To Editor Bob White, we sincerely
hope and trust his shadow may never
grow less. For many years he has
been q true friend Of. ours, at various
times saving our life when we were
about half sick"-just on the verge
Of a "yawning precipice |" Col. White
has just returned home from Wash
ington, d. @, where he transacted
business with Congress. During his
stay In Washington be took time to
step into q swell tailor shop and leave
an order for a suit OF clothes for his
friend, Dill, for valuable services
the said Dill has rendered the Great
Religious Daily and Weekly during
the year just closing. 1t is said the
cloth OF which the said suit Is to be
made is Of the Joe Folk and Champ
Clark stripe. We had much rather
the cloth had been Of the James A.
Reed stripe. but will let II go at that.
When the robins nest again we hope
to don the aforesaid suit and hand out
TO our friends q little touch of high
life. Long may the great editor and
generous promoter live and prosper.

The hustling and gentlemanly re-
porters on the LEDGER are Messrs.
Mitchell White, James Edwards and
Joe Cauthorn We extend to them
the glad -. The boys have an eye
that never sleeps and wear noses for
news that few pencilpushers can
excel. Mr.. Cauthorn also acts in the
capacity Of business manager of the
paper. All deserve to wear a golden
crown when they cross the great
divide" Neither are married, but
the manner of their cspers, just at
this time, would indicate that the
entire bunch will become benedicts
before the closing of another year.
Mitchell, James and Joe are gallant,
handsome and brave, and the young
ladies who are SO exceedingly lucky as
ITO steal or win the hearts" OF these
three young heroes will get "peaches.
May the good Lord bless them.
In the job rooms and In the compos.

assistants are artists. His first as
sistant, Mr.. V. Lee Miller, steps aside
for no printer, tno matter what the

amore OF the Wabash" Mr.. Miller
