The bitches would benefit the

He's Getting Hot.

We have been a good fellow
long enough, and now we are
gong to turn in right and be a
regular devil until we get some
of those old accounts paid in.
We have been a good fellow
with people who wanted to bor-
row money run in debt for their
paper, have job work done con
tick" and AL of whom are will
ing to let us wait till the crack
of doom for what is justly due
us. All of those old accounts
will be paid us by the first day
of next January or else some of
those fellows will have business
before the justice of the peace
and then they will cease to
think that we are either "easy"
or a "good fellow" Mason
Democrat.
The above is from John Dali
ton, of the Mason Democrat
and it covers the case of three
fourths of the county editors in
the state. The average sub
scriber to weekly paper thinks
the editor is a good fellow and
don't need the money. They only
owe him a "little bit" and it
wont hurt him if he never gets
it. There is no business man
on earth that needs the money
as bad as the editor does. He
has to pay out hard cash every
Saturday night to his help, and
his material for the office is
sold at 80 days only. If every
editor got all the back subscrip-
tions due him there would be
more joy in the editonial fater-
nifty in Iowa than there is in
Heaven when a whole herd of
sinners are saved. Come in
and pay up and see the editor
smile.

ern railroad has rendered a bill
for $50, 600, which it will claim
as damages against the county

document says that the embank-

and fences where they will be
needed. A formal protest is
also filed on behalf of the road.
