 A gentleman in town has received a letter from a prominent newspaper concern in Washington, informing him that in few days a man from that city will interview him concerning some important government compila- invest in some books which have been issued from the government printing office. In this connection 1t may be of interest to learn that on Thursday the House of Representatives at Wash ington ordered the destruction of 10.- VUU tons OL government dOcuIn0IlIS, among them messages to Congress from various Presidents. It is well known that those who wish can get hold of government publications for little or nothing, in Washington, and then they can peddle them around the country for whatever anybody will pay.
