(By 'A. B, Knox, Formorly Preprl
eter of the Woodbury, Conn., Reportor,
Address dellvorod nt tho Bummor moot
ing of the Connecticut Bditorlal aso
elation.)
At 18 years of age I was seized with
an uneontrelable deetro to own n print
ing press and enter upen a star course
of journalism, and for a liberal num
ber of dollars I became the owner of
a Star press and a few superannuated
type which an honored ex-president of
this association was witling to sell mo,
and on January 10, 1877, I oleelrlfled
the citlacna of Woodbury by letting
loose a few copies of the first number
of the Woodbury Repertcr, four pages,
eftth page 4.Vix(J Inches, A copy of
this Infant sheet fell Into the hands
of the then editor of the Water bury
AmorMn( nBrt JtB g0H,rftl appranee
m impreeeod him that he gave the lit
tie thing a puff and advised "IWItor
Knox to knock the thing in tho head."
A second number soon appeared, nnd
it chewed marked improvement nnd
increased sino, and, half n doaen or so
of tho cltiaens of the town venturing
the prise of a three months' eubsotip
tlon, tho eli I Itl began to wax fat nnd
Increase in stature,
llut It Is something humorous you
ask for. And that reminds me ef the ,
exceedingly mirth provoking expression
that fell from the lips ef a wealthy
cltlaen ef the town when he was re
quested to subscribe fer the Reporter.
"I don't care a cent about the paper,"
said he, "but here 'a a dollar to keep
you out ef the poor house," Somewhat
different was the remark of the village
blaekmatth, for he, in refusing to
have hie name added to the aobeoriet
tlon list, said, "I can get all the news
I want In tho Now York Herald."
The situation wan somewhat humor
ous la the pioneer days of the paper,
whew the editor was Informed by the
Irate young husband that the announce
ment ef a birth ef a son In his family
wan premature by a number ef moons.
Said Item was reported as a fact by a
single young lady in order to get even
with her one time sweetheart. And
oqually funny was the experience ef
the editor some months later when he
printed the society item seat in under
a forged signature announcing the en
gagement of a prominent society cou
ple, when the Vrutk we the young peo
ple had never catered into na entang
lement of so strange a nature.
Quito dtlferiftrrwere tho woec of a
middle aged spinster who entered my
0JK00 and tendered for4 publication a
half column article la which she pain-
'futty "scorched" her neighbor,
against whom she had a doaen or more
grievances. As I vam about ready to
go to press I informed her that I had
ne space for so lengthy an article, "Na
spaool" sold she, whipping out an obi
copy of the paper and pointing to the
advertising eolumos. "Look at all
that whit space ia those advortiso
meats that ain't filled up. You've
room enough, but you daea't print Itl"
fitpwlly latjooioua was tho remark of
another splaMer who cultivated a
grudge against a widower and tkoofht
to give him fits In tho Koportor. After
rajtdtag her fiery article I Informed
her that le publication would libel the
gowiloman, whereupon she exploded as
followoi "Libd that old eoeal Holy
Moseel Geedbyl"
I summing up the few assets that I
pianees sd aHrag the years of work on
the Koportor I am inclined to rot tact
aa the most valuable. It require tact
to win friends in newspaper work, 'Past
le better than a college edueaioa if
om can have but one.
A subscriber from an adjoining town
frowned in upon me one day and fierce
ly exclaimed "Step sending me that
paper. I don't want it any longer."
After bowing the gentleman out of the
oftlee and erasing his name from the
subscription list I penned a, nice Ittle
"puff" about him, and It appeared ia
the current issue of the paper. Three
days after the Reporter waa issued
my agricultural friend walked ia and,
raaebiug out tha price of a gear's sub
scription, remark, "My wife says
Die can't got along another year, and
lot me have a doaen copies of this
week's issue; " This was tact put to
geod use. The want of taet was well
Illustrated ia the early days of my
newspaper experience. A gentleman
called to see me on business and Inci
dentally Inquired about the success of
the Reporter. I told him I had aeeured
a few subscribers lu hia town and stat
ed that thero was one old lady there
who refused! to take the paper. ' Know
ing that she was a woman ef means,
I asked the gentleman if he did set
think that oae was stingy and mean.
Tf replied: "I haven't foaitf her "so.
She's my mother." The lesson was se
vere, but has bees of lasting yalue.
