Two things, II borne in mind when read
ing the items in any paper, would save
| much i'll feeling. First, that correspond
| ent is dependent upon the public for news
| and has right to accept as true any state
ment one makes concerning themselves;
and second, that company publishing
both daily and weekly papers uses the daily
items for the weekly, sometimes without
accomplishing and consequently may some
times be found in more than one place in
the paper.
