ABOUT PERSONAL MENTION,

THE COMMONWEALTH Prints nothing
which it Goes not like for the public to
read ; but urges all local readers especi-
ally to read what is said here.
Realizing from number of years
of experience and observation that
nothing pleases most people more than
to see their names in print, for several
years we have spent much valuable
time IN trying to make as full column
OF personal mention as possible. Some
times in single week we have filled
more than txo columns with news that
was "purely personal"
We are frank to say now that the
investment of the valuable time we
have put in this work is not a good
one but it has been pleasure to US
and all connected with the paper to do
every thing possible and that is correct
to please the people. We say further,
that, so far as we have ever been able
to observe, this matter Of personal
mention has been the source of OF more
criticism upon this paper than any
tb,ng..else. The truth is, some people are
positively silly about seeing their names
Or their Visitors names in the paper.
The personal column costs many times
more than any other amount of local
news we gather, and is the source OF
more annoyance to the newspaper than
all the ether local news put together.
This Is not matter peculiar to the
experience of The COMMONWEALTH
alone, tor local newspaper men every
where have similar experience, and
frequently in the cities it Is SC.
We say here what we haye printed
many times, before that we have no
spleen to vent against any one and if
we had, we would certainly try to
exercise more common sense than to
do it to the detrlment of our business.
So those whose names have been omit
ted from the personal column are in
just as good favor with us as ii their
names had been mentioned.
Folks are funny about this personal
mention business. Some who know
some one else has been away from
iown and the fact has not been men,
toned IN the paper, will take it upon
themselves to carefully communicate
such valuable information and some
will count words or lines to sec If Just
as much has been said about them as
about somebody else.
But we have said all this about per-
sonal mention to make tho following
statement: Finding that it does not
Justify us for the time 1t takes, here
after we shall not make as much effort
20 keep the personal column filed as
we have been doing. W. ars glad to
mention the going and coming Of the
people just as we mention any other item
of news, but we do not now expect to
longer maze this speciality for the
paper.
We shall thank any aud all no will
give us personal news as we'll as any
other news which will be of inters st
to our loca, readers and others.
Rem ember, plea>e, if your nans is
LETT out or the name of your visitor, we
do not mean it for ''slignt," but it ia
because we do not know it. That's all.
Meantime whoever owes us dollar
or even half dollar will "please US
nightly" by paying it at once.

In 1896 Mrs. Ausbon was happily

greatly to the sorrow Of her loving hus
b md who mourns the loss OF three
children and is now called upon to give
up the companion of his life.
Mrs Ausbon was young and strong,

blow to many hearts. She was kinc

IN, companion and enjoyed the cob
fi1en:e and esteem of large circle c
friends Wnl!e not connected witt
any church she had thought OF the
future and with clear intellect, real

self as being ready for the final sum
mons.
Many friends deeply sympath'z
with the stricken husband in this hi
darkest hour OF life, and with til
other relatives of the deceased.
