Editor Newell, last week, in one
of his editorials stated that if he
knew how he would add dignity to
the News Item. His kindness de-
serves generous recognition, but if
his purpose was to elicit return
ing compliment from the News
Item, he will be previously disap-
pointed, as the already limited
range of such a possibility has 80
greatly narrowed in the past week
by his failure to obey the mandates
of the law, we will pass the matter
by without further comment.
Explorer Peary is anxious to
make another North Pole expedi-
tion and is looking for capitalist
who will back him to the ex-
tent of $3.50, 900. In view of the
recent cold snap some people think
the less direct communication there
is with the Pole the better.
The Review still insists that the
low prices prevailing at the News
Item Office makes it impossible for
him to say anything that would not
make us appear ridiculous. Will
business men please read our adver-
tisements in the Review, and note
our ridiculous low prices" We
believe it pays to advertise, even in
the Review, and feel very grateful

judgment ought to be of good value.
But he has yet to learn that old
methods, old styles and old war

customers in this advancing age.
But perhaps he is in his dotage, and
has hobby.
Ex-Associate Judge, John S.
Wright of Forksville, died at his
home at that place on Wednesday
Feb. 25, of pneumonia. Beside
filling the position of Associate
Judge, Mr.. Wright served one
term as post master at Forksville,
and at different times was elected
to various Boro Offices which he
held with credit to himself. He
was a man who commanded the re-
spect and esteem of all who knew
him, and his death will be mourn
ed by large circle OF friends. He
was 7S years of age.
The readers of the Review this
week will most likely be served with
a spicy article bordering on a state
of nervous collapse. The editor was
arrested last week by officer Ira Cott
and arraigned before the village mag
istrate to answer q charge of neglect
in cleaning his side walk of snow.
He was nicely reprimanded by the
magistrate and fined $500. This
being big sum to ask of an editor,
the fine was not paid, we are inform
ed, and lawsuit is now under way
which promises well to exhibit no
small amount of unevenness in tenn
