The Moon Ceases TO Shine.

Less than two years ago the
first edition of "The Moon" a
paper published at Atlanta, Ga,
made its appearance in the jour
nalistic field, with Prof. w. E.
B. DuBoise as editor, and in his
salutation many things were said
which he expected to accomplish,
and if he has done that we will
let the people be the Judge; but
one thing is sure it has suspend
ed publication.
The Moon had not been shining
for many month and we are sorry
it reached its last quarter SO soon.
A number of people can write a
good Grafton or essay and then
read it, but every we'll educated
man cannot conduct successfully
a newspaper. It takes more than
editorials to publish a paper.
We are waiting to see if Bro.
Trotter of the Guardian or Tay-
lor of the Broad Ab will write a
suitable epitaph for the demise
of their co-worker publication.
