerwomen that to
vote against Saul meant dismissal. AS
a consequence, the women were at the
polls in force. The main portion Of the
community were jealous of Saul and
picked out their best man, in the per-
son Of Squire F. N. Harris, to run
against him Although the men hustled
for votes, they could not match the win
ningways of the women, and several
ming ways of the women, and several
vote at all If the women did. When
the ballots were counted Saul was
found to be elected by q majority Of
10.
