HOW BDITOBM GIT RICH.
After a good deal of study
and worry We have it at last
“figured” out why so many ed¬
itors get rich. Here is the se¬
cret of their success:
A child is born in the
neighborhood; the attending
physician gets $L0, the editor
gives the loud lunged young¬
ster and the “happy parents” a
send off and gets $ 0 It is
,
christened, and the minister
gets $5 and the editor gets $ 00 ,
It grows up and marries; the
editor publishes another long
winded, flowery article and
tells a dozen lies about the
“beautiful and accomplished
bride.” The minister gets $10
and a piece of cake and the
editor gets $000, In the course
of time it dies; the doctor gets
from $5 to $ 100 , the minister
perhaps gets another $ 5 , the
undertaker gets from $25 to
$ 50 , the editor publishes a no
tice of the death, an obitnary
two columns long, lodge and
society resolutions, a lot of po¬
etry and a free card of thanks,
and gets $0000, jto. wonder
so many country editors get
rich.—Argus.
IK LOVIMG MEH0BY.
Edgar, Ga., August 10 —I
wish to write a few lines in
memory of one of my dearest
friends, G. W. Hill, who died
in your little city recently. I
was very intimately acquaint¬
ed with him for a number of
years. He possessed some of
the most noble traits of human
nature. He was a friend to
the poor, as many can testify
that when they were without
means 0 f support he was al

I spent a day and night with

I believe that when his

much loved, and that they are

God’s bright beyond.
