that he had been the Morrill, correspondent of

ure in saying here that his services in that re-
spect have been highly appreciated by the
paper and by its readers. Thirty-ive years
ago. when the writer took charge of The jour
nal.the local news including the county corre-
spondence, seldom overran two columns OF the
then 4-page paper and 1t was seldom that
more than two towns in the county were
represented Now we have five correspond
ents in one town and two or three IN others
and the larger part of the SPACE paper is de-
voted to local news The first page, formerly
devoted to miscellany set in large type. is now
local matter, and majority of the towns in the
county are reported each week. News of the
Oranges, the churches and the secret societies
are given and the personals alone occupy more

of historical value.
