Why Papers Keep COminQ

We were asked. this week by a
delinquent subscriber why we
kept on sending the paper after
the subscription date expired.
Every weekly newspaper in town
OF this size is forced to do this.
Should we stop subscriptions
when the time expires nine times
out of ten the subscriber would
give us a calling down" for in
sinuating that his credits was not
good. Rather than cast a refiec-
ton on the honesty of subscrib.
er to pay small debt it is next
to necessity for a home paper
to continue sending the paper
after the time has expired. 1t is
not necessary for the city dailies
or weeklies to follow this rule as
their subscribers live at dis
tance and are not personal friends
as is the case with a majority of
our subscribers. Our subscribers
should deem it an honor to know
that we do not doubt their integ-
Irlty and continue to send them
the paper after the time has ex-
pired. Should any desire their
paper discontinued, they should
notify us and remit to date if they
have not already done so.

Old Abe Cruger lived in New
England in the days of Indian war,
fare. He was a fatalist of pro-
nounced type. Nevertheless he
would not venture forth without his
blunderbuss. One day he had an
important GRAND, but the blunder-
buss, when he came to get it, was
missing from the rack made of an
tiers where It always hung. Some
one of his family had taken it. Abe
sat down to wait till it was brought
back.

THE CRITICAL PUBLIC.

The man who gets angry about what news
paper prints of himself should return thanks a
dozen times each day for what newspaper knows
OF him and suppresses. Any fool can find things
to print in a newspaper, bat it takes wise news
paper to find things to keep out.
All OF which IS very true, remarks an exchange
lt is generally supposed that newspapers print
everything they can find out that is anywhere
near mt to print, but that is mistaken idea The
average country newspaper refrains from publish
Ing many that might pass as news because it
would reflect on the character or reputation of
some individual, and indirectly on his family and
town.
And this reminds u.s. and we presume other
papers have noticed it, That If anything happens
TO get into the paper that does not please some
subscrlber-and we have known of such cases
where the offended person has not and never had
been subscriber-it does not take lone for the
person to let the editor know all about it. On the
otner hand, newspaper may say all kinds of good
things about this same person. and throw bou-
quets promlscuously at Others yet not once in a
hundred times will the compliment be noticed Or
the editor thanked for the mention
This goes to show what the people take too
much as matter of course A newspaper is ex.
pected to speak we'll of everybody, boom the town
and do lot Of hard work for ''the good of the
cause, forit costs nothing to run newspaper-
so too many seem to think. 1t is fortunate that
most publishers are public.spirited citizens. Thew
do much without hope of reward on earth. content
they see good accomplished through their efforts
