How to Kill a Newspaper.

How to Kill Newspaper.
The following receipt is offered by a
Western paper:
Just let the subscription go. It's
only a dollar or two-the publisher
don't need it.
If he asks for it, get mad as you can
and stop the paper-you never read it
anyhow. Then go and borrow your
neighbor's.
When the reporter comes always be
busy. Make him feel as if he were in
truding. When the advertising and
Job man comes tell him you don't need
to advertise-everybody knows you, that
you will try to get along without any
printed stationery-it is too expensive
you must economic.
Never drop in to see the editor un-
less you want free complimentary
notice or lengthy obituary for be-
loved relative. Never recommend the
paper to anybody. When you do speak
Of it say Eyes, we have little sheet
but it don't amount to much" Keep il
up year or two and you will have q

Polk Miller.

Polk Miller.
Polk Miller gave one of his unique
entertainments here Saturday night for
the benefit of the military company.
The weather was quite Indictment and
the night an unfortunate one Tor such
an entertainment, the business men be-
ing engaged in their stores, tor the
most part but good audience greeted
him. Though Mr.. Miller had lectured
here before, the people were anxious to
hear him again.
For an hour and half he kept his
audience convulsed with laughter at
his stories of the old time darkey In the
South.
Mr.. Miller has attained almost q ma.
tional reputation as an imitator Of the
old time Southern plantation negro
and his popularity grows with every
artartainment. There is no man be
fore the American people. perhaps, who
can entertain an audience alone better
than Polk Miller.

Sent to jail.
F. M. Mobrey was before Mayor
Perry Tuesday under warrant charging
him with stealing an overcoat from
Joshua Bell more than year ago. 1t
seems that Mobrey borrowed the coat
and never returned it. Bell had him
arrested and brought before Mayor
Perry, and the case was postponed for
a day.
Mobrey then took out a warrant
against Bell charging him with selling
him (Mobrey) whiskey by the small
without license. This case was dis
missed, and then Bell had Mobrey ar
rested under charge OF perjury. This
case was tried before Justice b. E.
Hancock, and Mobrey was bound over
to court, and not giving bond was sent
to jail.
