our TWELFTH YEAR

With this issue we begin the
twelfth volume of the GRAH AM
GUARDIAN. During the years that
have passed since the paper was
started, none but those responsible
for its maintenance have any idea
of the struggles through which it
has passed. There may be harder
work than establishing a weekly
newspaper in country town and
making out of it "a successful ven
ture, but few ever undertake it.
Through evil as we'll as good re-
port The conntry editor must strug-
gle, work, plan and wait. Every
new paper has a host of friends at
the start, friends whose CHIEF
efforts are directed toward telling
you how the paper ought to be
run, but few of them have faith
enough in you to venture to. assist
financially even to the extent OF
subscribing to and paying for it.
1t is true that we have on our list
many subscribers who started with
the lirst issue and have regularly
paid us each year. Hundreds have
subscribed and never paid dollar.
Some have taken the paper for
years and when we send them a
bill, notify the postmaster that
they don't want the paper any
longer. We today have on our
books near two thousand hard
earned dollars, owed by people
who apparently have no thought
that the editor of paper ever
eats, sleeps or wears clothes. An
editor, that is, country editor is
supposed to own u tree on which
nothing but dollars grow, and all
he has to do, when in want of
money, is to shake the tree aud
the money falls into bis hands or
pockets. We are not complaining,
but we simply want to show the
difficulties under which a country
editor labors N order to make bis
paper success. We have been
through the mill and know the
whole way, from start to success.
We love the business aud expect
to die in the harness, but little
more appreciation Of the efforts
we have made, not alone in our
own behalf, but in the interest of
the people and for the good of
mankind, would make the path
way through life a little more
pleasant if not more profitable.
On this, the first day of our
twelfth year, we wish all our read
ers good luck, and ask that you
who have helped us so far on the
way may stay by us iu the years
to come and that you will at least
speak a kind word for him who
always has kind paragraph for
you and your friends.

propriateness of this, in introduc.
ing the queen to her subj ects,
ripple OF appreciation swept over
the audience. The words she
spoke in greeting her admirers
were few, but extended welcome
to all.
Miss Trainor is strikingly beau.
tlful. With a gentle tilt of dig
nified chin, and smiling black
eyes, about which however her
raven hair, all Offset by her gown,
a real creation" in white, she de-
feated a chance for duplicate as
ruler of the land of a gala week i"
Miss Trainor displayed as much
anxiety as to whether her crown
was on straight" as any other
girl would under similar circum-
stances. After the coronation she
was placed IN carriage, which
appeared to be built of the ma
tiOnal colOrs, with rider before
and merry musical tune, an.

queen as she was whirled down |

distance of half, a mile. Miss
TrainOr is the sister of Mrs. Leo |
