Eye Opener of August, 1903, of which Bob Edwards was its Well-known Editor "Never state . as a fact anything you are not certain about" the great editor warned the young' reporter, "or you will get us into libel suits. In such eases use words such as alleged. claimed, reputed, rumored, and so. on" , a a a AND THEN this paragraph ap- peared in the society notes of the paper: "It is rumoured that a card party was given yesieday by a number of reputed ladies. Mrs. Smith, gossip says, was hostess. It is alleged that the guests were all from this town evrept Mrs. Bellinger, who claims she hails from Stavely., Mrs. Smith claims to be the wife of Archibald Smith, the so-called honest dealer" . s a a AT LONG LAST, the Com- munity Park is'going to become something besides a race track and agricultural park, judging from the report of the last meet- ing of Park Board as given in this paper. last week . . $500 has been set glide nirl S.
