A KIND WORD. 



Mr. Editor: — Just a line about the 

 "SpeciaJ." I like it much and consider 

 in material and general make-up it is 

 one of the best you have ever pro- 

 duced. One great thing about it is 

 the high quality of the reading matter. 

 Altogether it is a mighty nice paper 

 and bears out what many have said 

 of it. A.
