Doesn't ii h:r yor, gentle render. ' to rend the muouneeirent of a publisher that t.'io choice bit of news re- i garding the new it.ill at Murphy's Sioal.--, "every item of which" lie bjasUd the previous week of having i "protected" by a 'copyright", that ' every! hi re" is "indefinite." thst ! the mutter wrs then, "and is still 1; < an indt finite shape." Again he claims that when r.v rs "can be given" the} will bo fcuml first in las paper. , Funny isn't it? Now let's sec: If a person has something covered by a copyright, he must surely have the something, otherwise ho could net have it covered by a copyright. The something in this instance that ogt young friend claimed to have covered by a cop} right was "every iUm o' this news" (poling his own words. Now the words "indefinite" nr.d "copyrighted" do not exactly ch'V tail together. Now for the anxious p ibllo who woro awaiting in bretfhless anticipation, the choice scoc p ''every item c.f wh'ch" was protected by a "copyright" to be plainly end unblu&hingly told that the wlioio business "was" at. that time "and is etill" of very "indefinite" nature, 1 v I and that the prospective railroad to i Murphy's Shoals wan all "a fake'? wis a sad I: loo* or disappointment to his expectant readers. It looks like our young friend has ot into a hole rp lo liis neck, or hus wallod reckl ffily into quicksands, |. where r.o foi nduticn can he found, y By the way, wo would just like to have a copy of that "copyright" to keep aj n t ouvcr.ir. If lie does not know any more abou* running a newspaper than he does about coj yrlghtP.we might, upon lequest, suggest several other occupations. But will refrain from doing so unsolicited. But that "copyright" cf "indefinite" "news" makes us laugh deed it do. I Our friend and versatile correspondent from Klta "Vox," asks for an expression of our opinion on debating societies for young poo- ( pie. Wc ha\o no hesitation in giving our unqualified endorsement to 1 all such societies which have for J their object tho bringing together*of j the yonng men of nny community forfiiendly discussion of questions, ' moral, political, social or religious, i and especially all questions of an ' historical nature. We think fbe ; young men of every eommunity could do nothing that would broaden th'.ir ( mind, kir.dln tho fire of intellect, J broaden tho ."-copo of understanding \ nr.d mi.ko possible tho achievement j I of success and honorj heretofore con- I j si Icred far beyond their reach and , considered as accomplishments cx- u pcc.tfd only of those having advantage i * of a eollrgi.-.to training and urusu: ; n lvantagcs sooner than l!io organi/. j , tion of a debating society would.
