In the moriuui! and between nets 1
had the opportunity of saying a good
word forthe I. J., which grows in popularity
in that county as the paper grows
older. Kxcepting the home paper, Itro,
Dycho's Keho, the Intkuiok Jouunai,
enjoys by far the largest circulation in
Liurel and it was my good fortune to
add quite a number of new subscribers
to the already large list
Our clever and elliciont correspondent,
Mr. John Pearl, who has always been a
warm friend of the writer and one of tin
paper's best gave me much assistance
in introducing me around, as
well as by talking up "the chenpedt and
best." He is an old newspaper man and
knows as well how to write a readable
article as ho docs to treat with courtesy
his brothers of the profession.
I also had time aside from my attentions
to the circus to see a number of improvements
that Ixmdou has made since
last fall. Tlie Ford it Co. addition on
the north side of the railroid contains
