Some of our correspondents seem to
misapprehend what should be the character
of communications giving the news from
their neighborhoods. Humorous remarks
are not the things to publish about persons
in the communities where correspondents
live. What the newspapers want are news
items. that will be of general interest, not
personal items that can be Of interest to
only a few, and that may sometimes OF
lend.
The James F. Hurt Insurance Agency
writes all kinds of insurance in the best
companies.

noultry could have been sold to the cltl-

a great mistake in not paying more atten-
ton to the poultry business. The money
value of the fowls and eggs produced In
the county could by proper attention. De
made as great as that OF cattle.
