It is a country town where, as the song goes, you know everybody and they all know you, and the country newspaper office is the social clearing-house. When a man has published a paper in a country community f6r many years, he knows his town and its people, their strength and their weakness, their joys and their sorrows, their failings and their prosperity--or if he does not know these things, he is on the road to failure, for this knowledge must be the spirit of his paper. The country editor and his reporters sooner or later pass upon everything that interests their town. In our little newspaper office we are all re porters, and we know many intimate things 4 In Our Town about our people that we do notprint. We know, for instance, which wives will not let their husbands endorse other mens notes at the banks. We know about the row the Baptists are having to get rid of the bass singer in their choir, who has sung at funerals for thirty years, until it has reached a point where all gqod Baptists dread death on account of his lugubrious profundo. Perhaps we should take this tragedy to heart, but we know that the Methodists are having the same trouble with their soprano, who flats -and has flatted for ten years, and is too proud to quit the choir under fire as she calls it and we remember what a time the Congregationalists had getting rid of their tenor. So that choir troubles are to us only a part of the grist that keeps the mill going. As the merest incident of the daily grind, it came to the office that the bank cashier, whose retirement we announced with half a column of regret, was caught 3 500 short, after twenty years of faithful service, and that his wife sold the homestead to make his shortage good. We know the week that the widower sets out, and we hear with remarkable accuracy just when he In Our Town has been refused by this particular widow or that, and, when he begins on a school-teacher, the whole office has candy and cigar and mince pie bets on the result, with the odds on the widower five to one. We know the woman who is always sent for when a baby comes to town, and who has laid more good people of the community in their shrouds than all the undertakers. We know the politician who gets five dollars a day for his 6 6 services at the polls, the man who takes three dollars and the man who will work for the good of the cause in the precious hope of a blessed reward at somefuture counv convention. To know these things is, not a matter of pride it is not a source of annoyance or shame it is part of the business...Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 25x229x152 mm;Gewicht: 745,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: september 2007;ISBN10: 054855241X;ISBN13: 9780548552414; Engelstalig | Hardcover | 2007.
