pressed for room or liarc an unusual nun:
her of short -r favors from correspondents
Unless upon matters of special interest t
the public, long communications are sure t
be laid aside for "a more convenient season,
and seldom appear. Tliey fail to be inter
esting ton large majority of the renders ?
a weekly paper and crowd out news an
other matter that would be more instructiv
and give greater satisfaction to the genera
reader.
Wc are pleased (o give the news in th
different sections of the county, when sen
us in short, concise form, and warn corres
pondcnls that we must curtail their favors
or omit them altogether when they encroacl
upon news of more general interest or con
tain nothing unusually interesting to lit
people. Of course, well digested article
upon abstract questions in which tho publi
welfare is concernel arc always acceptable
but our lotfg experience has t \ught us thi
? -..-i. articles lose much or their fore
and effect when they nro too wordy?i
other words, too long.
We think the greatest favor wo can di
do some i f ctir young coriespondent!
is to induce them to adopt the plan of
practical common sense gentleman we onct
heard of, who after writing an article read
it over and erased all the verbiage ; read i
again and struck out all unnecessary nu;
irrclevont sentence*, then reduced what re
nnitied to one-half, and found he had pro
duccd qui'o a respectable document out o
a mass of irreconcilable words and sen
