and to run top OF column next to
pure reading matter. The ink was
to be shipped at the end of three
years, providing the readers never
missed an insertion or were never
out Of position during that period.
The editor swore and chuchcd
the offer In the waste basket.
At that point the pastor of local
church came In and asked the
editor to publish six columns OF
matter against the saloons OF the
town and showing the terrible
temptations which bcsct ,hc young.
There was nothing said about who
should pay for the composition, so
the editor told the preached to
leave the copy and ho'd see about
II. When tho preacher had gone
the editor stepped into the saloon
next door, shook the box with the
proprietor, stuck him for good
one, took a neat drink and when
he returned to his desk the min
istcr's copy followed the patent
medicine proposition into the
waste basket.
A shadow falls across the pad
upon which the editor Is figuring
up the weekly pay roll. II Is only
Thursday, but that pay roll is
already beginning TO worry him,
and looking up he bcholds matron
Of mature years and angular visagc.
She has discovered that there Is an
80" upside down In piece obitu-
ary poetry shc sent In last week
and she has come TO ASK the editor
to reprint the ode to the dear de-
parted that she may have "cor-
rect" copy for her scrap book.
The ode has been thrown In, but
the editor agrees to do II anyhow,
and as she leaves the once the
editors eyes rest upon n railroad
pass he got twenty nine days ago
and which he has been keeping
until he shall find spare time to
ride. II expires Tomorrow and he
drops It into the waste basket
along with other blightcd hopes.
Again n shadow falls across the
threshold and n lean. lank lawyer
strides into tho presence Of the
editor. Drawing h paper from his
pocket he presents n bill OF si2o.-
~ against the editor from Sand Il
Sugar, the Rroccrs, for immediate
settlement.
"But," said the editor, "Sand h
Sugar owe me more than that for
advertising. We have not settled
for, 10, these many moons"
"Ah," replied the lawyer, dec
Grating the Office floor with an
election Of tobacco Juice. "Then
you have not heard? Sand &
Sugar nre now In the hands OF an
assignee. What you owe them
must be paid In full, what they owe
you will be settled at three cents
on the dollar or less"
as that fair?" murmurs the
editor.
at is the law" replies the law
yer.
Then the editor remembered that
the Cincinnati Fall Festival AS
sociation had offered q prize Of $50
for the best essay on the "Humor-
Gus Side of An Editors Life" and
he took heart and a fresh chew OF
tobacco.
He looked around the dingy
office In search Of something hum
orous to write about and just as he
began to recall a funny incident
that happened away back when he
wasn't the owner Of the paper, he
heard the devil drop gally Of
type he was carrying from q COM
positor's case to the proof press,
and the humor disappeared.
"There Is nothing humorous
about an editors life," he said
with sigh, "unless it be his per.

Sidewalks TO be LAID.

The City Council held a meet
ing last Tuesday night and dis
cussed the sidewalk matter al
length. The result Of the dis
cussion was that the matter was
referred to the Street Commit
tee, Councilmen McClanahan and
w. L. Gardener who were en-
powered to advertise for bids on
the work contem plated. The
manner of having the work paid
for was undetermined but it is
the opinion that the expense will
be shared by the city and prop
erty holders alike, the city fur
nishing the gravel and having
the grading done and the prop
erty holders paying for laying
the walk.
The Street Committee will ask
for bids on sidewalks on the fol
lowing streets College street,
south side, from Mrs. Hopkins ;
corner to ST. Paul's church and
then on both sides to the College
Infirmary; Main street, both
sides, from Hatchett' : warehouse

The people Of the Bigbee Val
ley must revive interest in their
river improvement project this
summer in order that it may be
brought to the attention and con
siderati0n Of Congress at its
next session. The process OF
mergement and consolidation
which is rapidly bringing the
country to dependence upon
the railroads renders the inaugu-
ration of this enterprise more
important than ever, and the
people of this great section
should unite and work for this
end until it is accomplished. A
navigable river will solve the
question of rates and railroads
and place our vast commercial
interests in a position of inde-
pendence towards them.
