The visitor1 from Collier’s magazine (who was in the county last week did not share this popular belief of running a country weekly paper with your feet propped up on the desk. It seems he had a friend who actually bought the country weekly and is now trying his best to sell it. He says the woik is killing him.

Edward Lockett, from Collier’s magazine, spent Thursday and Friday in Rappahannock. The purpose of his visit—so his boss said -—was to collect information on the ladies* election in Washington, but from stories running around, it is safe to say Mr. Lockett will not print many of the stories he heard — especially infc front of the Courthouse.
He was observed, seated on a bench in front of the Courthouse, with D. Lyle Miller, Willie Compton, Dr. Snead, Snippy Miller, and Charlie Sisk. Mr. Sisk was telling his life’s stor^, and if he left out a bit, one of the men would prompt him. Ladies walked a wide circle around the group. It is certain the topic of conversation was not the town election.
Mr. Lockett also collected some of Arthur -Millers atoriea—like*.. wise not on the election.
The gentleman from Collier’s said.he was coming back this week. It is to be hoped that he enjoyed his stay in Rappahannock so much that he is returning just to visit. It could be that the folks were so charming he can’t resist returning —and it could be that he preferred the stories he heard to getting dull information on an election of women and now he has to return to get the original story he started but to get.
(It could be, also, that Mr. Locket is returning to look for his glasses. He thinks he lost them somewhere in the county.)
