It may have other aims, such as to give the merchants a chance to tell of their goods in its columns or to try to influence public opinion through its editorial columns; or to amuse or instruct; but first of all, it must give news. Some of this news is not easily obtained and no editor can cover it without assistance. Therefore, ive ask our readers' assistance. Especially is this true when you have visitors. Many of the ladies think that personals are the whole paper. Your visitors usually are glad to have their names printed. So send them in. Sometimes people come in and give the impression that they are asking a favor when they want us to insert the names of their friends who have been spending a few days with them. No person need feel that way who has item of real news.
