LApsus MEMonIn TT GALLANT.

The editors OF the Signal have al
ways enjoyed the writings OF State
Press--tho human cyclopedla. who
whites his time in drawing philosophi
cal word pictures OF the mental and
physical conditions OF the newspaper
offices In Texas. Sometimes the Sig.
nails aggregation have concluded that
State Press knows more than most
men about the inner life OF newapa-
perdom and has knowledge Of the
conditions. the surroundings. the
personnel. the motives and the long
lngs Of every editor In the black land
country and even as far west as ABB
lene. And we think yet that he knows
thinks as far az his horizon extends,
but we have believed for some while
that either from Ignorance OF the

quences. he has habltually Ignored
Snyder and sourry county and has
thus passed up the best and most
rapidly developing region In Texas
and the most generally intelligent
people Of the State, but since reading
his recent comment on a newspaper
plant In Kaufman county we are
surprised at s. P.'s lack Of know
ledge OF Geography. Here is the Kauf
man item. and S. P.'s comment
"SCURRY's SIZE.

Hardy wouldn't credit scurry with q
