The Country Editor, It it, to say the least, a thankless < Tt ia anrthincr lean than ?nn- ' shine and roses. He is expected to ' write up all the good things said and done, and to be as blind as a vam- , jptra bat in daylight to the defects and imperfections of the town and { community. If he happens to be a hustler for news and tries to publish it all without fear or falter, then he is looked upon as being meddlesome and dipping his spoon into other people's pie, where he has no business. If he , happens,to be of a quiet, retiring kind, and not a walking arsenal, and does not publish the truth, the public procouuces his number N. G. If he meets a man who has been receiving his paper and be musters np courage to ask for the price, he is that thf> nar?pr dnn't mmp rea w ~ I?X "?^ ""O alar and that he does not propose to pay for something that he does not receive. *. He mnst aid in giving publicity in < all elections, chnrch affairs, marriages, social events, and write a column obituary eulogistic of the 7 th cousin of one of his subscribers who . has not even paid his or her subscription. He is inconsiderably boiled down ' because he does not get out a weekly "trade edition," showing the great j trade resources and advantages of i the town. When he calls on some of these enterprising merchants for an ad he I is told, with a Mongolian smile, that ' advertising does not pay; hence it is . m r^oofimn rvsnvifrvr iaiii*.

The city of Baltimore was devastated by a terrible conflagration last Sunday, which caused a loss of property estimated at over 100 millions of dollars. This is said to be the f. second most destructive fire that has 'h ever occurred in the United States. The hearts of the people of the whole Southland go out in sympathy for Baltimore, the city that has ever stood for Southern senti- I ment and ideals. ?? j BETTER THIN GOLD. I Era v.

There is a time of vindication lor every man. But that time must be chosen. Every man if understood and appreciated at last. Sometimes a man must make his own vindication. Di Bass did this.
