About Printing a Newspaper. Editing a newspaper is a nice thing. If we publish jokes, people say we are rattle brained. If we don't we are fossils. If we publish original matter they say we don't give them enough selections. If we give them selections they say we are too lazy to write. If we don't go to church we are heathens. If we g > ve are hypocrites. If we remain in tun office, we ought to go out and hustle. If we go out, then we wear old clothes they laugh at us. If we wear good clothes they say we have a pull.* Just as likely as not some one will say we stole this from an exchange. So we did.?Ex.
