Our steamed coaborcr, Corky - he
of the Winona Times announces that
he is about to HE him to the southland
with the state editorial association. He
really proposes to minglc with IA crowd of
surc-cn0ugh editors and pass himself off
as II member of the guild. But the youth
could do much better than to waste his
time galivnnting around Dixie land.
These are the precious moments of his
boyhood. In a few years he'll be man
in age, at lcast--and cannot then be
educated at the expense Of the state,
They will have IA good teacher at Winone
this winter, and Corky would m much bet

This has been pretty good season in
the way OF collecting subscriptions. A
great many Of our subscribers have paid
up; but we regret to say that q half-dOZen
or so have Cit OUT without leaving us a
lock of their hair or a photo. A number
OF subscribers have written for state
ment Of account; and this week and next
we will send out statements to all who
arc in arrears. One thing we have
noticed, and that is that many subscri-
bcrs prefer to walt until they can pay
few cents for money order or to
register Il letter. Bills agyrcgating some
5000 will be sent out. Most Of these are
for small amounts, but the receipt of the
total would he Il big lift to the publisher.
| And we sincerely hope that those who
| owe us for the paper, which we have
faithfully sent week after weck--and
in some cases year after year - will
promptly respond. Of course we would
rather have the cash but we have
| number Of swine that seem to be able to
eat their weight in grub everv day, and
therefore we will willingly take wheat,
corn, oats, rye, or barley at cents less
than the price at the rnilroad, and it costs
more than that to haul it there. Now,
| friends, do not cast your statements of
| account aside; and, above all things,
don't let your youngest kid do as ours
did with Ben Corbln's cditorlal-eat it
up.
