TEMPORARY.

AS we stated in the last issue, those
who have items for publication will
please get them to US on time. For the
present we have a temporary arrange
ment to have most of our type set out of
town and sent to US by express, and it
is very difficult to set any copy that
comes in on the day we print-that is
on Thursday or Monday. We hope this
is only temporary and the time may be
short. We have not yet gotten an oper-
ator and until we do the only thing we
can do is to do the best we can and
keep the paper going.
We do not care to have any more of
those operators who can not make good.
1t is only waste of their time and our
money. Some of the copy we are hand
ling now is little old, but it was in
hand on time and we are printing it so
that we may keep the record Of events

JUST A WORD.

We are sending to each subscriber
whose time is out January l, or prior
thereto, nice little letter telling him
when his time is out and kindly asking
him to renew and gently saying that if
he does not this will be the last paper
until he does, that he will receive. We
got little behind with oui composition
and have not corrected our list for some
time, but we are going to do so before
We print again, and we would be glad
to hear from you with your remittance.
With The Herald and News at the old
price, we must have the money as we
go, or there will be no go, and then we
may not send notices, and you had bet
ter look at the date after your name on
the label. We want all of you to remain
with US and enjoy the good things we
are going to print during the year, and
they are going to be many, and if you
do not remain you will be the loser. The
war will be over in the early spring, or
certainly during the present year, and
things will get back to normal and good
will will assume control Of the human
man and everything will move smooth.
And you will be lost without the old

We are printing in this issue some
matter that we had hoped we would
have for Tuesday, but the mail failed

Sunday for Clinton, but it did not reach
Clinton until 5 clock on Monday and
while Mr.. Frank Hammond, the operc
ator for the Jacobs company, who is
doing our composition temporarily, was
kind enough to phone us that he would
set it that night and send it down on
Tuesday morning, We decided 20 print
with what we had.
It would seem that we have had our
share of troubles along this line and we
are hoping that the end is in sight, and
we are only going to work the harder
and ask for the cooperation Of our
friends and patrons Without their TO-
operation we can accomplish bat little.

THE RURAL POLICE.
e. H. a.

We understand that petitions are be-
ms circulated in this cc~n,y asI.-.s &c
legislative delegation to remove the
rural police. This is a step backward.
1t is true that the law in this county is
being enforced. 1t is true that the
liquor situation is we'll under control. 1t
is true also that very little crime is COM
mitted in this county. The rural police
might not make an arrest in a year, if
it is not necessary they should act. 1t
speaks we'll for them and the other
county officials that they do not have to.
The rural police are under the control
Of the sheriff, and there is not minute
of the day or night that a phone call to
either the sheriff s Office or his dwelling
will not bring to your door an officer.
We suppose that so far as the sheriff
is concerned he would have less work
not to have them, because he would not
have the power to arrest for certain
crimes without warrant that these Off
GERS have, as there is special power III
vested in them.
IN plain words, to do away with these
lcdleers means that you go back to the
OLD way you did six years ago.
II man breaks in your house at
night, steals your chickens, or commits
any other crime you Will have to go be-
fore a magistrate, swear out a warrant
and wait until the constable goes and
arrests him.
The rural police are primarily for the
protection Of the people who live in the
rural districts, and we do not believe
they want to do away With them, even
if they are not all the time in the coun-
try. The point is the man who may be
thinking about some crime is held back
by the very fact that he does not know
where these officers are and he does not
know but that they may be somewhere
very near. The town dwellers have the
protection of the police. If the country
dwellers do not want these officers taken
away they had better see the members
of the delegation and let their wishes be
known, The cost Of the two for the
county is only about 1000 a yeal and
the town pays part Of that, while the
country or rural district does not pay
any part of the cost Of the policemen
for the city.
The less police officer has to do the
better for the community in which he
operates, The very fact that you have
| these officers is q deterrent in the COM
mission Of crime. And these rural police
should not have regular beats. They
should 50 arrange their routes that the
people may not know where they are
and thus be expecting them at any time.
It would be mistake to remove them.
They are worth all they cost to the peace
and good order of the county, and the
act that they do not have to make many
arrests Is to their credit as well as to
| 5he credit of the people of the county.

THE NEW YEAR.


But not new year homily. Not d
new wear resolution, either, is it our pur-
pose to write We simply desire to thank
our friends and patrons who have been
true and tried during the periods of
stress though which we have passed dur
ing the year just closed. The difficult
ties and trials Of the old year have been
many and hard. We have tried to smile
and to do our duty amid them all as best
we could, and for the friends who have
been loyal and true we are thankful
Everything is out Of joint and moth
ing moves as in the days Of yore, and
We suppose it is more difficult the older
you are to get adjusted properly to tbs
new order Of things that has come upon
the stage Of action.
We are doing the best we can to ad
| Just ourselves and the more worries and
annoyanees that we have the more pleas
ant we try to be, and 60 on trying to do
our duty.
1t is going to be our effort to make
The Herald and News better as the
years 60 by. It gives US comfort and
lightens the burden for those who have
been with US during the years to come
along and renew their subscriptions and
say, as they do, we just can t get along
without the old paper, that it seems like
something is missing and wrong when
it fails to come, that it is like some mem
ber of the family has gone and the old
place seems lonely.
But, dear friends, it takes not only
! hard work to make the paper, but it also
takes more cash to make the wheels go
rounds, and we have not Increased our
subscription price, and, therefore, you
should be ready and willing to cooper
ate by renewing promptly and thus help
to make the load light by your substan
tial cooperation as well as by your kind
words. The one gives the editor encour
agement to work the harder, and the
other helps him to make the ghost walk
Oh Saturday q noon, and you should
know that i VI ghost should fail to
walk on Saturday afternoon there would
be no one left to make a paper on Mon
day afternoon. We are going to make
all our mails now henceforth, and we
are going to do so even if we have to
omit some important local item, or even
an advertisement. Let every one take
due notice.
The trials and tribulations through
which The Herald and News ehas passed
during the recent few months would fill
book if written, but we tell our trou
bles to the policeman, or keep them to
ourselves, and generally do the latter.
1t is an old but true saying that when
you laugh the world is ready to laugh
with ovu, but when you weep and moan
you weep all alone, or words to that eff
feet, so we are laughing and smiling and
ask yop to smile and laugh with US. We
can go this road but once, and we try
to scatter flowers and sunshine as we
go, rather than thorns and clouds.
May each and every reader of these
lines have happy and prosperous year
is our sincere wish. It always gives US
pleasure to see other people happy and
prosperous, and there is no envy in our
heart. We take courage as we start
upon the new year, and having an opti-
mistic spirit, we look for better things
in the future.
