The following from the Strawberry
Point Mail Press will be of interest to
John H. Cameron's many friends in this
city: "John ii. Comeron was recently
united in marriage at Livingstone, Ken
lucky, with Miss Edna M. DeBaum, a
daughter of one of Springfeld's, Mo-,
business men. the groom has many
friends in this city, who extend con-
CALCULATIONS. We understand that the
newly welded pair will make their
home in Kentucky.
This actually happened, according
to one veracious South Dakota paper:
Rubber often leaves wrong impress.
sion. A gentleman walking down the
street the other day passed lady car
rying pretty baby; its beauty attracted
his attention and he naturally turned to
get last glimpse of the baby when the
mother screeched rubber" Finding
himself 80 beaten he politely tipped his
hat and remarked: pardon me; l
thought it was real baby"
-Pierpont Signal: Langford, 1T is
said, has three of the stingiest men on
record. The first will not drink as
much water as he wants unless it comes
from neighbours we'll. The second
forbids any member of his family to
write anything but small hand as it is
waste of paper to make large letters.
The third stops the clock at night to
save the wear and tear of the machin-
cry. All of them refuse to take a news
paper on the ground that 1t is such a
strain on the spectacles to read.
Under date of Dec. 3oth, James p.
Ball, of Delaware, who with his wife is
spending the winter at Hammond, La,
writes us, "this is bright sunny morn
ing after our snow storm. The 2sth 1t
showed from ito inches, which was a
surprise to the natives. 1t has been
very cold here for this country, and all
the garden stuff has been killed. So it
seems it was not the heat, but the Sc.
we're cold weather, that caused friend
Sherwood to pack his baggage, aban
don Hammond, and go to Florida. A.
NJ, honor bright now, how is the wealth
er down in the Peninsular state?
1t is interesting to watch ourselves
and others and see human mature"
turn up SO promiscuously now and
then. A paper will say nice things
about man to fare you we'll, and he
takes 1t as his just due. If that same
paper makes slight criticism of this
! particular man, he is is apt to 60 into
the air, and talk about dams and things
of that description in connection with
the paper. And the editor is cut off
the same piece of stuff For instance
his laundry may be as fine as silk for
long period, and then when he gets
saw edge under his chin he will kick

"A newspaper is funny thing-it's
kind of charitable institution estab-
lished for the benefit of the people. The
editor don't need any sympathy or mon
ey or biscuits. He can have an intel
lectual feast everytime he gets hungry.
In the winter he can make his paper
red hot. He can tell the truth and be
horse whipped or lie and not be thank
ed. He can't make mistake-he is in
fallible. His clothes don't wear out
be needs only one suit. He must pub.
ish everything good that has your
name connected with it, and suppress
The bad. He must tell your side of the
story. He must tell what fine horse
you have and not mention the baking.
When you have taken the paper five
years without paying for it, thank him,
and have it stopped, God loveth cheer
'ul giver. lex.
Warning comes from Gil parts of
