W. S. Baker, editor of the Amoret
Beacon, while in the city the other
day attending court made the TINES
pleasant call. Editor Baker Is a
clever, sociable fellow, and gets out
a clean, neat, first class local paper
for the community in which it is
published and we are glad to see
that the merchants of his town give
him a hearty support in the way OF
patronage. That's right, they ought
to do so as he gives them value
received.
The Rich Hill Review says the
miners of that locality held a meet
ing at Muddy bridge Sunday, when
a committee was appointed to wait
on the coal company and ask that
the 10c taken off for mining
about a year ago be restored. There
will be no threats of a strike nor
peremptory demands, and outsiders
and disturbers will pot be adrsitted
to the councils. Now the miners are
going at things right and they de-
serve success.

That Tammany will not enter into
