THE TALK OF TIE DAY.

A country exchange has this to say about printing
all the news:
"a man stopped US on the street the other day
and said we did not publish ell the news. We
should say not In the first place, there's somebody
else depending on for a living. If we published
all that happened we would be with the angels.
In order to please the people we must print only
the nice things said Of them and leave the rest to
gossip Yes, it's fact, we don't print all the news
If we did, wouldn't it be spicy reading? But 1t
would be for one week only The next week you
would read obituary. and there would be new
face in heaven. All the news is all right when it
is about the other fellow"
