AN APPRECIATIvE READER A Waldo
county reader of The Journal writes: ''We
enjoy your paper more than all the Others
1t contains much besides news, and we can
depend on its truthfulness. Too many of
| our modern newspapers do not wait for
facts, aim at tragedy, something startling,
so exaggerate uncertain reports. know,
alas, there are crime-loving readers, but can
not think they are the majority. Sketches

time she said she was really hungry and
had seated herself at the table to await the
food that was being prepared for her Soon

| To CORRESPONDENTS Some Of our coun-

late; and if there are any who are unable or
unwilling to send items we wish they would
advise us that we may make other arrange
ments. We have no deferred correspon-
dence" now, and are anxious to have the
Waldo county news as full and complete as
possible. OF course at this season there
may not be much news, although with
Grange in almost every town, and in some

and other societies and Grand Army posts,
there must be something doing. We would
again request of all who send in matter for
publication, to send it early. If you have
an obituary, a marriage notice, or personal,
send at once: do not wait until it is time for
The journal to go to press. Nearly every
week we receive such matter after the paper
has gone to press that might have been sent
in week earlier Evaryho1v is invited N
