In Bad Taste.
i
Every once in a while the
Courier is asked to print a card
of thanks for some subscriber
who has lost a friend and whose j
gratitude goes out in sympathy
to those who were so kind in the
hour of sorrow.
The public appreciates the
motive but the thanks are as
tingling brass. The words go
in one ear and out the other
Few of us are so busy but what
we can stop long enough to call
up our friends and express our
selves in more tender language
than the most fluent writer, or
we could wait until opportunity
presents and meet our friends
face to face and there express
our appreciation for the acts of
kindness- There is no cause for
rushing into print. It is cheap
thanks. It sounds nearly as
\ empty as the husband, who,
1 with dripping tears thanked the
\ kind neighbors for their great
I “assistance in the death of my
darling wife,” and in ten days
went and married another wo
man.
The newspapers are willing to
print the card of thanks, except
that we do not like for the
world to know that we are as
cheap, or so busy that we have
not the time to go to our friends
and thank them personally, if
need be. As a matter of fact,

no thanks are necessary, either
in print or personally. No one
ever renders service in a time of
death or sickness simply to get
thanks. He does not expect
any thanks- If he did not ren
der all the assistance and help
in such a time through a desire
to help, some other motive not
necessary to extend thanks for
is evident
Some newspapers write them
thus: “We desire to thank our
many friends for their assist
1, e in the death of our beloved
one.” as though the friend had
actually assisted in bringing a
bout the death- One even went
so far after such a notice as to
say, “We will be glad to return
the favor if the opportunity pre
sents itself.”
To say the least, the card of
thanks is in bad taste and un
called for. Don’t do it. Thank
your friends when the opportu
nity presents itself, if you will,
| but even this is unnecessary and
j in bad taste. Ask yourself if you
expect or long for thanks for
such service—Blytheville Cou
rier

Asking him how he fell, the student
replied, "Notwithstanding." Telling
the anecdote a short time later the

know; and, when I aaked him how It
happened, he said, 'Nevertheless.'"—
