The Signs’ Original News Notes
By Editor
The original news notes of the SIGNS are evidently appreciated by some of our contemporaries. For instance, one Oakland paper, in its “items of interest, selected from various papers,” takes seven out of eleven of these items bodily from this paper. Some papers farther East frequently borrow largely, with no credit. Our readers ought to appreciate them at first hand. They are originally written in this office; the facts are carefully gleaned and sifted from the best sources at command during the writing. Sometimes we make mistakes, because our source of information is wrong, but never designedly. The SIGNS each week contains more important news of the world’s doings than many a provincial daily gives in a week.
