SPECIAL NOTICE
TO COUNTRY CORRESPONDENTS,
S j many communications reach us from people who ignore the rules set down for their guidance, that a vast amount of unnecessary labour has been thrown upon us. This week, we have a large batch of country notes which we have been unable to revise, on account of illness, and we certainly cannot insert them -vithout revision.
To economise labour and space, in future, we have resolved to consign to the waste paper basket all communications that do not strictly comply with the rules published every week. These rules are few and plain, and people who do not observe them will be assumed to be non-subscribers.
If there Bhould be an urgent demand for insertion of courtship and other personal items debarred by our rules, we may be induced to open an advertising column for such communications, at reasonable rates. People will ' pile it on ' and ' cut a dash. ' till the crack of doom, we make no doubt, but the record of their doing so becomes infernally monotonous, so our resolve is to have no more of it in our news columns. • The country items that follow are selected with a view to showing what style of news will be accepted.
