THE EDITOR WAS RUN
OUT OF TOWN.

Stranger-So you have no paper in
this town?
Native-No, sir. We did have one
once, but it wasn't run right, and We
was glad to git rid of it.
I What was the matter?
WAL, in the fust place, the edit
or didn't alters treat folks right. He'd
call one gal young and handsome and
slurringly refer to another gal just
as pretty, leavin' it ter be inferred
she wasn't pretty enough ter be called
handsome, and she might be as old
as Methuse-lah. WAL, that made
trouble; an after that, when Farm
er Hayseed and Farmer Fallow both
left the same sort of stuff on his
table, he gave Fallow two lines more
than the other"
Eyes"
WAL, things kept gittin' wuss and
wuss, until Gineral Oldham up on
the hill died, and got half a column
obituary notice, all about the civil
war and things, while my Uncle Jake,
just as good man, who never left
the farm, but tended to his duties
like Christian, an was a pillar
in the church, got only quarter of
column. You better believe me an
my friends felt hurt"
Il suppose So"
WAL, we begun inquiring around
about this editor, and we diskivered
that, while he was chargin' us fer
every little two-line advertisement we
put in, he was printin' hull col
umn about his job Office for nothing.
That raised a breeze, l tell YOU"

After that things come to head
The Teller commenced stoppin' the

subscriptions. Then we rose in our
