Piqued Subscriber Every once in a while anofii cia gets sore because a newspa per criticises his conduct and forthwith stops the paper under Ole apparent impression that imp is retaliating by crippling the income of the publisher It maybe a mistake of the publisher in thinking he has been done a favor but as a fule whenever a newspaper loses one subscriber bn account of pique there are uually Two or three others gained fqr the very reason that the one feels aggrieved The experience of the editor of this paper is such that he considers it a lucky omen to liMe a subscriber wall in and order his paper stopped because something it contained did not suit him He is con viced that he has said something and whether or not he is always right the broadminded und intelligent subscriber will recognize tho fact that it is only the negative quality in life that never crosses the feelings of anybodyBradley Bradley Wins Suit The Court of Appeals has sustained ained the decission of the Powell
