We Want the News

The Star Herald would be glad If
all church organlz atoms, lodges and
societies would elect a permanent
reporter to the Star Herald from
their church, lodge or society, to
furnish us with a report of all spec.
ial .erviees, election of officers, spec
lal meetings, dInners, suppers, pro
grams, 10 fact anything that would
be OF any interest to the orgsnIzl-
tion or the public. 1t Is our busi-
ness and we are here to publish all
the news for all the people. II
your church or lodge is not repre-
sented in the Star Herald 1t is not
the fault Of this paper. There are
a dozen or more lodges in Pooshon
tss and only one or two have
a peimln reporter. Oue or two
of the church societies only make
regular reports to the paper. We
would emphasize the importance of
having a reporter from the schools
to furnish items of interest regard
ing their progress each week. Let's
all wake up and put Pocahoutas
and the county On the map every
week.
