Some Shop Talk,
The editor is able to be out i
again atter a week's painful ill- (
ness, last week's paper beiug edited
fram a sick-bed. Enfeebled
by suffering and discouraged by (
lack of fiuancial support and other ,
conditions, we take up the bur- j
dtn again and will strive all the c
harder to give our readers the
best that we are capable of producing.
1
Last week our pay roll was c
$32.91, while the cash receipts t
amounted to $6 50. Our regular *
weekly pay-roll is $30, which j
must come Saturday night or the 1
^ a
business stops. For weeks and f
months the office expense has
been greater than the revenue and t
yet we have on our books, due
and past due about $3,000.
Friends, do you realize what J
this means? It means that day i
in, day out, 6ick or well, we \
gre bending every energy to give c
a good couuty newspaper?one 1
tftat will compare favorably with ?
any weekly iD the State?and we ?
have done so. And what is our t
reward? People read the paper t
1? % J I ?
and say nice tilings aooui u auu i
allow ns the privilege of sending r
it on indefiuately without pay. i
It means that for all our work f
and energy put forth we realize i
not a cent personally, but have
to borrow money for actual snblistence
and to meet the deficit I
for current expenses to keep the 1
business going. It means that *
we get no interest on an in. (
vestment of $3,000 in a printiog 1
plant that experience shows deteriorates
at the rate of ten per ^
Cent a year.
Now, this is not as it should
be, and if those who owe will
oome forward and pay, our financial
troubles would quickly
be relieved. In many cases the
delay is caused by mere thoughtlessness.
We cannot find time,
nor can we afford the postage,
to he continually sending bills to
subscribers. The price ef sub- J
scription is very low and the (
terms are cash in advance. When (
in doubt send a dollar and if 1
it overpays what you owe and j
you don't want the paper contin- J
ued, we will cheerfully refund J
the difference. <
c
Many are already paid in ad- (
yance, some away ahead; but the ^
proportion is too small. Remem- Z
ber, we are sending out about
eighteen hundred papers a week ?
md iffrv per ceDt unpaid means
i dead loss of nearly oue thousmd
dollars, which wipes out
very cent of the profit on what
s collected.
We are makiug no bid for
sympathy, bat we feel that we
save hones) ly earned the money
hat is owing the paper and
should have it.

[Or solicitor. *\ow is uur jauicu:atatiou
changed to joy, for Stoll
is safe over the fence, his own
*011 nty having stood to him so
aobly. And the precedent of not
dectiDg a man the second time
ail road commissioner has been
broken in Caughman's case and
t could not have been broken
?or a more faithful, conscientious
>r hard working official. It was
i bad precedent, to some extent,

that a man ought to have

Now let all the candidates,
wth elected and defeated, look
ileasant and come across with
1 dollar to help elect a Demo- i
;ratic president.
We congratulate the victors and <
;oudole with the vanquished. Yet j
vho can say that the so called (
ucky ones are not more in need s

lewspaper advertising and elecioneering
by means of personal I

i positive genius for making ]

campaign and it is no wonder ?
hat Smith was elected by so
iverwhelming a majority. Between

Evans had a fair show to win, i
jut the eleventh hour charges
igainst Smith and the "black 1
