Up to Thursday morning the weather
this week has been extremely eGol, cloudy
and disagreeable. Sunday morning tile
mercury dropped 10 20 and again 10 81
Monday morning. In spite of this no

newspaper, would create a commotion
, little dreamed OF. What to report and
what not to report often pcrpioXes the
, local editor. He is often nnjustly ac-
cused of c0weydice and favoritism, when
all the time he is looking toward the
, good reputation OF the town where his
+ lot is cast. The local editor from neces.
sity almost constantly finds himself be
tween two fires, and whichever way he
turns he is sure to be unjaslly treated.

town to send the children home at 8 p.

much in the plan to commend and yet
it has its objections. Strictly speaking
