NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS
We are always pleased to receive
communications for publication in
The Herald, especially news Items.
If you are in possession of uny news
that you think will be of general In
terest, or that will interest a consid
erable number of our readers, please
write it up and send It in for publt
cation.
In order that all correspondence
may be given to Herald readers In
satisfactory Bhape and without un
necessary work for the printers, we
request all correspondents to observe
the following simple rules:
1. Write on one side of the paper
only, for convenience in using the
copy In the printing office. We will
furnish regular correspondents, a-
those sending frequent commun
lions, paper, envelopes and postagt
2. Write plainly. BK BUM to
spell the names of persons correct
ly and write them so that there will
be no doubt as to how you haw
spelled them. Other misspelled
words we can correct, but many
names are spelled in two or more
different ways, so that often we are
unable to correct them if misspelled.
We van! the names of persons spell
ed the way the persons themselves
spell them.
15. The writers mut furnish ub
with their own names, not for publi
cation, unless they desire It, but
that we may know from whom the
communication! are received.
4. Date your communications.
This will enable us to make any
changes in your copy that may be
necessary in order to make the dates
inenl toned read correctly. To illus
trate the necessity for this, suppose
a correspondent writes the latter part
of the week and mentions something
that occured "last Saturday"; we r
ceive the communication the next
week, and as it is not dated we do
not know whether it was written the
week received or the preceding
week. Consequently we print It ju.-t
as written, with the result that the
incident mentioned is suid to have
occured a week later than what It
really happened. It is easy to jot
down the date on which you write
your communication. Pie do so.

ted by mistake.)
