TO CORRESPONDENTS.

All communications intended for publication in Thb Standard should be mailed in season to reach this office Wednesdays in order to insure insertion the same week. Correspondence is solicited from every township in Jasper county, upon all matters of local importance, viz., marriages, births, deaths, accidents, removals, improvements, crops, etc., etc. No yarns will be spared to make this an interesting feature of the paper, and it is the wish of the publisher that some person in each township will take the trouble to write up the news of his township and send it in for publication, and thus assist in making T»b Standard the best local newspaper in the county.
