Oh, what hard time a newspaper
man has in this world, where people
are hard to please. II one of our cltl-
zens goes abtoad and does something
that causes Tie newspapers abroad TO
mention il, and the home paper lalls
to notice what they say, 'ne
accusation of not doing our duty Is
made. Then when we do make note
! OF what other people are saying about
our citizens we ATE jumped upon 1ol
noticing it..

turned from Il drumming trip IN the
up country. and his very manner

and as he approached without bidding

inu the gathering clouds OF an tiD-

;lppointed, for us soon as he came

his chest expanded he continued !:
sDo YOU tink dat dis n. f., vos such a
tam fool as to give his pants to poys

We replied that we knew nothing
about the affair except what we saw
in the Greenville News and knowing
that he was in the up country we
thought he was the subject OF the
article.

Our friend with his expanded chest,
and walking stick Went out much 10
our relief, and fearing, al after
thought on his part we followed be,
Ihind and closed the door. We will
ask our friends not TO say "schlkens
or "preeches" to NJ X. when he is IN
town because we cannot afford to keep
4 guard at the door to watch his ap-
proach, nor do we fancy coming IN
contact with his stick.
