Show AN EDITOR'S WIFE.-A Georgia editor is boastful over the good qualities of his wife, to whom he pays this doubtless well-deserved tribute: There is a little brown eyed, enthusiastic, high-spirited lady, who, after she has cooked breakfast, cleared the things away, set the house to rights, attended the call of the bread-wagon, and milked the cow, dons her hat and cloak, comes into this office, yanks me out of the editorial easy (?) chair, pounces on the exchanges, amputates every item of interest, stacks them on the copyhook, grabs up a Faber, travels it over a quire of editor's manuscript paper, removes her snowy-white apron, shoves up her sleeves, grabs up a stick and rule and sets it all into type, reads the proofs, and corrects every error. That's our wife, and she will get her reward in heaven. The lady referred to in the above was Miss Ella Green, formerly of Macon. |
