J. N. Moon writes from St.
Vincent’s Infirmary, Little Rock,
that he is improving slowly. Af- j
ter the active life he has been ac
customed, a hospital is rather a
dull place and Mr. Moon wants j
to get the news from home as
chronicled daily in the Independ- j
ent.
Suppose a newspaper man,
every time he hears a man criti
cise him or his paper in public,
should retaliate by holding up to
public gaze the faults and short
comings of said fault-finder;
what would be the result? The
editor may not know it all, but
he does not live in a community
long without knowing a deuced
sight more than he publishes.—

ing business future and stands

his new home, whither he came
from St. Louis. The Independ
ent extends congratulations in
advance.
