For the benefit of P.. G. Shelly, [the Middletown Journals corre- spondent in this place, in reference to his item in that paper last week, we would say that the editor of this shoes he Joy paper is in the same is. He has two business places to look after. Although not the same branches they require all his time. We would advise this young man that if he wants to make both his business standpoints a success, he should do like the editor of this pa— per does, give the one his attention during the day and the other in the evening, but instead his evening sparetime is spent at a local restau- rant, trying to be a genius on the checker board.
