ALL IN A DAY'S WORK.
A newspaper publisher has to do a
great many things in his calling that
are personally disagreeable to him
To do his paper justice he at times
sacrifices friendships that are price-
less. He is forced to forget himself
as an individual and recognize him-
self as a part of the machine. He
goes after stuff that does not interest
him personally a bit, but he does it
as a duty.
Sometimes he is met by a haughty
grandee who warns to know what
business of his it is if he does so and
so, and the editor is given the insult
direct, but he doesn't pay any atten-
tion to insults. If he did he wouldn't
last a day. In a little country town
these insults are borne as a business
policy—but not forgotten.—Exchange
That's the truth. Some folks think
an editor is a piece of public furni-
ture to be handled by every body who
wants to use him. They seem to think
he should bow down on his knees be-
cause they occasionally give him a
job of work.
What constitutes a day's work? We
figure it out that it depends altogeth-
er on your occupation. If you lay
brick, eight hours; if you keep house,
sixteen hours; if you preach the gos-
pel, two hours; if>you are a porter in
the sleeping car, twenty hours; if you
serve the government, one hour; ano
if you are a newspaper man, twenty-
four hours.
Parents should be cautious about
giving their children permission to
stay out of school. Every day out is
a day lost to the school work—they j
cannot make it up. They will soon
be behind and want to stop school—
find fault with the teacher—say she
is partial, etc., when all the time the
parent is to blame.
Remember on May the 6th you will
have an opportunity to vote for good j
road bonds. If the farmers ever ex-1
pect to have good roads in McCurtain
county now is the time to ge them.

The federal law forces newspapers
to discontinue all subscriptions at ex- KU(.h
piration of time payed. This is a
good /aw. There is no more reason
why we should continue sending the'
paper after the time paid for expires
than it is for a bank to cash an over-
draft. We are not going to do it.:
After this month no notice will be!
given anybody but paper discontinued
