BUCK

DUN
The Silver State has a profound
respect for J. Holman Buck, editor
of the Western Nevada Miner, pub
lished at Nina. Now Nina isn't
much as towns go. 1t isn't COM
munity of parts as the loquacious
individual might say, but it has
served for many years to keep Mr..
Buck at his publishing labors and
the town has profited thereby.
Probably the average Nina citizen
wouldn't admit the importance of
the functions discharged by Mr..
Buck because. his splendid virtues
are beclouded by his daily chores.
His neighbors see him with his
sleeves rolled up and hard at work
sticking type after the fashion of
many years ago. In a most
punctilious fashion he does his work
and does it well and, from out
Of his efforts Nina gets good words

along the already digested editorial
page until they hit on passing COM

sentiment told in a manner that
smacks of joys that have been lost

iron nerved man has acquired q
philosophy as well as q head of
white hair and many facial wrinkles

that here is found q patriot.
Now the time was when the term

place. Men and women loved their
flag and localized the land which il
symbolized and the man who wasn't
a patriot never betrayed his state
