A Suggestion.

We are ready ut any time to give space for
the publication of local notices Of coming
events-meetings, social, political and relig-
ious-but we must ask that such notices be
handed in al. the Office, fully written out. By
simple request, verbally made on the street
or elsewhere, away from the office, 1t is too
easily possible for us TO get dates mixed or
to wholly overlook the matter. We are al
ways pleased to see our patrons and have a
word with them; so, if you have anything
that you wish to have appear in these col
umns, come to the Office with it; that will
not only insure its appearance, but it will give
us the very desirable opportunity to quiz
you about other matters and thus enrich our
local columns.
