"HE IS ONLY A PRINTER"
Such was-the sneering remark
of a leader in a circle of aristo
cracycodfish quality. Who was
the Earl of Stanhope? He was
only a printer. What were Prince
Edward William and Prince
Napoleon? Proud to call them
selves printers. The Czar of
Russia, the Crown Prince of
Russia and the Duke of Batten
burg were printers, and the Em
peror of China worked in a pri
vate printing-office almost every
day. William Caxton, the father
of English literature, was' a
fpractical printer. What were
J. P. Morris, N, P, Willis, James
Parker, Horace Greeley, Charles
Dickens, Benjamin Franklin,
James Buchanan, Simon Cameron
Schuyler Colfax? Printers all,
and practical ones. Mark Twain
Amos J. Cummings, Bret Harte,
William Dean Howells, Joel
Chandler Harris and Opie Read
were plain practical printers, as
were Artemuo Ward, Petroleum
V. Nasby and Sut Lovingood.
Senator Plumb of Kansas, and
James J. Hogg, ex-Governor of 1 1
Texaa, were both printers, and . .
the leader of science and philoso-' I
phy in his day made it his boast
that he was a "jour" printer.
In fact, thousands of the most
brilliant minds in this country
are to be found in large cities and
towns. It is not every one that
can be a printer brains are ab
solutely necessary to be "only a
printer". Century Magazine.
J. S. Burk was in town, from
Nutrioso the first of the week
looking after land matters. He
was accompanied by Erastus
Skousen of Alpine and others.
They report that crops are backward.

SWAT IT.
Warm weather is here and the
flies that survived the swatting
that they had last season and the
cold weather will soon begin to
or perhaps have already crawl
from their hiding places. Now
is the time to get to work with
the paddle, the broom or any
thing that will fatally swat the
house fly.
Along with the fly, swatting
there should be a general clean
up of the premises of the refuse
that has collected or allowed to
accumulate during the winter so
that there will not be any breed-
mg places tor the fly pest.
A week's exposure of refuse in
the hot, festering summer can
cost sickness and death to many
people in the neighborhood.
Max Dannembaum, manager of
the A. & B. Schuster store in St.
Johns, was in Holbrook last Sat

first degree in Masonry by the
