The News -Record is desirous of giving all the news of Clinton and of the surrounding vicinity which is worth sprinting and all the news of the county that it can find room for, but the editor cannot possibly be in al] parts of the town nor is it pos- sible for our correspondents, howev- er efficient, to get all the news of the surrounding districts. We would, therefore, take it as a favor if our friends everywhere would keep us in mind and when anything happens which looks like legitimate news would either call us up or drop a line in the postoffice for use We lvouicl gladly furnish anyone who would act for us in this way , with stationary and postage. It is pos- sible, too, for even a person always on the lookout for newsy happenings to miss one so we would appreciate getting items from -our many Clin- ton friends. We know that many people have the idea that an editor always gets to know things but ed- itors are only human like other pee-• ple. Help us make The News -Re- cord what it has ever aimed to be, the newsiest and best paper in this good old county of Huron. A GREAT NIGHT. . Tuesdaywasa red letter day for the Oddfellows of town.
