FIRST SHERIFF TO SETTLE.

Sheriff Shinn, of Jackson, was in
the city today to make final settle
ment with the state auditor. Mr..
Darst paid Mr.. Shmn nice compli-
ment by declaring he was the first
sheriff of the So in the state to make
his settlement. When Mr.. Shinn was
asked how he came to be able to close
his accounts 50 early he said: "Oh,
| just went after them and closed up,
and never wrote a letter in doing it.
In fact, he said, 81 hardly know
how to write letter"
Mr.. Shinn did not seem to think
he had accomplished anything out OF
the ordinary, but the fact that he is
about a month ahead of the time
when the auditor expects to begin to
hear from the sheriffS makes it out
of the ordinary.-Charlesto Cores

TO FRATERNAL LODGES.

Some few newspapers in the state
are furnished news, notes, times of
meeting, special work, ETC., of the
fraternal organizations in their midst.
but glance at the papers published
in this section shows that no such
interest is taken. Probably not one
editor in a thousand but what be-
longs to some of these organizations,
but is generally an absentee when
the roll is called and therefore
knows nothing of its proceedings.
The secretary of these lodges are
generally supposed to furnish the
floor work news to the public,
but their duties are confning and
lily paid, generally, and so do not
care to add to their labor by furn-
ishing public information; but the
Register would be pleased to have
news of this sort,

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The Mason County Institute will
convene at Point Pleasant, on Aug.
e3rd. We hope to see the enrolment
of school officers on Thursday even
larger than last years enrolment.
Teachers, we want to do more prac-
teal work and to do you more good
this year than heretofore. We are
at home. Go not be timid. Come
with the intention of asking for in
formation you need and with the in
tention of taking part in the dis
cussion.
Instructors assigned to this county
are: T. J. Humphrey, NJ. F. An
Andrew and Mrs. Margaret Bryan.
Very sincerely submitted,

The printers devil was making
up his first form. The paper was
late and the boy got the galleys
mixed. The first part of the obitu-
airy notice of a pecunious citizen had
been dumped in the form and the
next handful of type came off the
galley describing recent FIRE. 1t
read like this. The pail bearers
lowered the body into the grave and
it WAS consigned to the flames.
There were few if any regrets, for
the old wreck has been an cyesore to
the town for years. OF course there
was individual loss, but that was
fully covered by insurance. The
widow thinks the editor wrote the
obituary that way because the la
mented partner of her joys owed him
five years subscription.

TO MARX SITE OF JAMES MEALS FORT.

great grandsons of Capt. Jas. Neale,
the founder OF Parkersburg, will 90
over on the South Side in few DAYS
to locate and mark the site of the
original fort built there in 1885 by
their ancestor. They have ample
data for locating the site and ex-
pected to 90 today, but the heat and
a business engagement prevented
them.
After the site IS marked it would
be in order for the Daughters OF
American Pioneers or some other pa
triotic and historical society to ar

COUNTRY EDITOR.

How does the small town editor
make the newspaper he does, is a
question that has been often asked
and never answered in but one way,
says the Geauga, o., Record.
BY hard work. He is his own ed
itor, reporter, business manager,
foreman, mailing clerk, and frequent
ly compositor. Alone, or with an
assistant he turns out every week a
paper which perhaps is not brilliant,
still contains all the news of the To-
cality.
The paper has an influence far
greater in proportion to its circula-
ton than any of the great metropol-
itan dailies, and it has done more to
educate and reform the people than
the churches and public schools.
The overworked country editor is
not properly appreciated, for he does
more for the community in which he
lives than any other individual. He
must have a firm belief in reward
hereafter, or his nerve would desert
him early in his career.

A GREAT CHESTNUT.

There is probably no man engaged
in the newspaper business in the
state who is not acquainted with the
man whose excuses for disseminating
his subscription is that he already
has more papers than he can read.
1t is only an excuse offered to ame-
liorate the presumed lacerated condi-
ton of the editors feelings. 1t has
no such effect, for in the first place
an editor never worries over the loss
of a subscriber except when he leaves
the county without paving up arrear-
ages. But why not be truthful and
say to the honest newspaper man
just what you feel in your heart: Go
into his den, ask how much you owe,
pay delinquency, and tell him frank
ly that you don't want his disrepu-
table BLACKBOARD sheet any longer.
Say to him in sorrowful tone of
voice that you deeply regret his in
ability to publish paper worthy the
name and advise him to sell his plant
to some man with a thimbleful of
brains and seek some occupation
which does not require much wear or
tear of mind. Do this and then you
can go away with the comforting as
surance that the editor respects you
for your candor and will cherish no
hard feelings because you choose to
borrow his paper instead of buying it.
