The Forty-Fiftb State.

Do you know how many States
there are in the Union? No, of
course not. No one knows except
school children and congressman
and fag-makers. Every four years
the political arithmaticians learn
the number in the process of fig,.r-
ing up the presidential election re-
turns, but they forget again almost
Immediately. This years United
States flag will have forty-6ve stars,
the latest being for Utah, which
becomes a State on the 4th of next
July. Utah will get into the flag
six months or more before she gets
into the Union. She is to be rep
resented in the new flags of regi-
mental colors that Secretary La
mont has ordered for the army.
Her star in the official flag goes to
the right of the fourth row from
the top.-Harper's Weekly.

An exchange says it pays to keep
on the right side of newspaper
men. Every newspaper treasures
up in its memory the names of its
friends and likewise of it's enemies.
It never overlooks an opportunity
to assist the former, but never goes
out of the way to assist the latter.
Human nature is the same every
where. People who show news
paper man kindness never make q
better investment, or one that more
surely repays them an hundred
fold, sooner or later. AS has been
truly said: there occasionally
comes a time in the life Of every
man when q word said by news
paper either makes or unmakes
the individual mentioned"

We this week give place to letter
from Clerk W. L. Shackelford. in which
he essays to contradict or explain some
OF the statements that have appeared in
these columns. While it is quite cheeky
for him to request this at our hands at q
time when We are crowded for space, and
that, too, while he has a whole news
paper at his command, still we have never
yet failed to give man fair showing.
and therefore strain point for him to
b, heard. We shall not take up time
and space to answer any OF his denials
or explanations, rs there are scores of
witnesses to the matters he refers to, and
they can be relied upon to abundantly
establish the absurdity of his claims,
upon which the people are shortly to
pass.
