Our
Correspondence
Netica to Corrtsponisntt.
The Reporter has a list of
about twenty-five correspond-
ents. Of this number there are
about half a do*en who write
regularly, and another half a
dozen who write occasionally.
The remaining dozen are receiv-
ing the paper free and are ren-
dering no return i»vu»o iui
same. We ask you candidly, is
this right?
Our idea in having so many
correspondents is to have each
community creditably represent-
ed. We do not expect E\ ERY
correspondent to write each
week; we know that some com-
munities will not supply suffi-
cient news items for a weekly
letter, but there is no community
but will supply material for a
letter at least once a month, and
most of them could be nicely
represented twice a month.
We earnestly request each de-
linquent correspondent to here-
after be more diligent, and if
you can’t supply us the news
from your community please
send in your resignation so that
we may secure a better repre-
sentative in that community.

years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, I could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, 1 would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat-
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not i
