Winslow had justice of the peace
in it's palmy days, who dealt out JUS
tice according to his needs of stake
to sit in poker game. A railroad
brakeman, in fourishing a razor at one
time, let the instrument, by accident,
of course, come in contact with citi-
zen of the Flowery Kingdom, imme-
diately underneath the chin, as con-
sequence the Celestial was almost be-
headed. The razor man was arrested.
His friends prevailed on the justice to
postpone the case until the following
day, to give them an opportunity to
"dig up" Another payday was almost
at hand, and, of course, the boys were
"short on dinero," but they managed
to scrape together $65, which they de-
livered to the judge, with the assur-
ance that it was all they could raise
owing to the time of month. The case
was called. The Judge adjusted his
glasses-looked wise and assumed more
than his customary dignity-turned
page after page with the utmost so-
lemnity, and finally said: II can find
nothing in the statutes in regard to
killing Chinaman The prisoner is
discharged" The Judge retired by the
back door of his office and in few
moments was in the "Rat-Pit" deeply
engrossed in game of draw The judge
in question has passed over the divide,
and the publication of the above can
do him no harm,

A newspaper reporter is largely de-
pendent upon the people of the COM
munity for information concerning
current events. He cannot manufac-
ture local news out of the whole cloth,
says an exchange. He can only gather
and present such items as come under
bis own observation, or such as are fur
nished him by communicative and ac-
commoaating people. If, as the habit
of some people is, news is withheld
from him, either because of thought
lessness, Indifference or proper ap-
probation of what is due the represen-
tative of reputable journal, he GER
tainly cannot be blamed for not re-
cording it. There are enough local
happenings, even in small town, al
most every day to make one, two or
three columns of readable and inter-
esting gossip, if those who are posted
would take the trouble to make them
known, and, by this, we do not mean
scandal. No decent paper cares for
such news, but legitimate news. Many
occurrences strike some people as too
trivial to repeat to reporter. That,
however, is a mistake; anything that
would, momentarily, arrest the atten-
tion of an average citizen is worthy a
place in the local columns of news
paper. And, if for 10 other reason
than to keep ones neighbors posted in
what is going on about them, every day,
people should avail themselves of the
opportunity to give the newsgatherer
the "feeting item," and take some lit.
tie pains to see him, and, at least, not
compel them to suction-pump news out
of him. All papers appreciate any such
courtesy shown by people who keep
their eyes and ears open.

'I can't see how any family lives
without Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and :Diarrhea Remedy" says J. R.
Adams, we'll known druggist, of Gen
eva, Ala, in a letter inquiring the price
of dozen bottles, that he might not
only have it for use in his own family
but supply it to his neighbors. The
reason some people get along without
it, Els because they do not know its
value, and what vast amount of suf-
fering it will save. Wherever it be-
comes known and used it is recognized
as necessity, for it is the only remedy
that can always be depended upon for
bowel complaints, both for children
and adults. For sale at Winslow drug
store.
