Says Elisha is Now Best of Three Old Friends.

Monticello Journal Elisha Warden was called to Rensselaer yesterday by Mrs. J. W. McEwen to move the printing press from the McEwen printing office and place it on board the cars for shipment to Chicago. Elisha, Uncle Jimmy McEwen and this printing press are old-time chums and all three have grown old together, but Elisha seems to be the best of the trio at this date. Away back in the sixties or early seventies Elisha wrestled with this press on two or three occasions here in Monticello when Uncle Mac was editor and publisher of the Constitutionalist. Later, but still in the the-cars here for shipment over the “narrow guage,” to Rensselaer, where it has done duty until the publication of the Rensselaer-Sen-tinel was suspended on account of the falling mental condition of Editor McEwen.
