THE COVNTKY XE W&PAPEE
The country newspaper has a nobb
mission to fulfill, and the editor of
such a paper has grave responsibilities
resting upon him. That soim
country weeklies are failing to fulfil
their true mission cannot bo denied:
and that some country editors do noi
realize their opportunities is a fuel
not to be disputed. When the pnpei
is allowed to become the tool of pv
litical tricksters, or when it is rut
solely with a view to making it pa>
as much as possible, it falls alto
gether short of its high destiny. I
is when the paper is made to be i
factor in the education of the peoph
that is is meeting its responsibilities
And what a potent factor it may b<
in this respect! It goes intb the
homes of the people; and more thai
that, it is read. This is more thai
can bo claimgd for the great duil;
newspapers. They are "skimmed,
but the country paper is read and it
contents pondered. It is often th
sole literary periodical that goes int<
the home. Young and old alike reai
its message. It must cover a wid
field. Politics, home life, social life
morality and religion must each hav
a place in its p??gc3. The might
events of the busy world must tin
their way into the homes of the pe<
pie mainly through its pages. W'ha
a grand mission it fills when it is th
message of truth! And the edito
should be a combination man, if h
would meet his heavy obligation:
He musts needs be a mixture of pe
litical scientist, moral philosopher
agriculturalist, household oracle an<
preacher. This being true, it is eas;
to see that the average editor of i
country paper is to he pit tied, lb
is made to exclaim : Who is sulli
cient for these things? Indeed, in
one man can he all of these things ii
any great degree. Put he may s->
for himself a ugh standard, and to dso
will help him in his arderous tusk
Thi average preacher sp -uks to per
haps a hundred and fifty souls. Tin
country editor having on his list t ,vi
or three thousand names speaks tmany
times that number The aver
age school teacher will have unde
his care perhaps thirty children : bin
the average country editor may
to perhaps a hundred times thai
many each week. Truly, he has t
grand opportunity, and he shouln
magnify his office. He is, moreover
entitled to a good degree of sympathy
and should be encouraged to strive
for perfection, lie should bear it;
mind that apart from the judgment
of his fellow beings, he must also a'
least stand before a higher tribunal
where final judgment will he heard
O Ito until uho I I aoooi uo ifj 1
according to the deeds done in the
body. Let him see to it, therefore,
that he espouse t he cause of right,
and that he render the best that his
heart andj lis brain have tog. veto
the world, that those who read may
be in a measure helped thereby to a
higher plain of morality, sobriety,
honesty, knowledge and industry.
We have returned from our trip to
Memphis, Tenn., where we enjoyed
the reunion of the old veterans. We
witnessed many touching scenes 1> tween
those old heroes locked in each
other's embruc1, who met for the first
time since they fuced the galling ti-o
of the enemy. The streets of the
city were a seething in iss of human
ity during the three days of the reunion.
The city of Memphis made it
noble effort to accommodato and take
care of the unprecedented crowd. I!-;
it said to the credit of the veterans
and visitor^, there wis very little evidence
of drunnennos.s, and we were
told by a policeman that many more
arrests were usually made on a busy
Saturday than had been made during
the reunion.
We find our space so thoroughly
taken up that we cannot write about
the trip In this issue, but will do so
later.

a week. The grass is very foriuidahle
and show- up well anion*: the cotton
and corn, l#t?t a week or two of fair
weather and tlie active I'iirmcr would !

will have to he taken care of now and
that will cause very active work and
every available hand to keep the crop
work moving as it should, every tramp

would.

though lie would die from the poison

Mr. . M. Penny's little daughter,

had nearly recovered, has relapsed and

respects rxiwlcl any reiinion 1 ever
attemleil ami my experience has l?een
area! for i have attemleil six .out of the
eleven that have been hob! since the
oianimation was first instituted. The
crowd of visitor* I think was the largest
! oversaw. The parade was ran I
as the weather was so favorable that
day and the arrangements of the reunion
committee was all that could be
dcsiied. they fed the veterans,
women and children by the thousand
free: hut when you hit a hoarding house
you were imposed upon to beat anything
I have ever seen, from >1 to^l.'Jo
was the rulisiir price for ro.s and mattie?es
|.er hi ad each nifrht. I paid one
. doi'iar per niaht for a mattress upon the
tl'Mir w ithout .my pillow and the fellow
, that slept with me paid tlie same, so
p the tiirec nights we staved made six
dollars tor a mattress that only cost
about two dollars and we left it about
as I as we found it. The hoarding
house ehar.od liny cent-a meal which
' made boatd and lod\rim.r v J.aU per day,
t wiee as much a> I ever paid at a reunion
before. I will have more to say
about the tettuion in the future. I met
t many old boys that 1 will mention

cl Uncle Joe and Lis.,
Kim rot: Tisir.s :?It seoms that ever
' n gay and festive creature like youi
e Uncle .Ice has to take his medicine
y like a little man and onjoy(?) somr
(| of the ills of life as well as the gooc
things. Now, for this a ltd other reasons
I have not corresponded will
II you recently and 1 don't think yoi
e have missed mucli hy the silence
ii- nohow. J.'ist Thursday Liz and 1
visited your metropolis and as the
train was speeding to your city, the
'* engine sprung a iealc and in a few
- minutes the steam and water had
*, escaped and we were certain of the
j fact that it would take two hours to
he relieved and as we saw the con'
doctor start for Santue, 1 told Liz 1
thought we could make the trip as
soon to I'nion as he could to Santue
and she lowed we could. So we
I vvo ked our o miles in one hour and a
half and had all our hotel supplies
1 when the train was ready to go. Thus
' saving us half a day as otherwise we
' should have hud to take the night
~ train. But yuttr uncle will not take
" another walk like that recently, as 1
} did not got over i: for three or four
' days. Hut Liz was chirping around
next day as cheerful as a linnet. But
r the beg part of the story comes yet.
1 Mr. Imps miw us and invited us to
take dinner with him at thethbhes
H Misc. and being an advocate of in|
U rval improvements we accepted and
enjoyed a a-), l dmiier, g t*en up to
' suit the taste of an epicure. We cer'
tuiiiiy did justice to the "occasion,
'j rhen biz who has an eye to the
' j i o uiVifiil, fell in lovo with tho sur
' I rounding* of this cosy, shady place,
with its verandas ai;d Howors, but
j she did not, m.ike the nc<|;iaintance
I of 1 iie |> pillar landlady, but- says alio
l*n-? that pleasure in reserve.
Carlisle is stil! on tho improve,
' every one is busy, no room for loafing
lo-re. True, we have a few sons
of rest here who are to the manor
j born and they wear their honors with
grace and dignity and are under no
obligations to the rest of mankind.
(tor street lumps are still vie.ved
from the dim distance and the imam
