The Editor's Heaven
A few clays ago a group of
progressive farmers were in
Lr otlice paying up their sub
scriptions. They were discuss
er nmonvr themselves the mer
jis of various newspapers. One
j- t)iem remarked that he had
[HVn a subscriber to the News
practically all his life and al
ways expected to be one. How
?i person could afford to do with
out his home paper was more
? nan he could see. The others
voiced the same opinion and
one remarked that he would
not do without the Grant Coun
ty News even if it cost him $15
a year, but admitted that he
would not like to pay that price.
We run across hundreds of
peoplle like this in oilr daily
work. They are people who
know they have a good county
paper, as the county papers go,
and are not stinted in their
praise of it. But on the other
hand we run across others who
are not so enthusiastic. Every
once in a while a good friend
ilrops in to renew his subscrip
tion, who remarks, "I want to;
pay up again. The paper is
not worth but I can hardly d6
without it." This remark is usu
ally made in a friendly spirit of
jocularity and we take it for
"what it is worth.
As a matter of fact your
County paper, whether it is one
of the best or the. poorest, is
worth all to you that you pay
for it. It is very welj worth
while to any resident/ of Grant
lounty or anyone who has an
interest in Grant County, and
I his applies equally not only to
: lie Grant County News but to
all other county newspapers in
the state or nation. Its columns
frequently contain matter
worth while which you could
not get through any other med
ium.
Your editor is publishing all of
the news pertaining to his par
ticular locality which is worth
publishing that he is able to
<ret. .Some of us editors may
not be the smartest people in
the worlld. Some of us may
not have a very broad view of
life, bu^as a rule we stack up
as well as the average in most
any calling. We all know that
we are frequently critised and
discussed, but most of us are
hard-boiled when it comes to
tilling up our columns and it is
pretty certain that most of us
are doing the best we can.
Not all of us are as deeply
religious as some of our sub
scribers would have us be. We
see so many different sides of
life that we grow a littlle skep
tical. Sometimes we wonder if
there will not be a little corner
in pardise for the county ed
itor ? a place where there will
he printing presses that never
kret out of order. Where the
advertisers will never be late
with their copy. Where writ
ers of obituaries and spring
poetry will not be known.
Where delinquent subscribers
will come in and pay regularly
and printers will always be in
good humor. And this kind of
a shop will be heaven, indeed,
for the country editor. ? Robert

' News, Williamstown Ky.
