Editor's Knife (Defiance Daily Crescent News 22 June 1888)




Monogrammed Black Blade with Wood Grip Pocket Knife





    Some hard hearted wretch stole the Crescent editor's knife. Now this knife was not enormously valuable to any one but the owner, and valuable to him as he has no money to buy another. Now there is just one thing, the point to the editor's pencil is most worn down to the wood, after it reaches the wood there can be no more writing done without the knife to replenish the lead. See? 
    In other words, without the knife no more locals, and no more booming the 4th; no more pleas for the C.L. & N. W.Ry.; and no more urging the cow ordinance; no more announcing lawn fetes. Bring back the knife and we will give the fellow so long a puff for honesty and a month's subscription.
