When you see something in the paper
that you dont like, you have a perfect
right to get just as mad aboat it as you
want, bat it won't do you any good.
If there wasn't something in v the paper
every week to make somebody mad it
wouldn't be very much of a payer. Bat
after yoa get over your madness you
want to stop and think the paper is not
printed for any one person, but for
many hundreds of them, and that the
article that displeases you is just the one
that aaits someone eke. If you eee
something ia the paper that doesn't
please you the beet thing to do is to
pass it up and Gee if you can't find some
other item that does please you. The
editor that can get out a paper that
pleaeae every Iwwly and displeases nobody
has not yet been born when he is born
be will have wings long before he gets

Those iatersstedia the establish meat
otthe factory for the man afactare of the
Bsbsob Graia cleaner are confident that
it will be located in Colambas. A meet
ing of those who have stock ia the com

and Peterson of Sehuy ler. It was prac
tically decided to locate in Colambas
and a committee at once took up the
work of getting a temporary location for
the machinery, which is at present stored
in 8chuj ler. The securing of a perman
ent location for a factory building is
now aader consideration, and probably
before now all the stock will have
been taken and part of the money for
the factory raised. This enterprise,
which will be the first oae of its kind
for Columbus, means that when it is
successful more will follow and eveataal
ly Columbus will become a manfactur
ingtowa Labor Day will be observed by the
Colambas Fire department. They will
meet at their hall at one o'clock, aad

nated by the merchants of the city, will
be given to the successful ones in the
various contests.

There is some difference of opinion as
to the extent of the damage to the
corn crop by the hot wind and
weather of the last atonta. When

groaad in a field of corn, it has began to
turn yellow, but on - the good lead it
still retains a healthy color. Aad while J
this is true oa the bottom lands, the 1
crops in the hills are standing it first
