Mr. Smithe ,of the Cambridge Chronicle,
in copying some notices of his editoria
labors in Henry county, by the press of
this city and vicinity, says:
These friendly notices are highly appre-
ciated. They exhibit an intelligent appre-
citation of what we have sought to accom-
plish in the Chronicle, and of the labor We
have bestowed upon it. Those writer's know
how much more time and trouble it costs to
prepare two inch item of local news. than
a two column installment of select reading.
The one often involves hours of search and
inquiry upon the street, or among records,
for fact to be expressed in single line
while the other involves only slashing run
through half-d newspapers with q
pair of scissors. The public rarely APP
preciates what it costs to prepare a column
of fresh local news, every other item o.
which often will hesitate a trip to some
other part of the town, and the re
suit Of which, when obtained, makes
but little show in the newspaper page
beside the columns of selected matte
that another paper may prepare in few
minutes. 1t is. therefore. the more crate
full to us when appreciation like the abov
