Mimi, who with his wife has been
spending a short vacation East, and
few days in his native town and coun-
ty, paid this Office pleasant call this
morning. Mr.. Dodge is attorney for
one of the great railway corporations

A very quiet caucus was held on
Saturday evening, Rev. j. K. Fuller

ination for town representative by &C
clamation. The town conceded the

is man alive to all things of public
good, right on moral questions, an in
teresting speaker and will be a credit
to the town. Let's give him rous-

A few things about small local items,
cards of thanks, resolutions, etc.:
The MONITOR is sent into more than.
2, 900 homes. Tt is a 'locaF' paper,
but Of such circulation that it can not
afford to use space in non important
matters. Some things are of too little
to go into print; other
things, such as long sets of resolu-
tions, long obituary notices, etc., oc-
cupy more space than can we'll be
granted A brief statement of thing
done is read, while long, detailed
account is ''skipped." Parties some
times forget that the newspaper is
used for publishing news, not ancient
history, landsthat whatever is furnish
ed should relate to something that
has just transpired-is news. Remem-
Der that ink, paper, type and compo-
sition cost something, and that obitu
aries, cards, resolutions and notices
ont .foI mo re OF n yIY,Cr
long space, should be paid for. If
they are worth advertising, pay the
printer something for his work. He
is not running gift prize =
can not afford it. We try to be gen
erous in these matters and dislike
to say that our generosity is some
times pretty hard used, but that is the
case.
