We sometimes are mistaken. This i.
generally the result of misinformation
but don't throw too many bricks at us
for short comings. Remember we have
a big contract on our shoulders: to write
of the morality and good qualities of the
morally inclined i'll this moral town, and
to keep the rascality and darned 'oner-
ness of the few others out of the news
papers. Please sympathize with us just
a little bit.
To an onlooker the man who goes to
the postotfice and buys two-cent stamp
and tenders to the postmaster a five-dol-
lar bill in payment, is -, well he is
not business man. The Milton post
master, as well as many more of us, are
| paying taxes to support Jail system,
and we wouldn't mind the cost half so
much if we knew that certain individuals
whose names we needn't mention, were
occupying choice cells at our expense.
We are informed the postmaster is not
obliged to make change; neither is he
obliged to lick your stamp on. Some
time the former would be mighty incon
venient. particularly when change is
scarce, as. it often is, in all business
communities.
We believe the last Legislature passed
a law prohibiting dogs from running at
large outside of incorporated town limits
between the first of March and the first
of October, without being muzzled, under
a penalty. There are some people in
Broadkiln as well as elsewhere, who in
tend to obey no laws, if they can help it.
They are above the law, or possibly be-
low it. There are dogs running rabbits
almost every day near Milton. We have
not been in sight of them, hut we have
been near them. We don't know whether
they are muzzled, but we suppose not.

We notice that President Taft has sent
to the Senate the appointment of Geo. L.
Townsend, of Odessa, to be U. S. Mar

bear it.
