Here is what Dean Abbott, OF the
Outlook thinks couNtry 2diOr
should do. This has been the pol
Icy OF The Tidings for the past ten
years and the constant development
of our subscription list indicates
Ithat it is not without its merit.
81 think tho first duty of a coun-
TRY editor is to give his readers the
local news of interest and value. BY
this do not mean high-brow news
and certainly do not mean scandal
A death, marriage, an accident
to neighbor, or the visit of neigh
Nbor TO some other community Is OF
real and vital interest to his local
ity
Il am not one OF those who poke
fun at the country weekly for say
ing Deacon Smith has Just painted
his fence 1t may be that Deacon
Smith's action will lead to a long and
important train OF events in the gen
eral improvement of the village. II
lmay even be that 1t will so encourage
the Deacon, il he is hard fisted
kind OF customer, that he will do
lsome other things in the way oil
cleaning up his place. | should say
that in the back of the country edi-
tors mind there should always be
the desire to see his community pro-
gres and improve materially. physic-
ally, intellectually and morally.
This, however, should be the spirit
that animates him. He must not be
too dldactic."
