The Editor's Troubles
Editing a newspaper is a nice
hing. If we publish jokes peo>le
say we are fossils. If we
publish original matter they say
ve don't give them enough seections.
If we publish selecions
they say we are too lazy
;o write. If we don't go to
:hurcb we are heathens. If we
lo, we are hypocrites. If we
emain in the office we ought to
>e out hunting for news items.
f we wear old clothes, they
augh at us. If we wear good
:k>thes they say we have a pull
s'ow what are we going to do '?

rill say we stole this article
rom an exchange; so we did.
It would see m that some men mar

short speech on the rapid adincement
of the school. After

smissed with a short speech

Too much cannot be said in
aise of Prof Mitchell and his

om a small graded school it
is grown to a high school
hich is the pride and boast of
e people of the community,
id there is material now on the
'ound for the enlarging of the
hiding, as the present one is
uch too small to accommodate
e increased attendance. It is
source of great sorrow to both
itrons and pupils to know
at Miss Cora Huggins, one of
le efficient teachers, will not
turn next session, she having
;en called to larger fields of
bor. She goes to Timmonslie
next session and we be>eak
for her abundant success

that what is Rome's loss is
