1t may be true that some of the
penurious editors, who are criticising
Gov. Taylor because he finds it neces-
sary to deliver few lectures to enable
him to make both ends meet, might be
able to get along on the gubernatorial
salary, but they seem to forget that
Gov. Taylor was once editor of The
COMET, and as such began life in such
manner that he finds it impossible to
properly provide for even the family of
a governor on such an allowance. Tell
us, if you please, what editor of The
COMET would accept such a paltry
salary except for the good of his coun-

or for worse;to have, to hold, to fondly
guard till hauled off in hearse? Wilt
thou let her have her way, consult her

OBITUARY.


Little Hubert A. Pippin, only child
of Charles and Garry Pippin, died
Sept. IA, 1897, aged 8 years, s months,
and 8 days. He was the idol of fond
afiectionate parents, to whom God give
him for so short time. The angle of
death plucked this little flower from a
sad and desolate home, to decorate the
courts of glory. Jesus said, "Suffer
little children, to come unto me, for
such is the kingdom of heaven" We
laid the little body to rest in the grave,
to await the resurrection morn; but the
angels bore the spirit to the mansions
above. G. G. SToCKER.
