mental anguish."
To hear men talk most public
jobs are not worth having be
C8ustf they pay so little, but it is
noticaWe that there are few oc
c: f-ions w her, such a job is to be
given that there' are not many
candidates i.i the line.
THEr.Eis little use in ying
that there is not friction in the
recorder's court between some
city eidis, but when you begin
.-locking for a man for that, posi
tion that will please every bdy
you have a great big job ahead
of you.
: About the only thing special
to be brought agairst city At
torney Everett is that he retired
instead of standing for re-elc
tion. Had he stood for re-dec
toil we might have been spared
the scramble for the place that
ensued when it was anounced
that he was to retire.
The result of the meeting of
the city aldermen last Monday
night is interesting, when it is
learned that the job of city at
torney pays $1,000 per year. A
lawyer that takes the jab an J
appears every day in the liecor
der's c urt. if they have many
case?, will earn all that he gets,
that is if the charges for suc-i
services are to be considered like
charges when they appear in
cthircasas.
EACH month we part company
with many of our old subscribers,
aniiti in many caocs clciply'
because they neglect to renew
their sub.scriptb'is. We kno.v
many of t'lem and are rure if the
paper wa3 continued we would
get the money, but we have no
way of knowing what they war.t
about it unless they renew.
When we go over our list we do
not look fur the name of certain
people rut look at this date, and
if the time i3 out the paper u
stopped. This is not a hardship.

Mr. T. Koy Simmonr, manager
of the local branch of the Stieff
Kan Cimpany, is happy over
bis sales of pianos before the:
holidays. The company have a
branch at Norfolk, Va., and Vir
ginia and North Carolina are un
der the direction of this branch.
The management of the Norfolk
iranch otTered a prize for the
Ixal branch that would make the
most cash sales from Sept 4th
t Dec. SI, 1W, and Mr. Sim
mons was the winner. This is
tie hccond time Mr. Simmons
ha3 wr-n a prize fir the most
cash sal's for his firm, the other
t.me U'ing in 1907, and he justly
f eU g'tod over his effort.
IU says one of the reasons he
has an trnsy lime winning is the
f tct that the instrument he
handles i' better than others, and
the rep'j'alion of the Stieff has
aided him in his efforts, but real
ly, it takes pufch to sell pianos.
and I'.r. bitnmons poesesees a
sufficient amount to be a w inner.
