Our people long known of Mr. abUity in the way of 8 etti Pg and presenting in a most unique way, which is entirely his own, the news from his community. He is also a philospher and humorist and his news items with com nients under the name ‘of “Abe Dennis” have long attracted attention: The Chronicle It isn’t evervbody that can write news and there is still another Mitchell, over in Glascock county, either knows the news when he sees it, or he can make news it it doesen't exist. writes tor The Gibson Record and The WarrentonClipper occasion ally, and the past week he took the opportunity to pen the fol lowing, among other things. (Here appeared a number of the n^wsy items by “Abe” which appeared in The Clip perand Record last week.) There are just a few writers who have such inside information that they can write that kind of news in such a newsy way and the entire community watch for its appearance. The local newspaper is a great asset to any community, but so few know it and set sufficient by town and county papers until there is always a dearth of appreciation manifested. How ‘ever, with plenty of local writers !may like Abe Dennis, whoever Abe be, it is quite certain that the papers would be more wide ly read, though as a matter of fact l e very subscriber now reads every printed in the home paper, iWhat they need is more subscri bers. _p rom Warrenton Clipper. _____ AVERA NEWS Regular Correspondent andMrs Frank Rollings returne( j to tbe j r home in Green wood> s c Tuesday.
