The new design for the postal card, will lie out to press about the first of December. The bureau of engraving' and '.printing is ‘ now : preparing the plates. The new design is very simple. There is a . vignette of Tims. Jefferson in a [circle without elaboration. The legend “United States BuSta! ! Card” is along the upper edge, “one cent” under the vignette, and ; beneath it “nothing but the ud- ■ dress on this side.” The objection | to the present design is that it is • too large for the card and does | sot give sufficient space to put the 'address on properly. It will prob- ; ably be the middle of December before the new cards will lie ready for sale.

One of them being John C. Shaw, a nephew of the late Uncle Billy Shaw’, of Barkley tp. Mr. T. J. Farden, of this place, has known Gerard for many years and says he was a desperate and dangerous man, but in regard to whom he remembers one favorable incident: When home from the army in war times in the capacity of a deserter, Gerard offered to thrash a whole bevy of “Butternuts” but they dared not tackle him. Mr. Farden witnessed the episode and. has never ceased to feel some regard for Gerard on account of it.

An exchange gets at the matter in pretty good shape when it says: “It is the editor’s duty to speak of his town as-the lovliest place beneath heaven’s blue arch. Speak of the deceased citizen as a fallen oak when he dies of the jimjams. Call a man a prominent and influential citizen when he knows he is the best poker player in town. Speak of a little street Arab as a bright eyed urchin on the road to fame;,, a big-footed, red-headed," newly-married women as the beautiful and accomplished bride. Call a man who has a few dusty bolts of calico and a soldier’s blue coat an experienced dry goods merchant. Call a lawyer a leading light of whom the profession ought to be proud, when he knows him to be only an ordinary pettifogger. Who wouldn’t be an editor?” —— Have you taken a cold?
