"Saddles were pretty high tbeu.

asked.
"Oh, I donno" was the reply.
"Not so high, I guess, taking other

bale of cotton for 27 cents a pound."
"I'm ahead on big trees," said
Mr. Fred Hays, Saturday. "I sawed

A newspaper man may not get
rich, but be gets a good deal of ex
per if nee, which, if he is wise, he
charges np on the profit side of the
ledger. W ben be is young in tbe
business it makes him feel very
unhappy to be criticised. He is
nearly as "touchus" as an office
holder, aud wheu a mad sulisrriber
orders tbe paper stopped be feels
like going to bed. But as be gets
older, be doesn't mind it, aud learns
to feel as if be ia not doing much if
he dnesn t get a few rouuds from
somebody occasionally. Aud, then,
it shows wbat tbe people are feel
ng and thinking, keeps In m in
closer touch with his constituency
and makes his paier closer akin to
the soil in which it nourishes. No
editor should feel bad over a little
criticism, especially if it's in a
friendly manner and has no real
venom. He learus to "give and
bike,' and likes it "I see lota of
things I don't like," said Mr. W.
L. Parker of New Salem, aa be
forked over his dollar for another
year.
"Ihat s it," replied the captain
of the pen, "we have to make a
paper for lots of folks, and what
oudou t like will please somebody
else. If we had to make a puper
to please ouly one man, we'd have
to charge him at least a thousand
dollars a year, but making it for
great tuauy, we deliver the goods
for II per. This is so cheap that
oue mau can afford to overlook tbe
w things he doesn't like."
Carrying this idea a little further,
it may be of interest to relate some
of the conversations the reitorter
had in one whort walk looking for
news last week.
Wbat in tbe thunder are you
lumping on Bob tileun for! ' said
one man. "Areu t a Governor's
public actions a reasonable subject
for comment or criticismt'' he was
asked. "Yes, but I like him and
dou'tlike to see him criticised,
and remember this," he concluded,
'you won t hurt him half as much
as yoa hurt yourself; his friends
are mad about it He's a good
man; I know him."
Well, now, wouldn't that jar
you t It didu't for several reasons.
The first is that tbe same man will
be gleeful before his subscription
expires over tbe criticism that
he'll see about somebody hedoesu t
like, Tbe second is that the very-
next mau the reporter saw, called
him behind a pile of goods and said:
"You bit Bob Glenn just right;
give it to him again!"
Ten steps further np the street:
'No, I've got no news, but I want
to say that you are right about poll
