Show CORRESPONDENCE. A GOOD live correspondence de- partment is one of the most M essential adjuncts of any successful H " county newspapor, and it is a foa- turt to which The Record has given fl considerable timo and thought, but it m is one of the hardest features to keep fl up and maintain. Comparatively few fl persons take more than a fleeting in-B in-B tcrest in the work, and soon grow fl careless and indifferent. Tlio fact H that the small newspapor cannot of-fl of-fl ford to pay very handsomely for this H! service is perhaps ono of tho most po-fl po-fl tent reasons for tho lack of interest H on the part of correspondents. fl But there is anothor sido to this fl question that tho live, progroMivc rs- fl idonts of any community not large fl enough to support a newspaper of its fl own should not lose side of: the pub- H licity that a livo correspondent can fl obtain, practicully without expense, fl for his town. And this in itself should fl bo sufficient incentivo for each town fl ' to see to it that it is represented each fl .' week in the columns of tho county fl 4 paper, ffl 1 Wo have a number of correspond- fl ents from whom wo have not heard jh j, for somo time, and some others who 9L; could, wo feel suro find considerably St-1 more news to report with a little re- 'iffi nowed offort. Will they not assist fg us in making the correspondence do- i partment of The Record ono of tho f$f - most interesting features? |
