After a Short Illness.
Mrs. Emma McCraw, wife of Mr.
R. E. McCraw, died at her home on

The Editor’s Burden.
Here is a heart-to-heart talk which
a country editor, who evidently has
troubles of his own, recently gave
to his delinquent subscribers: “Good
morning. Have you paid your sub
scription for last ye. r? Perhaps you
owe for last year, or several years.
Now, you understai d, we need mon
ey; we have mill ons—to get, but
it is really an imi osition to let the
good people go on carrying our mon
ey when we are f ;rong and healthy,
and so abundant!' able to bear t)ie
burden ourselves. For this reason we
ask anybody who 1 as any of our mon
ey in his possession to leave it at
the office or send it by post, freight
train, express of any other way, just
so it gets here. Silver and gold are
heavy, and it would be a matter of
life-long regret if anybody should get
bow-legged carrying it about for us.”
