Show An Editorial Joke. An editor in Indiana stated that a rival who was coming to town to start an opposition paper, was a pretty good fellow, but ''partedhis hair inllie middle," Every man in the place who could leave his store went to the depot to see the new comer, but instead of seeing the spruce aud dandified young man they expected, ex-pected, they saw an elderly and rather shabby gentleman who, as he raised his hat in honor of the crowd, they found to be as bald as a billiard ball. His hair teas parted in the middle, and the parting was four inches wide. The incident in-cident created such a laugh that the new publisher could not stand it, so he departed next day for "pastures new." |
