 Correspondents will please not include among their news items notices of an advertising character. If such are de- sired they must be paid for. Churches, societies and other organizations will also please take notice that, whenever the editor of the Courler, or any of its attaches, partakes of supper that is served for money. they will pay the same as other people. If they don't. the officers of the church or society will confer favor by throwing them out. If, on the other hand. announcement is desired of such supper, but there isn't manifested spirit of reciprocity by the bringing to the office of any needed printing, the notice will be charged for. '.News ss is news" is always wanted the moro the better-but advertising will be treated as such. Nearly all newspaper men have in recent years come to recognition of the fact that giving away advertising doesn't pay.
