Some of the weekly newspapers
that come to our exchange table
are suggestive of the idea that a
tombstone factory would be a
profitable industry in the towns
where they are published, as
everything seems to be dead ex-
cept the newspaper, and it is I'M
derstood by great many people
that a newspaper can live on wind
and rain-water. A wise business
man will always be known by his
large advertisement, patronized
for his liberal bargains, respected
for his good judgment and honest
dealings and remembered by his

the fact that it pays them to be
so.

From the newspaper accounts
it seems that Gov. Longino and
