SORROWS OF THE RURAL EDITOR

Consider the editor. He weareth
purple and fine linen. His abode is
amongst the mansions OF the rich.
Lol All the people breaketh their
necks to hand him money A child is
born unto the wife or a merchant in
the bazaar. The physician getteth 10
golden plunks. The editor writeth a
stick and half and telleth the multi
tude that the child tippeth the beam at
nine pounds. Yet. he lieth even as a
centurion. And the proud father giveth
him a cigar
Behold. the young one groweth up
and graduateth. And the editor putteth
into his paper a swell notice. Yes. a
peach OF notice. He telleth OF the
wisdom OF the young woman. and OF
her exceeding comeliness. Like unto
the roses OF Sharon is she and her
gown played up to beat the band And
the dressmaker getteth two score and
four iron men And the editor getteth
a note OF thanks from the S. c. G.
The daughter goeth a Journey. And
the editor throweth himself on the
story OF the farewell party II runneth
a column solid. And the fair one re-
members him from afar with picture
postal card that costeth a sixth part or
jitney.
Behold. she returneth and the youth
OF the city fall down and worship. She
pickett one, and 10. she plcketh a
lemon. But the editor calleth him one
OF our most promising young men and
getteth away with IT, And they send
unto him bid TO the wedding feast
and behold, the bids are fashioned by
Muntgummery and Hawbuck. in a far
city. Flowery and long is the wedding
notice which the editor printeth. The
minister getteth ten bones. The groom
standeth the editor of for 12-month
subscription.

county applies. also to Schoolcraft and
Delta counties with this difference.
These counties have been longer In the
road game and more roads have been
built there leading to thIr larger cities
such as Eseanaba and ManIstique
Their soil is similar 10 that OF Mack
inaw, especially Schoolcraft county in
which there are many settlers now and
which is rapidly growing in rural
population
The east and west trunk begins at
ST. fgnace and terminates at Powers,
although IL is generally thought OF as
ending at Escanaba which, after st.
Ignace, is the city that will most
benefit from the tourist traffic. At
Powers II joins the north and south
trunk leading TO the Wisconsin cities
and beyond on the south and the Me-
nominee and Gogebic on the north

terminus OF the West Michigan Pike

to St Ignace where their route north
starts. The west Michigan Pike is

Frank protested his innocence OF

nation disseminated. He was con-
victed on the testimony OF a negro

whose actions in the case were, to say
the least, peculiar II seem inhuman
that any body OF men should take such
desperate steps.
While II looks cruel and inhuman
to us, we must remember that the

mits a crime against women. The pc

judging from our code of law abiding
Some desperate diseases require des-
perate remedies and the treatment ac-
corded to Frank is none different from
that which is accorded every other
person so accused The pity is that
there should be any doubt in the public
mind as to the mans real guilt.

Michigan to Florida via the historic

Thus will this east and west trunk
from ST. Ignace-as we'll as the other
routes-be connected with this very
important highway. The upper PENN
sula should make an effort to have it's
entire road system linked with this
important highway and the end remoy-
ed from the southern peninsula to
Keweenaw county or Gogebic county

the southern peninsula people to get
linked up and II will take some effort
on the part OF upper peninsula people.
