CORRESPONDENTS WANTED
The Chronicle wants a correspond

this section. These weekly letters are
not only interesting 1 u they are help

community spirit and also make the
paper more readable and entertain

Today we are making a start in this
direction. We have interesting news

and Whitmire. W’e want the news

heretofore wi!T\ be eliminated if our
people will cooperate with the com
mittee. Through the chairman, it is
stated that the tickets are to be placed

and all are urged to go and buy their
tickets without delay during next
week. There is not going to be the
usual running down, soliciting and
begging folks to buy tickets. And this
is exactly as it should be.
The Chronicle has frequently spoken
of the chautauqua through these col
umns. It is a community proposition
more than any other American insti
tution. It is a family affair and
should be thus interpreted. It stands
for community betterment and those
things that gre worth while—there
fore it deserves the support of every
citizen in the community.
For those who are to work in the
interest of the chautauqua, we be

A PERSONAL WORD
Beginning today and continuing for
the next three months, The Chronicle
will go into the homes of practically
every family residing on the new high
ways in four directions from Clinton.
Conservatively estimated, the- paper
will be read weekly by from eight to
ten thousand people.
As will he n^ted in news articles
in today’s paper, this is no selfish
move on the part of the publisher,
but one of mutual helpfulness. The
idea originated in the city’s commer
cial organization and the cost of this
extension campaign is being borne by
the paper and contributions made by
a number of the leading merchants
and business houses of the city. With
the opening of these long needed high
ways in this section, there are ad
vantages for the country along the
routes to reap, there are likewise ad
vantages and opportunities for the
town of Clinton.
With these improved taansportation
facilities, both country and city will
be benefitted. In this spirit, Clinton
wants to know the country people bet
ter, and we want you to know and
understand us. With this end in view,
therefore, The Chronicle will be sent
you for this specified period with no
obligation on your part whatsoever in
the ultimate hope that new ties of
friendship will be formed and that
our facilities and assets will be gen
erally used.
When we assumed the ownership of
the paper, we inscribed on our head-
mast these words, “The Chronicle
strives to be a clean newspaper, com
plete, newsy and reliable.’’ During
this, period we have constantly work
ed with the fulfillment of this goal
as our ambition, and we have endeav
ored as best we could to serve our
generous and patient and tolerant
readers. With due modesty, we are
happy to state that our family of
readers has continually increased and
that we have been able to make and
hold friends. So, speaking to those
who are receiving the paper today for
THE PERSONALITY OF A CITY
A Washington correspondent re
ports that at a recent White House
reception, a woman in the line, after
shaking hands with the president, re
marked with some enthusiasm, “I’m
from Boston.’’ The president replied,
“You’ll never get over it.” A? “Cal”
is intimately familiar with the famous
city of baked beans, there was truth
as well as pleasantry in his remark.
Boston has been supposed in the
past to stand for culture and conser
vatism. While the character of that
city has changed during recent years,
yet the old-timers of Boston did have
those characterisitics to a large ex
tent. So one could go through half
of the communities in the country, and
show that they have had certain traits
that they have impressed on their
residents.
Some people of course are so non
descript in character, that they re
main about the same wherever they
go. But those who are m6re respon
sive to influences about them, are
shaped by their environment.
The dominating traits of a city are
largely created by the leadership it
has in the present- or has had in the
past. A small group of people of
forceful personality can often put
their stamps on their home towns and
powerfully sway their future develop
ment.
The way to shape the character of
a city, and create a kind of .commun
ity personality that moulds the char
acter of the people, is to cherish high
ideals and standards. If those who
hold positions of influence have medK
ocre purposes, their city is not likely
to attain a. reputation for its distinct
ive excellencies. But it is possible by
a constant insistence on high aims, to
give a city certain superior character
istics, so that its institutions and faci
lities and activities are held up to high
standards, which have a tendency to
impress their fine stamp on its visit
ors. - • ' 1 -
The opening of the new highways
into Clinton brings new responsibili
ties to our city. It means that people
heretofore visiting Clinton only occa
sionally, will now in all probability,
form more intimate relations with our
town and business interests.
They will form their opinions in
short order, they will not hesitate to
decide whether they like or dislike us.
They will soon learn the personality
of our city.
Now that Cal’ has had his old hat
renovated, we suggest that he send his
last summer’s mohair down to Will
Buchanan for a first-class cleaning
job.

that you will like the paper and that
it may favorably reflect our commun
ity upon those who have not known it
so well in the past. A newspaper,
more than anything else, is a self-
made thing. It makes its own niche
in the hall of time and of fame. And
yet it derives, by reaction, all of its
influence and its power for good or
for evil from its readers. It must
needs create readers, and must needs
hold them. In this spirit, We hope to
