A novel sight at Richland Center
few days ago was the arrival of
railway coach full of crazy people

Correspondents OF the HERALD
are requested to write on only one
side of the paper. The reason is this:
Several printers are put to work on
one article. The sheet you write on
is cut up into several pieces and a
piece given to each of them. You can
readily see that if it is written on both
sides is cannot be cut and is often
thrown into the vast basket because
one printer cannot set up the whole
article in time for the issue of the
paper. Also number your pages in
the center at the top.
