Not Ed’s Picture But Don’t Do Him Any Harm.

The Monticello Herald in a news item about the sale of the Monticello Journal, remarks that while the editors, J. B. Van Buskirk, of the Herald, and Newton Bros., of the Journal, have always been on fairly friendly terms, they have never exchanged photographs. Under the circumstances The Herald could not publish pictures of the retiring Journal editors. Brother Van Buskirk, however, is resourceful and he wanted to let his subscribers have some sort of an idea of the way Ed Newton looks, so he borrowed a half-tone engraving of A 1 Fisher, the democratic auditor of White County, which was left over from the campaign, which he says so nearly resembles Ed that it will pass. Mr. Fisher says the picture from which the cut was made was taken several years ago, and may flatter Ed a little, but as he is single this will not do any harm. It is hardly probably that either Fisher or Newton woqld get past the outer guard in a beauty contest.
