The INTERIOR JOURNAL did not ap.
pear Tuesday. We deeply sympathize
with Editor Walton In his misfortune
and hope the quarantine against him
will soon be lifted d.--Shelbyville Senti-
mel.
Editor Walton's hundreds Of friends
all over Kentucky will be glad to know
that the small pox case at Stanford
caused him no more serious trouble
than to delay one issue of this popular
paper. two or three days.-Louisville
Post.
E.itor w. +. Walton's paper. the |
INTERIOR JOURNAL, was denied the
privilege OF the mails Tuesday morn
ing, owing to a smallpox patient in
that newspapers buildpg. However,
the JOURNAL came out few days later
as bright and healthy as ever.-Elkton
Progress.
The INTERIOR JOURNAL came TO
hand Wednesday looking none the
worse for having gone through the fu-
migating machine. STAFFORD undoubt-
edly must be trying to keep pace with
Middlesboro, but IL they succeed they
will have to develop more than one

Editor Walton had the bad luck to
/ have a case OF smallpox break out next
door to his office and the authorities
from going into the mails for day or
two, but after general fumigation of
the surroundings, the paper Is coming
again aud we are d.-Somerset Par
agon.
This spiteful paragraph is from the
Harrodsburg Democrat: Having heard
that case Of smallpox had broken out
in the room next to Editor Walton's
sanctum in Stanford, we had expected
20 extract the INTERIOR JOURNAL from
our mail with a pair Of tongs. But the
stanford postmaster refused TO receive
the paper, and Walton is disconsolate.
because the omission, breaks his record
of continuous publication.
Editor Walton, of the Stanford In
TERROR JOURNAL, who takes occasion
every Christmas to roast those of his
rural contemporaries who do not issue a
paper during the holidays, has come to
grief at last. A tenant in the INTER
IoR JOURNAL building has smallpox
and the postmaster has notified Wal
ton that his paper can not go through
the mails until all danger is passed.
His brethren OF the State press deeply
sympathize with him, but there will
not be a rush to read the |. j. for some
time after the embargo is removed
Glasgow News.
The ancient and honorable village of
Stanford is all agog. A case of small
pox has broken out, and worst OF all,
the germs had the unmitigated nerve
to invade the hallowed precpcts of the
INTERIOR JOURNAL. We regret to see
our sister city in this plight, and sin
cerely hope that the disease will spread
no further. This is the first time in %
years that the |. j. missed an issue,
which is a splendid record for a country
paper. -Middlesboro Record.
The spread OF smallpox contiues, its
latest invasion involving the suspen-
sion, temporarily, of that splendid pa
per, the Semi Weekly INTERIOR Jour-
NAL, at Stanford. A case having been
discovered in an occupant OF room
in tae INTERIOR JOURNAL building,
the postmaster declined to receive the
paper for distribution locally or by
mail routes. 1t Is to be hoped that the
suspension will be as speedily set aside
as possible, as there is no paper in
Kentucky more ably, iudustriously and
honestly edited or has wider influence
than that edited by William L. Walton,
the founder and builder OF the model
newspaper of Kentucky, Mr.. Walton
may console himself with the reelection
that il took the smallpox and Uncle
Sam conformity TO force even temporary
addiction.
