The evidence tended to show that
the church building was used by the
federal soldiers for almost the entire
duration of the war. The building
was built in 1858 or 1859, and was as
good as new when the war broke out.
John Robinson, then small boy, sold
pie to the soldiers, and hence was able
to tell that the troops occupied the

To the man who returns his paper
to the Office as silent rebuke be-
cause of some imaginary wrong and
who in his over estimation Of his
own Importance and misguided judg-
ment of human nature, fancies the
editor suffering from lacerated con-
dition of feelings would say that it
has no such effect--fOr in the first
place an editor never worries over a
subscriber except when he leaves the
country witout paying arrearages.
But why not be truthful and say to
the honest newspaper man just what
you feel in your heart. Go into his
den, ask him how much you owe;
pay the delinquency and tel him
frankly that you don't want his dis
reputable, muckrake sheet any long
err. Say to him with tears in your
voice that you deeply regret his in
ability to publish newspaper worthy
the name and advise him to sell his
plant to some man with thimble
full of brains and seek some occupa-
ton that does not require much
wear and tear of mind. Do this and
then you can go away with the COM
forting Assurance that the editor re-
spects you for your candor and will
cherish no hard feelings because you
