CORRESPONDENCE

That The Star is favored by hay ing the best staff of correspond ents to be found in any county in Arkansas is the absolute belief ot the editor, and the convention of the Arkansas Press Association at Hot Springs June 15 Co IS, at which time the correspondence Tn The Star will be compared to that of other papers of the state. To be at the head is The Stars de- sire. and it feels it is the desire of each of our community writers to help win the honor, and the work of the next few weeks will tell the story. And here, please allow the editor to urge that real news be sought. Actual comment on con ditions of various crops will be desirable, and anything that tells of progress. either individual or community. But please omit iteIns of mere neighborhood visit ing, some one taking dinner with someone else, or Sally Jones go- ing to Sunday school, or Billy Doolittle going riding with Sally Doomuch--please leave such out and then the editor will not have to cut them out.
 But let's have the best, livest correspondence page in Arkansas. We can if we try.--Editor.
