PUBLICATION SUSPENDED
After q Missouri Editor had Told the
Truth in His Paper

A Missouri editor recently announced
that just for one issue he would tell the
truth. Here are a few items from that
issue:

John Doyle, our g~roceryman, is doing
a poor business. His store is dirty aud
dusty and VIGOROUSLY odoriferous.

don't believe any good can come from
such a union.
1t is needless to say that the Issue
