As we have said heretofore we are
very anxious to secure a good live cor
respondent at every post Office in the
county. We are anxious, and are do
ing all we can to make the Hustler one
of the best weekly newspapers in Wes-

cure the cooperation of our county
subscribers by sending us the happen
ings of their community each week,
we feel that we shall not only make
the Hustler one of the best weekly pa
pers in this part of the state, but
second to none in the whole state.
When there is death in your vicinity,
the serious sickness of any one,
or an accident, or a marriage, the
Hustler is glad to record it. That is
papers business and is a part of the
news that people take the paper to
get. Send us the news.
