'-, How the Editors get Rich. After a good deal of'study and work we have at last figured out why so many country editors get rich. Here is theseoret of success: a child is born in the neighbor hood, the attending physician gets $25, the editor gives the loud lunged youngster and the happy parents a "send-off" and gets $0. It is christened ; the minister g 'ts $10 -and the editor gets $00. It grows up and marries: the editor publishes another lorg-winded, flowery article and tells a dozen lies about the. beautiful accom plished bi ide, the minister gets $10 and a piece.of cake, the edi tor gets $000. In the course of time it dies,- and the doctor gets from $25 to $100; the miui6ter ^perhaps another $15, the under taker gets from $50 to $100, the editor publishes a notice ot the death and au obituary two < ol umns long, lodge and society reso lutions, a lot of poetry and free card pf thanks, and gets $0,000. No wouder so many country edi tors get rich.-Mobrehead Coast er. Notice of Sale of Land.' , Notice ia .hereby given that I will sell at puWic outcry at Edge field, C.
