on the ratification by three major

This is the story he told The
Auxiary:
“The pitfalls of the profession
have always been apparent, and I
am thankful to have escaped. In-
difterenee to public sentiment,
debt and a neglect of responsibili-
ty to commanity needs may be
classed as dangerous pitfall? for
the profession.
"The rewards far outnumber
the disappointments There is sat-
isfaction in knowing that if you
sdcceed as a newspaper man you
will have reocgniticn by your
fellow townsmen. You may not
make as much money as some of
your friends, but you will enjoy
the same degree of esteem and be
a participant in all community
affairs. Your reward will always
be commensurate with the
amount of thought, energy and
care you put into your paper. I
have never seen this rule fail."
The Pittsburg Gazette has an
interesting history It was found-
ed 73 years ago by O. B Colquitt,
ar ambitious printer from Green-
ville who later bedame governor
of Texas.
W F Colquitt purchased the
. Gazette from his brother and
sold it a year later to A F Lock-
hart and associated
R B Lockhart, our editor of
the week, told his readers in a
recent story commemorating the
73rd anniversary of the Gazette:
“The key to a newspaper ca-
reer was offered when Colquitt
asked me if I wanted to be his
office boy. It was a job I had
coveted His offer was sweet mu-
sic to my 13-year-old can. and,
an indescriabje thrill when I was
handed a 'stick' and told how
to set type. From sanup 'til sun-
down. six days a week. I followed
my job religiously,’ regretting
when the hour came to quit
work." .

there will be hard work and dis-
