Week In and week out we re ceive letters from people in various sections of Johnston county with the request that they be published in The Smith field Herald. We do not pub lish them. Why? Because the writer failed to sign his or her name. We will not publish the writer's name with any news item unless he wishes it. But we must know who the writer is before we can print his com munication. We are glad to pub lish news-notes from the various sections of the county and re cently we have had to throw aside ,?eVeral communications whicj*' we would have been glad tjc/ publish but could not, for the , simple reason that the writer i f forgot to sign his name. When you write a letter for publica tion in The Herald, sign at bot tom of letter the initials or pen name you wish published and then write your real name on another sheet of paper, or at bottom of letter, with the re quest that you do not wish your name published, and we will fol low your instructions. It matters not how often you write, sign your name every time. Very often communications are addressed to J. M. Beaty or T. J. Lassiter. When this is done if the one addressed is out of town, the letter remains unopen ed until his return. Address ev ery letter to The Smithfield Herald, or Beaty <?. Lassiter, Smithfield, N. C., and prompt attention will always be given. If correspondents will follow the above instructions it will be gratifying to themselves and pleasing to us. MASSEY CHAPEL ITEMS.
