| extended during the intimate official
| relations Of the past few months. May
his shekels be as plenty as his smiles.
| Regrets: We regret that the mail
| facilities between our city and the
county seat are inadequate and incon-
yenient More certain and speedy
| communication can be had with Chi
cago than with our county seat. Up-to-
| date matter has sometimes failed to
reach the paper in time. We aim to give
the most important news on time, and
it is with some chagrin that we are
sometimes made to appear as hanging
on to the tail of passing events. We
especially regret that matter mailed
last week should have failed to appear
in last weeks issue, At the risk OF
seeming stale we resuscitate some of
that dead data.
A Change of Base: In the days of
the war 'change of base" was often
attended with danger and difficulty on
the part of the army Our change of
base" was attended with ease and safe
ty. The Herald helpers headquarters
are now located over Pittman 81 Nc
Williams in the elegant, convenient
and commodious law apartments of
Hon. w. Il. Howe We hope here to
help the Herald. We invite friends of
the paper to hand us the happenings
of home Bring in the news.
Reminders: We remind our readers
that reporter is not ubiquitous, or
Argus-eyed. He ought to be every
where present: he ought to have a hun
bred eyes. But he has only two organs
of vision he can only be seen in one
place at time. This pencil-pusher
hasn't'a corps Of typos going about
seeking whom they may devour.' He
hasn't retinue of relations securing
the country for information. He must
get it alone. So we remind the friends
of the Herald to bring i'll the news.
When cousin comes from Coon Hollow
or Paw goes to Possum trot; when sis
ter slips from the state of single bless
edneSS into that of connubial bliss or
blister; when wife reigns over recep-
ton or pastor breaches splendid ser
mon, step in and tell us. This agency
is not an augur-to bore it's recep-
tacle to receive So we hope that our
friends will be communicating and
obliging Help the Herald and let
the Herald help you.
