The editor frequently fails to make
mention Of items Of local news simply
because such items do not come to his
notice. He must be informed as to
what is going on as we'll as other people
and while he does everything in his
power to keep" posted" it is not al
together his fault when some matters
escape attention. He is only human
and has no powers Of intuition or in
stinct above other mortals. It is as
much your duty to inform him of the
comings and goings of your friends and
other items of news as it is his pleas
ure to publish them. If you have
visitors, if anything happens in your
vicininty, if any of your people or
friends die, or if you get married let
us know about it.
