Write Only on One Side, Please.
Our correspondents, both in
town and country, will please
stick a peg here. The printer's
rule is that paper shall be writ
ten on one side only. Ttyis is
net an arbitrary, useless demand,
hwi a very reasonable regulation.
It ofte: happens that two or
three printers, under certain cir
cumstances, may want to set up
the same article to rush the work
on time. This can't' be done if
paper is written on both sides.
Mr. J P Scott, of Greensboro,
arrived m the city this morning
