Rules For Correspondents. Here are ten rules for country correspondents. They were pre pared by an experienced news paper man. Cut thorn out and keep them.. Then try to make your next letter to the Fulton County News conform with all of the rules: 1. Do not abbreviate. Do not write Mr. & Mrs., but Mr. and Mrs. ; not Mon. or Sat but Mon day or Saturday,. 2. Leave space between items for correction or additions. 3. Give both initials. Write C. H. Sipes instead of Mr. Sipes or Mr. C. Sipes. 4. Write important subjects fully. Do not dismiss the death of a well known pioneer in half a dozen words, but write some thing of interest concerning him. If suicide or murder give all the details you can get. 5. Have verbs agree with sub jects. Don't say Mr. and Mrs. B. was, but Mr. and Mrs. B. were. Mr. and Mrs. B. may be one scripturally. But they are two grammatically. 6. Don't use nicknames. Use James Peck instead of Jim Peck, Edward instead of Ed. 7. Give the time in an item. Mr. Harris was in Everett, the house burned down, are incom plete. Tell when things happen ed. 8. Divide words correctly. Don't divide such words as enough, e-nough. 9. Don't send articles reflect- ting upon the character of indi viduals or " firms. The newspa per is not looking for libel suits; neither does it care to right your personal wrongs. 10. Write your name and town at top of page. Last but most important rule of all. It is most essential that the newspaper know from whom the news is received and from what place. Important suggestion, though not a rule: Carefully look over your news after it is published and note what changes had to be made. , While the ten rules given above are important as relating to written news, yet there is one rule supersedes them all Tele phone really important news at once. WE MY HALFji Farm Names. A native of the Big Cove, who for several years, has resided elsewhere, was much interested in an article which appeared in the News recently suggesting that farmers have specific names for their farms, and makes the following suggestions. If we were to mention his name, it would add weight to the article, but he is one of those modest men who shrinks from the thought of seeing his name in print. Here's an abstract of his letter: "I read in last week's News a good suggestion that farmers name their farms, and have letterheads and envelopes printed, describing their pro- ducts. That's business! What would merchants, manufactur ers, dairymen, doctors, lawyers- even railroads do, if they did not advertise? As I am entirely familiar with the topography of the farms in the McConnellsburg valley, I suggest the following names, beginning with S. A. Nesbit's farm in Tod township. I will not give the names of the owners of the farms; the names will, perhaps, suggest that: Point View, County Capital, Sun Brook,. Fair View, Hill Crest, Grand View, Homestead, Spring Mead ow, Valley Forge, Orchard, Sun set, Shady side, Meadow Brook, Garden Heights, etc." EXCUSE ME! But I just cannot help tell ing you that I am now nicely located in my new building in Mercersburg with a full lioe ot Farm Machinery,. Buggies and Wagons. I can sell you Double Corn Plows from $17 to $20. Two-Horse Wagons com jletc, $60 and up. Call and see my goods and get my prices.
