No, We Never Did,

Did you ever think it? Suppose every
business man in each town took as much
interest in the upbuilding of the town as
the newspaper man. He works for rail
roads, manufactures, better roads, good
streets, churches, and hundred and one
other things for the general good; he
urges, pleads, scolds, badgers and CO.
verts around until he gets what he sets
out for. Imagine his feelings, then,
when some unenterprising citizen begins
to talk against the particular improve
ment, either because of jealousy stingi
ness, or some other reason and arrays
opposition where there would otherwise
have been none. Valley Register
You must know that newspaper
man, to some people, are good for no
more than yellow cur dog to be kick
ed, it matters not what is done, yet we
believe that those who lambaste the dogs
are growing scarcer. ED.

The price of gas in Taneytown has been
fixed at 81. rs per 100 cubic feet. The
claim is made for acetylene, that 100 Gu
bic feet of it is equivalent to 1000 cubic
feet of coal gas. If light is little ex-

meet with more general favor, especial
