World-Herald.
Courtesies Exchanged For
The local paper is expected to
make mention of all public meet
ings and entertainments , musical ,
literary or social , to write up lec
tures , , wedding , suppers , bazaars ,
and other like happenings in the
community and if it fails to do so ,
it is censured as wanting in enter
prise , etc. For the reporter to at
tend all these things and pay ad
mission fees would keep him bank
rupt. Yet only occasionly is a
paper favored with invitations and
complimentary tickets. Of course
this is not intentional , nor is this
article intended as a bid for com
plimentary tickets. It is the sole
purpose of this mention to remind
people that the paper , of which so
much is expected , should always
be favored with an invitation to
these public entertainments and
functions. Of course the paper
could then either have a represen
tative present or it would arrange
with some one to furnish data for
a satisfactory write-up. To ignore
the paper and then censure it for
not giving account of such meet
ings is unjust as it wants to give
all the local happenings and it can
not do so unless it is assisted. If
the editor and reporter had free
passes to everything of the kind
mentioned , they could not attend
half of them , but they would know
that if they should attend they
would be welcome and would not
be intruders. They would know
also that their efforts to give the
local news and current happenings
are appreciated. Tyler Democrat
