noon, while the subject of his remarks
yet lived, and we cannot more fitly
conclude these observations of our own
than by introducing here the editorial
referred to, affectionately entitled "Our
Neighbor:"
It is little to say aud also, in one
sense, it is much that the man who
lies mortally stricken at his home at
Buck Shoals has a warm spot in the
hearts of thousands. It is doubtful
if there is a man in public life to-day
whose passing away would touch so
many as a personal bereavement, as
has the mere news that one of the
greatest humorists of our time is fast
neariug his final day on earth. Mr.
Nye has literally added to the gaiety of
a nation. His weekly letter, printed
in scores of papers from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, has been regularly read
by thousands, possibly millions, to
their vast entertainment and where
they could read between the lines, to
their instruction as well. Nye has not
been merely funny. He has not read
him aright who has failed to see that
he pricked the bubbles of sham and
folly; that his writings were possesed
of sound sense, only half concealed
beneath the easily-apparent nonsense,
and that, at his best, he was a satirist
as well as a humorist.
