No one in The HERALD office
has time to re-write ill-written
long articles. Notes of five to ten
lines each can be easily recon
structed and put in good shape by
the printers, but the long commu-
nications cannot. Friends wish
ing the publication of articles of
several pages of manuscript and
knowing their inability to write
correctly, should get the local
school teacher 10 write for them.
The young gentleman who is
both local editor and general man
ager of The HERALD writes that
he is getting along nicely in New
York and is well pleased with the
type-setting machine which he is
studying. 1t will take him three
weeks yet to learn its mechanism:
hence, he may not be expected to
return before the end Of the month.
During his absence, only the most
important correspondence can be
attended to.
