The fact that a newspaper has said

Of this country has led me to have for

Dor They should receive the most
cordial cooperation Of the rank and

They are really very human. They
are glad to receive helpful suggestions.
They expect the knocks and they
are not disappointed But there are
other ways Of boosting the labor press

told that he has said or done good

about IT.

eats the same kind OF food that the

Some OF us have apparently concluded
that he lives on ink. But even ink
costs money. And the market price is
advancing. He wears the same kind

kind Of a landlord.

Damages From Heavy Rains.

The friends of Mr.. P. Il. Saltel
regret that he has sustained con
siderable loss by having the dam
of his large pond near Trenton
very materially damaged by the
heavy rains of last week. We do
not know to what extent it will
interfere with his grist mill, but
if be is forced to close down,
there are many mouths in Edge
field that will miss the excellent
meal that MIR. Salter has been
delivering in our town.
Another loss OH account Of the
flood OF last week, was the drown
ing of horse in Anderson branch
not far from Hardy's church. A
Jewish peddlor who carried his
stock-iu-trade through the coun-
try in wagon, instead of on his
back as in olden times, drove in
to the stream with the result that
his horse was drowned. The driv-
er and owner Of the animal be-
came frightened and escaped from
the rear end of the wagon without
cutting the unfortunate horse
loose.
