An Editors Pay.

M. C. Tracy, of Macon, Ca.
tells the following story of the
time when tobacco and pigs were
used as money:
Il well remember along in the
SOS, of seeing great stacks or
bundles ;of tobacco piled up on
one side of the Huntsville Amer
lean office. That was along in
1856. The tobacco represented
receipts on subscriptions. Each
bundle contained ten pounds of
tobacco, and was good to make
the subscribers solid with the
paper for one year. The tobacco
was weighed in the Office and
the subscribers was credited
with ten cents pound, the mar
ket price. The tobacco offered
the editor was of the finest quail
ity and used only for cigars.
There was a large factory in
Huntsville, where a great many
slaves were employed in getting
the tobacco ready for the mar
ket. The editor sent his tobacco
off along with that of the ship
pers and received his money
when they did.
Back of the newspaper Of
fee was a pen, where the editor
would keep pigs and small stock
taken on subscriptions. There
was but very little money in the
country, and such things as the
farmers raised passed as legal
tender. A newspaper office was
practically a warehouse for coun-
try products.
"The most remarkable pay
ment on newspaper subscriptions,
perhaps, was that rendered by
subscriber to the old Blooming
ton Gazette, som e W h e e
in the 40's. The subscrib-
er had a large, fiat tombstone
which had been erected at the
head of some of his ancestors
graves, He had long forgotten
who the ancestors were, and as
the editor needed a smooth stone
to mix his ink on, he found the
reverse of the monument to be
just the thing and promptly
credited the subscriber with his
subscription for the stone, and
both felt the richer by the trade.

HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS

name for the season in which the birth Of Christ
is commemorated. II is apparent however, that

of Nazareth. The Saturnalia OF the Romans and
the winter festival of the heather Britons were
both celebrated about December Is; and later.

Gilmore, declaring that Bill Rarlden,

as they swung.
Moran was unbeatable in the first
game, and let the Packers down with
five well scattered hits. lie never gave
them a chance to score, while Cnlel
Johnson and Henning were easy pick,
