We are informed that we gave wrong
credit in stating recently that j. ]. Rich
srdson, called the dean of American
newspaper men," who died at Davenport,
Iowa, was a native of Ryegate, when, as
q matter of fact, he was born in the
town of Orange, in that section known as
East Orange. Those who are acquainted
with the family state that J. J. Richard
son was accompanied to Davenport from
the East by his brother, Nelson, and
that they embarked in the newspaper
business at the same time, J. J. Richard
son taking the business end of the work
and his brother the literary part. A
book of travels by Nelson Richardson is
in the Aldrich library.

As to Mart ZOna.

Mart Zona has come to life
again. We had thot him dead
and was about to prepare an ap-
propriate obituary. His poetical
effusion in this issue rather
lamblasts the Snowflake Herald
for not printing more news items
from our neighboring towns.
We know that such matter should
be kept up. We also know that
it is one of the hardest jobs a
country publisher has to contend
with is to get correspondents
who will give time to such. The
local news happenings of south
ern Navajo county is what our
readers want. In the summer
time we had nice line of such
news coming in. 1t appears that
most of those who were acting
as our correspondents have NOV
ed either to Snowflake or other
places, consequently we are up
against the task of selecting new
correspondents. In the mean
time, any one who will let them
write up a weekly budget and
send it in. Let such reach Snow
flake not later than Wednesday
noon of each week. 1t is a
physical impossibility to set up
much matter after Wednesday.
Mail the letters in time to be in
Snowflake post Office at noon

Enjoys Happy Birthday.

Sixty-nine and as happy as can
be-that's the verdict of Mrs.
Janet M. Smith after enjoying
one of the most lovable birthday
parties in the history of her long
and useful life.
Monday, Dec. II, was the 69th
birthday for Aunt Janet" as
everyone affectionately speaks of
her, and for the occasion she in
vited a number of elderly ladies,
those nearest her own age, among
whom were: Mesdames Augusta
Smith, Emma L. Smith, Frances
Willis. Gabrilla Willis, Lucretia
Owens, Elizabeth Kartchner,
Hap Hunt, Ellen Webb. Mary A.
Ramsay, Margaret Baird, Sarah
Richardson, Sarah Miller, Louisa
Cross and Julia Reidhead.
After dainty and paltable re-
freshments were served the dear
old ladies enjoyed a dance, Inst
like they used to" in the good
old happy days gone by.
Mrs. Janet Smith has lived on
the frontier all her long life.
She located in this section in the
year 1878.
Elias Smith accommodated the
guests by taking them to and
from their homes.
Most of the immediate family
were present and all enj joyed the
day in a style never to be for
gotten.
The Herald wishes for Aunt
Janet" many happy returns of
her natal day.
