funeral for the
Good of the City
(Wilimington Star)
.Mark' Twain once struck a city
and after making a survey of it
came to the conclusion that it had
some fine possibilities ', in it. . but
that with everything that' could
be done to help 'it, nothing would
heln it so much as a lot of first
class fanerals." That, of course,
meant that the death of some of
the 'town's'- best know citizens
would have to take place so. it
would be impossible for. them to
block the way of its progress,
:Mark Twain's joke', was on the
class of men who hold back their
town or put mouth on every
thing that is proposed for its de
velopment; Of course,' nobody
favors a funeral of "liny.' man for
the good of the. town, but a ; bet
ter plan" for dealing with obstruc
tionist would be , to snow them
under.-- Sometimes a mimic fun
eral answers the same purpose
and it was that kind which Pater
son, N. J. solemnly held a few
days ago. Taterson rgot her
knockers, grouches, kickers and
tightwads, and held a burlesque
funeral which was meant to typi
fy their burial. Three dummies
were prepared to represent' the
dead body of Dr. Tightwad, Old
Man Pessimist,, a n d Chronic
Kicker,- They were solemnly
load ed into'hearses, and away the
- t. . ii 1 i
nrocession .went 10 wie Dunai
Thousands of people, including
the hilarious small boy, followed
in the wake of the cortege, but
no tears were ' snea. wn me
contraryr therV was glee and
laughter, and a band of music
played a tuock dirge while the
throng followed with jests and
en caged in hilarious conduct all
along the route. The whole-af
fair was intended to be a mock
ery, and it was a hollow one
that was rather inspired to hurt
t h e feelings of " those ' whose
burial, the funeral was supposed
to represent. Each class of Pat
ersonians who have knocked, or
kicked, or have been glued to
their money could not help re
garding the affair as personal. It
was aimed at all and it did not go
wide of the mark.
Upon arrival , at the burial
cround Uoctor iTightwad .was
consigned to the grave and a nick
el was buriod ; with him, , Old
Pessimist was tumbled into bis
crave and with him went the
words of the old tune "The Old
Cow is Dead." Chronic Kicker

Your correspondent, in view of

ed as follows: " .
In answer to your question as

In answer to friends now who"
are wiring and writing me on
this subject, I have to say that I
have not asked thebar or the
people In any' county in North
Carolina to endorse me for this
position. - I do not hesitate to
say that if I were fit to fill this
position I would perfer to be
promoted to it rather than auy
other position in the gift of the
government, because I have nev

of the people except ' positions in
the line of my profession.; I hap

any of them , or any of my friends
were to conclude I am fit for this
position I could not otherwise
view it than as a. high compli

have not time to answer, as I
should, communications from my
friends, 1 hope this will be accep
