A hundred things happen every week
that the newspaper man never sees or
hears of. While he does the best he
can and keeps his eyes and ears open,
he is only humau-neither omniscient
or omnipresent. You often wonder
why this or that thing is not published,
and maybe you think the editor has
mis- favorites. And he has. They are
the people who are thoughtful enough
to send what news they have to the pa
per or to invite the reporter to come
where the news is.
We hear of a new method of showing
the quantity of milk COW will give.
1t is said that party put soda in the
bottom of his milk bucket, and when
the tactical fluid struck it in regular
stream, foam was created that soon
filled the bucket making the quantity
appear to be much greater than the
real capacity of the COW. 1t is said this
trick was played on purchaser near
Marietta, who watched the COW MIXED.
The alarm of fire Friday was caused
by tenement house in Olinville being
on fire. The roof was ablaze. but Mr..
Simp Jackson climbed up on it and put
out the fire with buckets of water, not,
however, until about four feet square
of the roof was burned off. The house
is owned by Mr.. J. w. Hardeman and
occupied by some colored people.
The servant problem is about to reach
an acute stage. We are informed that
a number of Marietta families have
sent off to secure % white women to
do cooking and house work. 1t will
eventually come to this, as the colored
people are getting more disinclined to
be employed. 1t is too hot, or they are
sick, or they don't have to work.
