HARD LINES |
Are Those Which the Newspa- |
per Man Finds in His Post.
Did you ever consider what a hard
task it was to grind out a certain
amount of matter daily or weekly
and repeat the dose day in and day
out? If you have never brought
your mind to the contemplation of
his task, you have never fully ap
preciated the hard lines which a
poor devil of a newspaper man has,
in the absorbing drama of life. Os
course, when the mind is teeming
with id'ns and the mental mnehin
cry is well greased with apt words
to fit them, the labor is trivial; but
even with most fertile brains, and
the best equipped vocabularies, there
comes a time when the ebb of thought
is low and the old machine refuses
to go.
These are the times that try the
newspaper man’s soul. He knows
that he must write; he sees the empty
“copy hook” glaring at him, and also
the printer's “devil," who has con.e
down to remark that all the com
positors arc out and the paper will
have to go to press with a column or
so of “dead matter” unless some
thing is done at once. Then the
newspaper man squares himself to
his disk; he resharpens his pencil
for the nine hundredth time, and
drums his nose sore for an idea; be
runs his hand busily through his
hair and finally rakes up some rem
iniscence about John Smith, and
gets licked after the paper comes out
for his pains.

Shoes. —
it has been our intention for
some time to discontinue the
shoe business, as our other De
partments require all of our at
tention. We have therefore
gradually been reducing our
stock in the shoe line; neverthe
less, we have a full assortment
of sizes and styles left,
Thete goods we have deter
mined to sell. Have therefore
just gone through the entire
stock and marked them at prices
at which they will go, because
they must.
We do not want to dilly
dally with the stock on hand,
as we have other goods waiting
to take the space now occupied
by our Shoe Department.
Somebody will therefore get a
bargain. If you do not make
use of the opportuni y, your
.evel-headcd neighbor will, and
he is the one to get the prize.
This is not idle talk, not a ficti.

WHO WILL WIN?
The Contest Betwean McAuli
ffe and Frank Slavin.
The Former isthe Favorite With The
Sporting Men of Brunswick -
The Fight Exciting Much In
terest on Both Sides
Tiie sporting men of Brunswick
are manifesting great interest in the ;
coming contest between the two great |
pugilists, Joe McAuliffe and Frank i
P. Slavin
Numerous bets have already been
made on the result which will cause
several hundred dollars to change
hands. Judging from the nature ofi
these speculation it is evident that!
McAuliffe is the favorite with .
Brunswick sports.
Never in the history of pugilism !
has such excitement been seen over .
a great match as there is at the pres |
ent time over the great battle to
take place between McAuliffe and
Slavin.
The contest will take place in the!
first week in October. Two such ;
giants have not met in the ring!
since the day Charlie Freeman, the
American giant, and the Tipton
Shake- met The contest between the!
late John C. Heenan Tom and Say-:
ers, created a great amount of inter
est nt the time, and there was more
ill feeling over the battle between
the English and Irish sections than
any contest that has ever taken
place in England, excepting perhaps
the Spring and Langan contest,when
the latter sported the shamrock,wolf
dog and round tower in hiscorncr.
There are many incidents that,
make the present match so exciting.!
First, because the conqueror will!
surely throw down the the gauntlet
to the champion of champions, John
L. Sullivan; secondly, on account of
the giganti sizepf the pair to con
test, find, thirdly, through the great
interest taken in the match by lords,
earls ami notables in old England.
. McAuliffee is the hero of the hour
in England. By liis free, gentleman
ly manner, he has made a host of
friends.
Slaven lias lost many on account
, of the strange manner in which he
acted before and when the match
was being made. I think far too
much of his ability as a fighter to
brand him with cowardice, but the
strange manner in which he acted
would impress many with the idea i
that he was. His contest with
Smith would disprove any touch of
Cowardice in him. He was not only
fighting Smith but also the most
blackguard and cowardly crowd that!
ever met at a ring side. Slavin made ’
many frivolous objections to meeting I
McAuliffe.
| He was underrating McAulitfec’s
! ability as a fighter when he stated
that a man that Perter Jackson de
seated was not in his class. If he
thought McAuliffe was such an easy
man for him he should make no ob
jection to the match, as fighting is
his business. Again, he would not
agree to meet McAu i.fe for the
amount of money he had, J 52,100.
Champions of old would have fought;
two or three battles f >r that amount.;
Richard K. Fox came to the Amer
ican’s timelv assistance, and gave
Billy Madden authority to make the!
match for as much money as the’
other side wanted. Slavin should
remember that McAuliffe tried
everything in his power to get on a
second match with bis only conquer
or, i\-ter Jackson. • He offered the
latter every inducement in the world,
but with avail. Frank should also,
remember that McAuliffe was not
half trained for the event, as he felt
sure the man of color was an easy
mark for him. McAuliffe was
young ami inexperienced at the time
and had an idea that he could fight
without being half trained.
