We Want Our Friends to Help In Gathering News for Paper.

During the year just past, The Republican has had occasion to be under dbligations to many of its friends and subscribers for aid they have given m i-upplying interesting items for The Republican. By reason of their thoughtfullness we hpve often been able to furnish information promptly about visitors, accidents, deaths, weddings, etc., that we might otherwise never have learned about We want to ask that during the coming year our friends exercise even greater* vigilance in this matter and inform uS of all happenings in which they think the public has interest Occasionally we arc considerably embarrassed by failure to learn promptly of quite important events and generally some one connected with the affair would have been pleased to have seen It mentioned and could easily have informed us about,it. We want you to never overlook a news item. Write it yourself, if you prefer, or call The Republican by telephone, or call at the or give the facts to a, reporter. We have been able to establish some splendid bureaus of information among our friends and warn, all to understand that no news Item is too small and none' too large for us to handle. We regard as secret the source of our information. 1 Our many foreign subscribers, who represent many of the best people who ever lived in Jasper county, can often inform us of things affecting former Jasper county people. We want to know of their successes In new fields, of deaths or marriages or births in their families. A letter or a postal card containing news of thiz kind will be welcomed by us. Again, in thanking those who have aided us in the news gathering the past year, we. want to make is understood that we are deeply appreciative of every assistance given along this line.
