Daily scold
Last week, the High Point Enterprise began running a "Prep for Market" box on the front page of its Local section:
"20 days until the official opening for the 2005 fall International Home Furnishings Market. High Pointers need to polish their southern hospitality."
High Pointers do NOT need to be lectured about their manners by the local newspaper.
Somebody got the message. In today's "Prep for Market" box -- 17 days until market -- the offensive exhortation was dropped.
