AN EDlTOR'S NOVEL SCHEME.

The Georgia Editor is usually a live
and ingenious kind of cuss, La the
quiet and peaceful village OF Reds
willie, the capital of Tatnall county, is
weekly seen the novelty of newspa
per printed by horse. So far as is
known there is nothing just like 1t
anywhere else in the country, and the
horse pressman attracts great deal
of attention from visitors.
The plan to have horse turn cog
wheels that, with the aid of a pulley,
will put q printing press in motion
and actually print newspaper is en-
t,relv original with Eiitor Folsom OF
the Tatnall Journal. Unable to get
steady and reliable negro to turn his
uresses Editor Folsom was forced to
experiment with the horse, and>press-
ed his faithful buggy animal into ser
vice. Now he could not be induced tC
make a change. He has found it sc
successful that he believes before
great while all of the country editori
will be going to press with the aid OF
horse, or mule, or an ox-or per
chance a jackass, If that is not already
occasionally the case.
Hats off to the editor of the Tatnal
Journal and his pressman.
