Be Sure An Read This You can be of great service to The Times if you will phone or write us when you have visited. This is the only way, we can get. all the local news of the town and county. This will not be much trouble to you and The Times will appre ciate your kindness. We copy in connection with the above the following from The Greensboro Journal: The newspaper man is blamed for a whole lot of things he can’t help, such as using partiality in mentioning visitors, giving news about, some folks and leaving oth ers out, etc. He simply prints all the news he can find. Some people inform him about such things and others do not. An editor should ’nt be expected to know the names and residents of your uncles, aunts and cousins even if he should see them. Tell us about it. It’s news that makes the newspaper, and every man, woman and child can be as sociate editor if they only will. Never apolize when you give these bits of information to an editor, for if there lives one so dead that he has lost his appreciaion of sueh favors, he is dead, indeed, to ev ery virtue that imparts value to a paper.
