The term deadline arose during the Civil War. It described a small fence within a prison stockade that was not to be crossed by the prisoners. If a prisoner did cross the line, he was shot.

The term deadline, as defined by the Editor of Michigan's Messenger is as follows:

"Any article submissions received by the Editor after the deadline date will be shot down. The article will die and the remains will not be sent back to the author."

The Editor is a mean guardian of the deadline, so make sure your article reaches him in time and does not cross the deadline, if you wish to see your article arrive back at your home in Michigan's Messenger, safe and sound.

Please include a short lead in message stating the article is for "The Messenger" and the title, (i.e., Camp News, officer report, etc.). You may also send it as an attached file.
