Gene Heath says in the last issue that the main rea son for discontinuing the publica tion was the lack of support Westfall is not large enough to support a paper. Many who have been in this city in attnndnnce upon circuit court took advantage of the opportunity to register for the coming elections. Still there are manv more who are not yet on the registration books that should bear in mind the fact that the books close on May 15 get rich, says an exchange. For our readers’ information we here with giye them the secret of the editor’s success: A child is born in the neighborhood, the attending physician gets $15; the editor gives the loud tongued youngster and the happy parents a send-off and gets $0. It is christened and the min ister gets $5 and the editor gets $00. It grows up and it marries; the editor publishes another long wind ed. flowery article and tells a doz en lies about the beautiful and accomplished bride. The minister gets $10 and a piece of cake and the editor $000. In the cource of time it dies and the doctor gets from $5 to $100, and the minister gets, perhaps, another five, the un dertaker gets from $50 te $100, the editor publiftes n notice of the death and n obituary two columns long, lodge and society resolutions, a lot of poetry and free card of thunks end gets $0000. No wonder so many country editors get rich. DREWSEY DOINGS.

C. J. Millis is quoted in a recent issue of the linker City Democrat to the effect that stock losses in this county during the past winter had been severe. This is a fact with individuals, but not general. The loss has been only nominal, consid ering the long winter, with the ex ception of a few individuals who turned their stock on the range ear ly and an unusually severe storm following immediately after These individuals lost quite heavily as a consequence. J, C. Bartlett has an air of quiet assurance. Such is life, and may they all prosper is the wish of the disinterested writer. Our two hotels, the Bartlett and one just opened by Mrs. Holiday were united in the effort to serve their guests in the best manner possible at this season.
