The Reporter trusts that none pf its correspondents may be offended af oijr curtailing of thejr interesting letters this wpek- Tljiq important work is a necessity ii| order tlwit as many neighborhoods as possible may have a hearing. Then there are spooials to be handled such as the physicians' meeting, the court proceedings, death notices, etc,, which urn of general interest and which require more'space than items and gossip, We highly appreciate the good work of our correspondents in every community of the county, always try to get in all that we jx>Sßibly can, But there is n law in all well conducted offices that certain articles must take prece dence of others, and that items mustt>e given space proportioned to their news value.
