Don't put il in the paper" This is a
remark that is often made to newspaper
men by people who know things of interest
to the public, but have an idea that the in

Whatever ia of interest to o number of peo-
pie is news worth publishing.

Will Burleson has shown us circular ad-
dressed to members of the Burleson family
in all parts of the United States, proposing
the holding of a reunion of the family at
the Colosseum Baptist church, in New Or
leans, on the 10th of February. We learn
from the circular that the first of the name
who came to America was Aaron Burleson,
q native of Wales. He came to North Car O.
lima in 1922. The family are now scattered
all over the South, and we noticed one
member who signed the circular hailed from
Minnesota, and so in Texas parlacne is a
"Yankee." The Elliotts, Hardemans and
others related to the Burlesons are included
in the invitation. These reunions of old
pioneer families have become quite common
in the older States, and the ona proposed at
New Orleans, if properly set on foot would
unquestionably furnish an occasion of much
interest.
