Ladies' Of the St. PauI's Church, to which we
alluded last week, is to take place at Coles
Hall next Tuesday evening. The object the
ladies have il view, which is the furnishing of
their House Of Worship, IS certainly COM
mendable one, and should so be regarded by
our citizens. We trust there will be a good
turnout upon the occasion, and that the amount
realized by the ladies VIII be commensurate
with the efforts they are making 70 render their
entertainment agreeable and interesting to
their guests.

good many words of truth:
"A well conducted newspaper does more to
benefit county than anything else. Do the
people feel under any obligations to support and
encourage that papeP.2 If not, they should be
without paper. First take your county paper
then take as many from q distance as you
please. Publishing a county paper is but a
dogs life at best. We have had some twelve
years experience in it,"
People do not look at this matter generally in
It's proper light. They think that their county
paper, which costs perhaps dollar and a half
q year, should be as large and well filed with
reading matter as metropolitan journals that
can be obtained at the same price Because
