Able regularly to get our paper early (7)
I believe the answer is:
betimes
'early' is the definition.
(I know that early can be written as betimes)
'able regularly to get our paper' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'our paper' becomes 'Times' (the newspaper which published the clue).
The alternate letters of 'able' are 'be'.
'be'+'times'='BETIMES'
(Other definitions for betimes that I've seen before include "speedily" , "Soon or early (Old English)" .)
