There is bond of sympathy between
the small country paper and its readers
which Is impossible to the metropolitan
oaily that covers a wide expanse of ter
rtory and goes into many thousands OF
homes. A great paper is a machine, an
institution which is impersonal, and pub
lished that all who run may read. In
the frenzled rush of city life, the good
and the bad. that which brings tear to
the eye and that which awakens indigna-
tion are all presented to the public's view
as the news" regardless of private feel
ings. There is no place for the kindly,
discursory style of the country editor;
the little joys and sorrows of the people
with which he is so intimately acquainted
are crowded out of the big papers by more
exciting and more important news. There
is none of the playfulness and the home
illness, none of the quaint humor and UNI
expected repartee that creeps into the
columns of the country weekly. The old
fashioned obituary is no longer seen in
city papers-it is too long and takes up
too much room. But still there is a cer-
tain subdued greatness about the man who
sits in his dingy little office, rendering
sympathy to those who are afflicted, Civ
ing praise to those who succeed and
hurting condemnation at those who do
wrong

Rozier Dulaney, Albert E Mclaughlin, Ar
thur s. Mattingly, William M. Terrell Har-
old E. Doyle, Louis P. Shoemaker, George

toe.
The contention of the Commissioners is
that the benefits which result to the re-
mainder of the tracts from which land is
to be taken for the extension win equal the
value of the land to be condemned, and
that, therefore, no damage should be
awarded any OF the owners Of the land to
be taken.
It is understood that the hearing will be
concluded during the present week.
In the matter Of the opening Of connect
ing highways on the east and west sides

ter, John e. Herrell and Clement w. How
