This only happens occasionally for there are only a few people in any community who imagine a paper should contain nothing but what they approve of. •__ A contemporary says that newspaper subscriptions are infallible tests of a man’s honesty. They will sooner or later discover the man. If he is dia-honest he will cheat the printer some way; say be has a receipt some where, or sent tha money and it was lost in the máil, or he will take the paper and not pay for. it on the ground that be did not subscribe for it. or move away, leaving it to come to the office he left. in this particular at teilst^' and the printer’s book will tell fearful tales in the final judgment. ____ Hearing on the petition of the Pike County Telephone Company for authority to increase rates will be held Tuesday, September 16th at 9 :30 o’clock a. m.
