Correspondents should be par.
ticular to write plainly and spell
correctly the names of persons

correctly--and ali who write fol
the press should use care, wher
writing name, to make each
letter distinct so the printer will
not be in doubt and have to guess
because nine times out of ten hi
will guess wrong on one or more
letters. The best way in writing
a persons name for publication
in not only the REPUBLICAN
but any newspapers to prin
it, as they say at school, il
capital letters, thus: JOHN SMITH
then the printer will not neet
to guess.
