The Cumberland Ne,os made up Il
list of "some of the things for which
Uncle Sam comes to Allegauy county"
r. ID. Wilson, uperintendent of the
Cumberland Paper company, called
the Nescs down on this Tuesday, in
forming that paper that it failed to
mention one commodity, and that one
the most mportant-paper." Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Wilson wrote
During the past week the Cumberland Paper
company have shipped two car loads of
paper for government use. The money value
of the regular weekly shipments of paper
from the Luke mills to Uncle Sam is more
than the Coal Iron, Enameled Brick and
Cement combined.
The Ne0s, very truthfully no doubt,
explained its reference to the com
modify matter as "hasty and incom-
plete," but what i, means by the
pertinent half of its closing paragraph
is not plain in the light of some other
views it holds:
1t surely ought to be matter of pride that
so many of this cOunty's products find favor
with Uncle Sam.

to be is the Ne,cs proud" of prod
uct of surprising value whose plant

TOWN AND VICINITY.
What Might Have Been.

The Savannah (Ga.) Ne~s quotes
from "a letter by Coils ?. Huntingdon
the following paragraph:
Virginia is a State for which | have more
honest regard and affection than for any
other State in the Union, because it has treat
ed me with consistent and uniform fairness
and liberalty.
This is bad news for Johnnie, who
can't forgive the old State for bestow
ing upon him the supreme endowment
of American citizenship.
1t was the old State which, in its day
of power. broke the backbone of the
movement which aimed to keep John
ME out of America.
But for the old State, therefore. he
might be an East Indian, Australian,
or South African, engaged IN the
ignoble work of subduing the free
Beers to the rule of monarchy. instead
of lording it over an ugly marble-yard,
u pretty cemetery and u so-called news,
DaDer.
