TWENTY YEARS WITH HIS NOSE ON
 THE GRINDSTONE,"

On Friday next, Jan. 20, MT J. H. vaill, editor of the Winsted Herald, will have com. pleted his twentieth year of service on that newspaper. Newspaper men only can com- prehend the magnitude of the work which he has performed during the past 20 years. Even Editor vaill himself would be astonish- cd could he see that great amount of work spread out Def re him on one vast plain, or piled up like an immense pyramid. Twenty years ago could he have seen the work in store for him, he, or anyone else, would have been overwhelmed at the magni- tude of the un ertaking and would have shrank from attempting 1t. But how has he accomplished such task; such a work for the public, and in their behalf? By burn ing the midnight oil by working while other slept, by steady self-denial and by faith full performance of the daily task assigned him and yet he takes no credit to himself for the work done, or the excellent paper he places before his readers; on the contray he says, "The paper has never yet been as good as we have hoped to make 1t, but we always have the hope of making it better in the fut. ure than 1t has been in the past" Well Neigh bor Vaill We must say you are hard to suit if you find fault with the Winsted Herald.
