 The weeklies are having a picnic. Will Kolbsy get on the grass? That is the ques- ton. The Decatur News says: "Reuben is liable to get himself in the clutches of the law-perhaps to break in some coal mine to atone for his foolishuess. ]"

 The junior editor of the Alabama Beacon recently had queer experience with a canebrake belle. It came about this way: He was showing her through the estab- lishment of that paper and explaining as well as possible, without personal allu- sion, the motive power of the Washington hand press.

He explained the only diff ference is simply this: In the cylinder press goodly amount of muscle exercise goes to 'waist."
