Every community Is. and ought to feel,

county paper especially when that paper is

and intelligence, and especially when that pa
per cannot very well get along without bis
support, is poor apology for man. lie is
not only doing great wrong to the commu

ing greater wrong to himself. For. after
all, the man who won't take paper, DO how
you can fix it." does himself greater harm
than anybody else. We cant very well see
how man, who wants to occupy the position
of man in the world, can get along without
reading newspapers, especially the newspa'
pess printed where he lives.
We have been led to write this paragraph
at seeing some earnest appeals put forth for
patronage by two or three most excellent
country papers in Virgioia--papers that ought
to be well aud literally supported by the COM
munities in which they are located 1t is
shame that any well conducted newspaper
should have to beg people to support it. The
people are immensely the gamers in the con-
tract between themselves and the press. The
press, it is true. furnishes its copducte~.. the

but il furnishes those wbr get its issues with
that which is far better than silver and gold

der instruction more than four millions Of
children; at cost annually of more than six
teen millions of dollars.
And yet with all this vast expenditure the
astounding fact appears that MORE THAN A
MILLION 1,053, 42o) of our free population
orer f'ecnty gears Of age, cannot read and
