Ripley county post payments and AFL resolution note
Pay your subscription to any post master in Ripley county and instruct him to send it to us at our expense. The American Federation of Labor has demonstrated its good sense by its rejection of the resolution denouncing the introduction of cigar making machinery. The little school boy who answered Santa Claus to the question Who discovered America was simply an example of the mental condition of the average youngster at this season of the year. A London paper recently overstated the age of Miss Hettie Chattell. Miss Chattell brought suit for libel stating that she was an actress and her age had a commercial value. The jury gave her 7500. If Emperor William really desires to put a stop to duelling in the army he can accomplish it by making the survivor responsible for damages to his victim's family and relatives. Such a course has proved efficacious in France.
