With the increased size of the Nkws we are enabled to handle the communications of our regular cor respondents and others 1 tetter than heretofore and trust they will not hesitate to send us items often. We have set apart one page of the paper for our regular county cor respondents and we want them to feel that it is theirs and for them to use it freelv. We want items of news from all parts of the county and will appreciate anything of the kind sent us. We ask that our correspondents refrain from "ltoost ing" candidates for office, as all such should announce themselves in the ndvertising columns in the paper, as other business and pro fessional men do and the Xkws is not doing free advertising for any political party. We also ask that each writer always sign his or her name to each article, not for publi cation, unless the writer desires it, but that we many know who the writer is. Often articles of merit are not printed simply because we do not know who the writer is and it is a rule of all well conducted newspapers, not to publish articles without knowing the author. Then again all communications should reach us on Tuesday, to enable us to handle them the following issue. n f" S ji rf"- vx vV V. xV -"s- T" "'sZ'v -vV iw- 'nJ J ) W &mr m 'mJ tfT' h WP1 imJ ft STAC U BBAND U CMOP.S ARB c .
