 A man told us the other day that we did not publish all the things that hap. pened. We should say that we don't. In the first place, we have others who depend on us for living. If we pub lished all that happened we should soor be with the angels In order to please the people we must print only the nice things about them and leave the rest tc the goesips.

The next week you would read our obituary, and there would be another editor in heaven.
