Kind Words.

The editor of the NEWS has received many congratulations on attaining his editorial majority by completing twenty one consecutive years of service as editor and proprietor of the NEWS. He has also received many expressions of best wishes for his future. He sincerely thanks his contemporaries for the con gratulations and good wishes they have published, and he also sincerely thanks the friends who have personally written him letters of congratulation. He takes the liberty to publish a few samples as follows:
 Rev. John Calvin Goddard of Sails bury writes: Congratulations on at taining your editorial majority. hope you will wield the pen, scissors and paste for years to come, growing better and happier all the while.
 Attorney George Coffing Warner of New York city writes: ''I was much interested ill your paper of March 31, and to note your twenty one years con- nection with the NEWS has just been completed. My congratulations to you and the communities which you have served so long and faithfully; and may you purvey the news for them for an other score of years"
 George w. Chase of North Adams, Mass, who for more than forty years has been a personal friend of $. 0. Beck ley, writes him reminiscent letter from which we quote briefly as follows: "How many changes come about in twenty-one years. Many editors who were in the race with you when you be- gan have fallen out by the way or have gone with the great majority. Now that you have attained to your majority as an editor and publisher suppose you feel like bracing up and taking new lease of life and activity. These are times when men don't grow old if they don't wish to. There is so much to do --so much to live for, that one don t have time to think of how old he is. He sometimes thinks about it the morn ing after hard days work, but the ap- plication of few minutes of Christian Science thinking straightens him out and he is up and at 1t again. That you have held the fort for twenty one years and the NEWS shows no signs of mental failure is evidence that you are only ready to build up from the past, and to make the NEWS the leading factor ill es- tablishing Canaan as the trolley center and consequently the trading and busi- ness center of all that region May you live to see the day ,and enjoy the results, IS my sincere wish.

He gets out frst-class weekly, and the NEWS covers the field intelligently and we'll. I have always had pretty warm spot i'll my heart for Brother Beckley. It so happened that the very first assignment I re- ceived at the hands of the news editor of a daily paper was to cover a Ma sonic banquet. It was the tooth ami versary of a lodge, and Editor Beckley was one of five speakers. I was crowd ed into one corner of the hall where it was difficult to get out, and after the toasts had been completed I was some what chagrined to observe MT. Beckley quietly gather all the manuscripts and roll them carefully together. I had visions of getting left on about every. thing that was good in the post-prandial exercises, and when the crowd had clear ed somewhat, l went to the Canaan man with my discomforture written very plainly in every line of my face He began to smile, I thought I would save you some trouble, he said cheer fully, as saw you were crowded h over there. Yours is daily and you are entitled to those manuscripts. My paper doesn't come out till next week SC you can send the manuscripts to me after you have finished with them" have often thought that for disinterested cooperation and helpfulness in the news paper fraternity this action is entitled to the palm ''-'' Joe " Hollister ill ''The Note Book" in Pittsfeld Eagle of April 2,1904.
