people.
Fyr this issue we ask a charitable
criticism inasmuch as we have been
taxed very heavily fixing up some
necessary office business. But for
the future we propose to let the
Banner wave and float proudly, and
our sweeping invitation is to one
and all: rally around the Banner,
boys!
This week wc send the mail to
all the regular subscribers of the
Wkeki.y, hoping that they all, with,
out exception, will continue their
patronage. However, if some
should be disposed to discontinue
their subscription we would like to
be informed of their desire, in per¬
son or through the mail.
To those who have not been sub¬
scriber) we would urge upon you
to become so at once, promising
in return to furnish you with a
neat, newsy and readable paper.

A Georgia daily advertises as a
great feature for its Sunday issue
articles on “Is marriage a failure?
and Is death painless? with inter¬
views with a number of experts.”
In this day of divorces experts in
marriage are easy enough to find,
hut experts in death, we should
think, are rather rare.
Up to September 1 the immigrant

were 392,937 ns against 362,839 for
