Hail the Country Editor.

A writer in the Chicago
Times -HeraId says among other
things about the country paper
The city man who does no
take his home" paper, provid~
ing he was reared in the COun>
try, does not know what real
enjoyment he misses. The news
I get out of one issue is worth
more than the yearly snbscrip>
ton. l devour every line of the
local gossip and neighborhood
correspondence, and when | lay
the paper aside | praise the
country editor for giving me this
privilege.
To the man who cannot visit
his old home every year or two
the weekly perusal of his home
paper IS almost as good as a trip
to boyhood scenes. He reads
where the little freckled faced
girl who sat behind him at
school was married to a city
chap, who holds a "lucrative
position with street car COM
pany."
Letters from home are very
welcome, but one doesn t get as
much news in hundred letters
as he does in one issue of the
home paper.
II you are sick the country
editor writes a nice paragraph
about your illness and he trusts
that YOU will "soon be able to
appear upon our streets again,
if your wife dies he tells of her
many COOL traits Of character
and that she "bo1e her last ills
ness with Christian fortltude;;' if
your son gets married the coun>
try editor tells what a promising
young man he is aud what an
"estimable and charming young
lady" is the bride.
And this and more he does
rejoicing with you III prosperity
and sorrowing with you in adj
versity-a1Ways taking friend~
ly interest in his people and dis
playing a pride and public spirit
in his town which is foreign to
the big city papers. And yet
when any one has to wait for his
money or go without entirely 1t
is that same country editor
not the publisher of the "foreign
paper whose only interest in
you extends as far as your dollar
goes.
