There is little nonsense in the fol-
lowing item: Running newspaper is
one of the most unpleasant business
engagements man can possibly find.
This week something is printed that
makes your neighbor tear his hair
while you smile. Next week you tear
your hair while your neighbor smiles,
and the next week you both smile
while you proceed to tear the editors
hair. One continual round of pleasure
Is this newspaper business.
If this paper is . little short on
local city news this week, we believe q
glance at our advertising columns will
afford an ample excuse. Early last
week the advertisements "came pilin
in on us" and they have been CON-
ing ever since, so that much to our re-
gret, we were compelled to refuse some
of those who were among the last. We
had worked our force night and day
for a week, doubled the size of oul
paper to accommodate the advertisers
and just about struck the limit of capa'
city, and still they kept coming
However. we will be in condition tt
accommodate all next week, will issue
sixteen pages $500 copies, and send
them to all parts Of the county. There
never was better advertising medium
issued In the. county, aud our mer'
chants are approaching the fact.
