MISSOURI METHODS.

Only in Missouri dare a newspaper man print this ponted item: “The business man of this city who is in the habit of hugging his typewriter had better quit, or we will publish hs name.” Only in Missouri, too, would twenty-seven business men have called at the office paying all arrears of subscription and leaving behind them twenty-seven columns of advertisements with twenty-seven hints, to the editor to pay no attention to idle tales. If the London business man has less shame than the Missourian the London editor has a more accurate sense of the perspective of truth.—“ The Mercantile Guardian.”
