The Editor And HIS Work.

Holland S Magazine furnishes this
tribute which applies equally as well
to the country press generally, as to
the rural press of Texas to which it
is dedicated.
But it is among the small local
papers--the so-c called country press -
that the hardest workers and hard
est worked people in the newspaper
business are everywhere found. They
give freely of their time, energy and
space to the upbuilding of their own
communities more often than other
wise without hope of any direct fl
ancial returns. They labor untiring-
ly week after week, month after
month, and year after year, encomr-
aging the timid, upholding the weak,
giving faith TO the strong, looking
always to the building of new enter
prises, to tue progress and advance.
ment of their towns and counties.
In the daily field a man may be.
Gomez distinguished editor without
ever sticking a line of type or know
ing whether the rollers on the press
es are made of molasses or cast iron
each man on daily becomes a
specialist in his own line and cor
Germs himself not with the affairs of
other departments. Not SO with the

alta moment S notice be ready to ref

cal convention or lead a prayer meet
ing. Incidentally he must keep the
printers supplied with copy, Loo; af-
ter his piano contest and collect his
advertising bills. PRO Bono Pub
leo, with an AK to grind Fair
Play, who wants to hit the ether
fellow over the head without making
his own name public, the editor must
send away satisfied. The man who
drops in with half a column of free adj

he must meet with smile, and to
to the committee from the Ladies
Aid he must explain-if he can-why
two tickets to the church social do
not pay for the insertion of IA read
ing notices. scattered among pure
reading matter
Above all he must have faith-flith
in his town. in his people, in himself.
Without it all else is vain. In red
clay hills he must see mountains of
mineral wealth, and in his sight al
kali plains must sparkle with limpid
streams of living water. A dreamer?
Perhaps. But he hustles while he
dreams.
Texas owes much to the zeal. the
tireless energy and the public spirit
of the big hearted, loyal editors of
her country papers-the foot soldiers
in her great army of improvement.

There's no sense in abusing and be-
rating the Vicious niggers, and spar
ing the lax principled white shop
keepers who sell them villainious
mean whiskey cocaine and morphine,
TO the use of which liquor and drugs
can, as truthfully recently said the
Mayor of Atlanta, be traced many OF
the crimes at which the country
stands aghast. We are glad that our
local drug is managed by man
who rigidly refuses TO sell the habi-
tues their supplies of the horrtd dope
or Coke just as you may call it.
The masses should watch this more
closely in the rural portions and give
such an offending druggist or vender
imperative notice to desist.

A HOME that is not home is a
school of vice. Domestic love leads
to all noble virtues, but discord or
coldness in the home genders selfish
ness and badness. Despotism in the
family is the most common and worst
in all the earth. Family government
is not parental tyranny. Govern
ment is good, loving cordial, help
full, joyous, its yoke easy and burden
light, but parental tyranny is harsh,
exacting, cruel, discouraging aud
gendereth meanness. We have fairs
to improve mechanism, stock, farm
ing and fine arts; measures to i'm
prove homes are a thousand times
more important. Here is where the
right kind of men are made

There are so many commendatory
expressions pouring in upon us be-
speaking the appreciation of the eff

question to attempt to make mention
of them all. 1t may be needless but
still we want to say that we like to
hear these. not because it tickles
our vanity spot. for we lend no en-
eouragement to that part of our
makeup, but because it tells us wheth-
er we are pleasing our readers or
not, and thus keeps the paper in

that a longer time is allowed for a trip
