The Editor's Christmas.

Fifty-two weeks in the year the editor of a newspaper is a machine, grinding out news for his readers. He has no regular working hours. Xews is news and his standard is that the news belongs to his patrons. He works when there is work to be done, which means that he works all the time. His mission in life i-s to boost along his fellow man and business in general of his home and nearby towns. This he does conscientiously and to the best of his ability, sticking to it from morning until night every day in the week and fifty-two weeks in the year. The great majority of editors’ subscriptions, too, expire about this time of the year, either in December or the first of January. He looks forward to this season as ihis harvest the time when he will be rewarded for his year’s labor. If you, dear reader, are one whose subscription has expired or is about to expire, send us your renewal, now. It is due us; we have earned it. and you will feel all the better for starting out on a new year with your paper paid ahead.—Exchange.
