The SENSIBLE SHOE.
Papers and Periodicals.

B. 7, Cox, editor of the Union Eagle, the
only newspaper published III Union County,
Tennessee, was found dead in his office one
morning early last month. He came to
East Tennessee from Boothbay, Me- The
Ready Print.
Mr.. Cox was for some years editor and
proprietor of the Boothbay Register, and
took his printing material with him when
he went to Tennessee. This is the fl st no.

1t is reported in Bangor that a corporation
is to be formed for the purpose of strength
ening Congressman Boutelle's paper, the
Wing and Courier. The gentlemen interest
ed are Charles A. Boutelle, Edward P.

George Varney, F. w. Aver, Edward Stet-
son, John L. Cutler, E. r. Burpee, j. w.
Palmer, Edward B. Nealley and Franklin
A. Wilson. The first meeting is to be held
on October 14th. 1t is understood that
considerable amount of money is to be i'll
vested i'll the enterprise, and that the Wing
will be fitted out with an entire new plant
including d building to be erected for the
purpose in Harlow street, East Market
square, a set Of linotype machines, and other
things.

In an article on The Business of News
paper in the October Scrbner's it is said of
the Unsuitable demands of the advertiser:
"lf he We're allowed to have his way he
would defect the editorial page and make
the news pages like those of Boston, which
are the worst in appearance in the country.
They let out half the first page to the high
est bidder, keeping for their own scare
heads only the part that lies uppermost
the newsstand; they break the news arti-
cles for advertisements and make the reader
follow story through three or four disor-
derby pages over shoes and under toothpow-
der, ETC." This is unfortunately true. But
only one Boston paper chops up its shipping
news and scatters it over two or three pages
and half a dozen columns. Many in this
section have taken the paper mainly for the
shipping news, which formerly had its regu-
lar position and could be turned to at once,
and to say that they are Disguised with the
present arrangement is expressing it mildly.
