SOME DUTIES OF THE EDITOR.
What People Expect of That Beast
of Burden.
S. McGARRAH.

The editor of a newspaper has
no business to make mistakes; has
no business to even get anything in bis
paper that people do not like. He
ought to know just what would suit
each individual, or he ought to take
each item before it is published and
let the person whom it concerns censor
it. An editor has plenty of time to do
all this, and all he has to do is to hunt
news and clean rollers, set type, clean
the floor, pen short items, hustle for
advertising, fold papers and wrappers,
talk to visitors and distribute type,
read proof and correct mistakes, dodge
the bills and dun delinquents, and
take GUESSING, and tell the subscribers
that he needs money,

HIS INVENTION GREAT INDEED,
Americas Negro Will Make Fortune
Therefrom.

Some time ago the Times Recorder
described at length the invention of an
Americus colored man, Thomas West
heimer, whereby the burned-out bot
toms of CRATES can be replaced at
tritiing cost instead of throwing away
the entire CRATE basket, as heretofore.
Westheimer has at last secured letters
patent and is preparing to put his
CRATE on the market. Experts have
pronounced it a household necessity,
and Westheimer expects to realize
handsomely upon his "grate" device.
He left yesterday for Birmingham for
the purpose of contracting for the
manufacture of his CRATE upon large
scale. Hundreds of them will be used
here in Americas.
