Welcoming Brother Kitt and His Saturday Evening Times.

A. J. Kitt calls his new paper at Goodland, “Goodland Saturday .Times.” Volume 1, Number 1, appeared last Saturday, and Brother Kitt prints beneath the heading: “Successor to the Goodland Register, establi®hed, in 1879.” , The initial number of The Times is of great merit. Mr. Kitt holds that the small town newspaper should serve, a higher purpose tharf recording that “John Smith autoed over to Kentland yesterday” and “Bill Green and Mandy Dinklehammer Sundayed at Podunk.” This is true, too, and many publishers who know it well are unable to get away from doing it. It is an old business argument that qpwspapers must “mention everybody” and to do this takes time and space and many, many times important things that should be discussed and that editors would like to express an. opinion concerning are pushed* back until it is too late, because the public expects to have the current happenings reflected as they occur. The big papers don’t have this to contend with. The editor and his assistants are not troubled with the local events, except to discuss them from an editorial standpoint Every department has its specialists. General news, society, sport, etc., while the advertising and circulation are also in the hands of specialists. The small town editor is not an editor; heAs a newspaper Handy Andy and his abilities must be spread over every field. He has ideas that are never expressed for want of time and space. He mixes society and politics, religion and baseball, weddings and funerals, and solicits advertising, receives and receipts for subscriptions, manages the business and sometimes sets a little type or runs a press or “makes up.” It’s a great game and is (fascinating and has its reward, but it’s mighty hard to get to the bottom of the big questions of the day, about which he holds and withholds opinions for lack of time and Space. It’s a very lofty ambition to be a real editor and all of us hope to be some time, but the country publisher with a hundred jobs looks pitiable in comparison with a metropolitan editorial writer, who ha® only a single task to perform. This article must not close without stating that Brother Kitt’s first paper contains many splendid features and apparently a rest of a few years has not taken away from his old steam, for The Times bristles with his Kittyisms and Goodland will be on the map as long as he is in the business. As to whether he can succeed or not is another thing; it is not out business. Brother Logan runs a fine newspaper and has a fine equipment and is a hustler. Mr. Kitt goes on Hie theory that there is room for both. There are two banks, several barbershops, four groceries, two meat markets, three garages, etc., and that two newspapers can survive and be happy. It is quite sure that the Goodland field will be represented by two of the best newspapers that ever appeared in northwestern Indiana. Simon Leopold made a business trip to Chicago today. S. R. Nichols passed the best night last night that he has had for a week or more and today he is feeling greatly ,refreshed and was able to sit on the porch at his residence on North Dayton street. S. M. Laßue made a business trip to Kentland Monday, returning home by way of Goodland and Remington. He says that the find rain which we received here also visited those towns.

- The rain yesterday was a dandy. It was the first Tain of any considerable amouiit. since early in June. Boys splashed about in it and grotwn-ups stood in the doorways and at the windows and watched it with great interest It was like welcoming an old friend. The rain was general throughout northern Indiana and iwill doubtless prove a great help'to all crops. Late potatoes, late com, melons, pastures and all will be benefited. Another big rain in a few days will be needed to keep the good work going, for the parched earth will absorb the moisture rapidly. Today is a cool, pleasant day, the thermometer at 10:30 this morning registering 74 in the shade. This will give the moisture an opportunity to sink into the ground, which will not be parched by a scalding sun.
