Howdy neighbor!
This past week, as all will doubtless have noticed, the News began a new era — appearing henceforth in the new format of a tabloid paper, adopting a uniform standard to the other newspapers published by the Conway Daily Sun family. This change is one which I am thankful to hear many of our readers are already liking (even if it was a little jarring last week at the mailbox), understating of course that the continuance of the News in this form is ever-preferable to any of the no-to-be considered alternatives.
