MRS GALBRAITH
To Our Correspondentp.
The New Era leas a number of good
oorreetiondents In fact we have sev-
eral of the very. best 'correspondent' it
has ever been the privilege of a Raper
to have. • We appreciate their efforts
in giving es good weekly budgets of
news of their districts. 11pm:fever, it
frequently happens that in some cesee
we are forced for various reasons to
stroke out some of the items sent.'
Some items are not sufficiently inter-
esting, For instance, it is not of inter-
est to all to know that a certaireyoung
men spent Sunday'evening at a certain
home This is a case which interests
two only,and in fact, is not repotted OS
a matter of news at all, but sunply nes
a 'Wive". Then again, items are sent
in that. so and so visited so and so on
Sunday, when only a half mile divides
them. This is not news, neither as it
interesting to know that one eeightein
called upon another. • To report visit-
ors from a dietetic(' is all right, but we
'must drawthe line at these neighborly
calls. •
Occasionally we have items Sent in
that in oureaund seem to be correct
and of valuen'but in time ace proven to
be absolutely Without foundation and
can be given with no other purpose than
to misrepeesent and cause ill -feeling
among neighbors. Itis -difficult for us
to check this kind of thing. Happily,
however, we have no regular corres-
pondent who will be guilty of such,
and we Would strongly advise occas -
zonal writers to "cut it out". Give us
a write-up of events of general interest
and we will appreciate it, an feel safe
iu statin i6 that our readers also appre-
ciate the siting. The general satisfac-
tion expresso l with the New Era in the
*rural district shows that our corres-
"pondents are doing good work: Where.
there is room for improvement accept
the opportunity,.
