latch-strng is out
OF course, some will accept both
'home" and ''old home" tributes as ten
dered in kindness and gentleness-as
perfunctory rather than sincere.
But in each instance, all unsought the
JOURNAL has unquestionable reason TO
esteem them AS expressions of compe-
tent judgment matured by long reading
Twice the Cumberland Times has been
quizzical, and Tuesday, under heading
of "A Newspaper Change" it INDUCED
the following splendidly expressed spec
ulatlon:

make effort to maintain the "individu-

In exceptional instances, however, intel

trace tame effect back to an inert cause
Meanwhile, has the Times forgotten the

greeted the intelligence that it had taken
over the .lNrga"jan!
