Just Arrived

A bran new printer has come to town.
He's not tramp" printer-dOesn't look
like one-certainly we never saw him be-
fore. In fact it is not certain that the
yonng chap is printer; he may be a far
mer for we hear he is a f1rsl-rats naitkeE,
Then again others say that as a young
Tay Tor he is "hO1gling success" quite a
versatile "mske up" to be sure!
For our Part, We can't quite place him,
nobody seems to know hIs name. From
all accounts, though, he is much too small
to "pick type''-indeed they say he will
for a while yet be engaged in the milk
business, and later may prefer to whip
tops or play mumble-peR before settling
down to lease" The fact that he is
sure to be fond of pie, seems to suggest
that he is destined to take ''etick" some
day, althO in the mean time We fear he
may make the acquaintance of some other
kind of stick than the printers! However
We feel sure he is promising young prin-
ter and we mean to keep an eye on him.

SMYRNA'S TAX RATE

Editor of TRANscRIPT:-There was an
item in your paper last week about the
low tax rate OF the town of Smyrna. II
Middletown had an income from its Light
& Water Plant of $1,000, from it Opera
House ~ of $500, and could assess per-
sonal property, all of which they have
and do in Smyrna, then we could have a
rate of so cents or lese.
Another advantage that Smyrna has,
is good streets that cost very little to keep
in repair, and which helps keep the rate
down. There has been nothing paid out
for repairs on the stone road out by Mr..
Peverley's since it was built; that is
practical illustration, which we can all
see, of the economy of having streets
built of more permanent material than
dirt and gravel. PROGRESS.

LITTLE GIRL DEAD;
HURT IN RUNAWAY

Especial Dispatch to The JOURNAL
FATONTON, Ca, Nov. 19.-An I'M
usually sad death has just been an
nounced here in the receipt of a tele-
gram announcing the death of baby
Ruth Pierce, only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James H. Pierce, and only grand
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. d. Leonard,
of this city, following injuries received
in a runaway accident about three weeks
ago.
The little girl went for a ride with
relatives, an aunt and an uncle, ana
their little girl about the same age,
when the horse became frightened and
ran away, throwing out all the occu-
pants of the buggy except little Ruth,
who chung, though badly frightened, to
the dashboard from the foot of the bug
CIV. as the horse ran six blocks, turning
three corners in it's wild dash, before
being stopped by number of men at
a gin, when it's sudden stop threw baby
Ruth out. The little girl declared that
she was glad the men stopped the horse
so she could get out, and seemed APP
parently unhurt from her wild ride with
frightened citizens looking on helpless
in horror. Not until ten days later did
any evidence of internal injuries de-
velop.
