STOPPING YOUR PAPER.
lPenbsrvillc LEADER


Sometime ago a cranky sort of indi-
vidual came into this Office and stopped
his paper because something in it did not
just exactly suit his fancy.
We have frequently met him on the
street since then. and it is amusing to
note the look of surprise on the old
mans face when he realizes that, the
editor is still in existence, regardless of
the fact that we no longer get his 81. %.
Some day, however. it will not be
long,-that old gentleman will turn up
his toes. His heart will be stilled for
ever. There will be display of pretty
posies and crepe and the neighbors and
friends will follow his lifeless clay out
to the Silent City and lay it to rest in
the deep dark tomb.
An obituary will be published in this
paper telling what kind husband, low
ing father, good neighbor, beloved citi-
zen, and how progressive and public
spirited he was which the recording
angel will overlook for charity's sake
and in short while he will be forgotten.
AS he lies out there in the cold. cold
graveyard wrapped in the silence of
death, he will never know the last kind
word spoken of. him will, be by. the edi-
torof the paper which he. so ;'spitefully"
stopped. 49,. 5zd' 81 "a.
Have you, gentle reader, ever paused
moment to think that your editor
whoever he may be-will some day
write your obituary? ?.
