I am a constant feader of our town’s newspaper for other less prosaic rea sons. Possibly The Chronicle is no more unusual or outstanding than many other newspapers, but that is what I like about it: its very usual ness and commonplaceness, for, after all, we ourselves are average, every day people. Our newspaper has no pretentiousness of display nor “delu sions of grandeur’’ with which it tries to impress an ungullible populace. We are simple, natural, sincere people, and we read a simple, natural, sincere newspaper. The Chronicle is a minia ture of Clinton society, and we see a cross-section of the life we live re flected in its weekly pages, t With its variety, its local news, its condensed gleanings of state and na tional affairs, and its syndicated col umns The Chronicle is a well-rounded, interestingly written, and a supreme ly satisfying newspaper. ’Through its pages I keep in touch with local civic and social events of importance. They contain a human interest element found in none of the leading daibr P** pari of our itata. Through ita adver- tisiog saetioBs Tba Chronicle acta aa a guide to thonghtful and aeonomical >U7inf.
