Did you ever stop to think what
in untiring and steady letter wri
ter a good local paper is ? Week
after week, reaching into years,
it goes on telling of marriages,
births and deaths, the coming
and going of the people, the suc
cesses and failures, the accidents,
crops, improvements, parties, re
vival meetings, socials, in fact all
n-ents of all kinds. All is grist
that comes to the hopper of a
.jood local paper. Why, if you
were to undertake to write a let
ter each week to an absent friend
md tell half the news your local
paper gives, you would soon give
it up in despair. The supposed
pleasure would soon become a
tiresome bore. The letters would
,tow shorter, further apart and
finally cease entirely. What is
ihe difference? Because with a
newspaper it is business. The
,)e.:ple recognize this and take
pleasure in giving the editor
lews items you would never
learn. .
