Early Copy is Aid
in Giving Service
Repair parts for the news­
paper press arrived Munday
morning and expert machin­
ists worked a day and a half
making the necessary re.
placements and adjustments.
Consequently the plant is in
nhape for the best of service
this week and in the fu­
ture.
The result of getting copy
from correspondents and ad­
vertisers in early has been
gratifying to us and we find
that it is a material aid in
giving the best service to th«-
county, For the best result»
we still urge the necessity of
sending copy in early. Last
minute news events at the
court house and elsewhere
flood in and make a mass of
work at the last. Early news
and advertising copy is of
great value to the newspaper
that is straining every nerve
to give the best- of service.
Closing lime on advertis­
ing is Wednesday noon, but
we want it on Monday and
Tuesday when possible.
We thank you for your
splendid co-operation.
