THE NEWS FROM FILLMORE Public Affairs and Local Happenings it the County Seal Will Cumming and Joe Smllh are back front their trip through Idaho, where they have been buying furs and hides. They rcpoi t business good. County Assessor Leslie (leoie Is ruit looking out for the total number of your cattle, horses, and dollars. He thinks the assessed valuation of Millard Mil-lard county this year will he about four million dollars. Last Saturday another fall of unow was had a fluffy fall of about three inches. The old lady Kassmiisseii, who Is living with her son, Lars, met with a painful accident a few days ago. She was silting by the stove and her dress caught fire. She was quite badly burned before the lire was put out. Mrs. F.d Frampton left for Salt Lake City recently. It Is rumored that she will return with a fine lot of spring mllliuery. Quite a number of people In Fillmore do not take kindly to Mr. Dressers' write-up of the Fast Side, which appeared ap-peared two weeks ago. They accuse him of 'knocking Fillmore," etc. It seems that tho Chronicle Is getting1 Into u bad predicament In the county seat, with some people after the correspondent's cor-respondent's scalp, and the rest ready to tar and feather the editor. Just what was In Mr. Dressers' mind when he wrote his article we do not know, but some time ngo we talked with him and he expressed the friend llest feelings toward Fillmore, and we conclude that the trouble has grown either out of some expression carele.u-ly carele.u-ly stated, or through a misinterpretation misinterpreta-tion of what he wrote. The editor has to write with bis left hand, arid Hint Is very hard work. It Is to be wondered won-dered at. that after plodding through the long article upon Fillmore and lloldeli. he was not completely savage at the whole Fast Side for furnishing so much to write about. (Now smile as you read the above nnd don't get angry.) When one speaks, one's Intent Is shown by the expression of the face. In writing, however, the smile or sparkle spar-kle of the eye does not always show through the cold words In type. This Is the reason that the best Intent lotted editor or correspondent Is contlnuully getting Into trouble. The writer of this remembers having his -inger stirred by an unfriendly editor, to Us extreme depths. His only regret now-Is now-Is that he did not smile immediately at what was said and promptly foig'.t It. Good nature Is the best medicine for most troubles. And It Is a sort thing that anger hurts no one so ninth as the one angry. When the little piece that hat aroused a certain district dis-trict Into such Irate feelings against the Chronicle's unworthy correspond cut. was handed to that same correspondent, corre-spondent, he saw nothing In it to mouse any one's anger, and for the life of him he can't see jet what ha( caused the trouble or what isn't true about It. Perhaps, he will learn afier a while, and when that time comes he is willing to write as long an nrtic'e as the editor will allow to correct those mistakes. An esteemed gentleman hit a maxim that Is very true:"l'eople tails tiMi much." and It appears that papers olien talk too much to get a long sub scrlptlon list. Hut the trouble lies In ' not knowing, always. Just what bit of I innocent looking writing Is going to cause the trouble. It should be a cor respondent's duty to write nothing that might lose the paper a subscriber, .mi! Ii Is Inconceivable that n paper owei th public any bit of news that Is go-lag go-lag to raise a row. (Especially Is this true In Fillmore, where the one thins that Is needed above all Is a united pur ! pose to make this historic city some ' thing better than It has been.
