EDITOR OF THE COUNTRY MEMS
PAPER.-There is no man who does
more for the community in which
he lives than the editor Of the coun.
try newspaper. Toiling ceaselessly
from one years end to another,
often with insufficient help and un-
able to secure assistance, he mana
ges to issue regularly his weekly
paper, filled with the news of his
county and the world. No busi-
ness enterprise is started in his
county that he is not expected to
"give it a little boost" No enter
tainment is projected by the church
that he is not called on to give it
"free puff" IL q leading citizen
dies his columns are thrown open
for liberal obituaries, while births
and weddings are all noticed, usual
ly at considerable length. IL his
county is an agricultural one, he
must never fail to tell how big the
crops Of all the farmers are, so that
people from other places may be
induced to locate. II there are
coal veins to be opened, he must
fill his columns with reports Of the
thickness of the veins, the value of
the coal and the inducements held
out to capitalist for its development.
IL there is q railroad to bc built,
q new courthouse is wanted, or
any improvement contemplated,
the columns OF his paper must be
used to boom them. In u thous.
and ways he helps his county and
every issue Of his paper is worth
great deal to the people Of his COM

A GEORGIA SOLOMON. Solomon
has the credit Of being the wisest
man of his day, but there are some
things about Solomon's life which
do not reflect much credit on the
quality of his wisdom. lie was
strictly unorthodox on the marriage
question, although his multitude of
wives may be used to illustrate how
he could live to good old age, and
be Of large account to the world,
without sacrificing his energies to
keep peace in the family. Ofccnrse
it was as Judge that he obtained
his fntr rfeme& md q all tl,e @ctsins
bis judisial career the case OF the
baby appears TO Be the best remem-
bered. II will be found duly re-
corded in First Kings, and it tells
in detail how Solomon, to decide
which OF the two claimants was the
mother of the child in dispute, or
dered the infant to be cut i'm halves.
This method worked very well
indeed in Solomon's day. but it is
not very certain that it would do
for modern times. Indeed, case
is reported from Georgia which dis
tinctly repudiates the wisdom of the
plan. Two women appeared before
a magistrate, and each claimed that
she was the mother of a certain
baby. The Judge placed the baby
on the desk in front of him and the
trial began. The conflict was brisk
and noisy, and the judge was about
to give up in despair, when he re-
membered Solomon. Drawing
bowie knife from his boot, he de-
clared to the women that he would
give half to each. They were so
shocked that at first they could not
speak. Then they looked at the
magistrate, saw his firmness, and
screamed, almost together: Don't
do that; you can keep it yourself
1t would have been rather hard il
Solomon had had an experience like
this. But, when we come to think
OF it, they don't mind large families
in Georgia.
