FROM THE FIELD.


One day last week | met sub
scriber and called his attention to
the fact that his time was out, He
very promptly and emphatically in
formed me that he did not care for
the paper any longer. While did
not ask him for any reason and was
not very curious about 1t, he volun-

He is doubtless a pretty good fell
low and possibly makes pretty
good citizen, but is mental dyspep-
tic and can hear only such ideas as
exactly agree with his preoonceived
opinion. He Is always, In his own
conceit, exactly right on all ques-

To get back 10 the original sYb-

marily to publish the happenings
OF the country, boost the town
where published, advertise business
and II the editor happens to have
an opinion he usually has something

politics, So to such as are mental dys

that II your tender sensibilities can
bear such shocks az the news and

county paper, read the news and let
