ATTENTION!
NEW DEADLINE
As most of our readers know our newspaper is printed by the Index-Journal in Greenwood.
Wed. June 1, the I-J announced it was cutting back on the number of days it is printing. Because Tuesday is one of the days being cut, the Standard-Sentinel must now send its pages to the printer on FRIDAY (starting this week), rather than MONDAY, so that the paper can be printed on Sunday night.
The deadline for submitting advertising, stories, photographs and classifieds is now THURSDAY by 2 p.m. We will still pick up our paper at the printers and put some papers in the stores on Tuesday morning. That will not change.
We apologize if this causes any inconvenience. The I-J says the eliminated days of publication may be reinstated if the economy improves.
Thanks, Ralph
