The Rock Island Argus.
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE UNION.
ESTABLISHED IN ls5l.)

The firm and unhcsitating support given by the
Rock Island IfgS 10 the administration IN its
efforts to put down the rebellion, punish treason
and maintain the government commendS the pa
per to all union men a. II journal which truly re-
fleets the popular will, and one which ought to
be sust lncd But it is only by extending its sub
scriptiun list and by increased advertising aud
job printing patronage that the establishment
can sustain itself We have no county patronage
on which to rely for support. and the weekly cA,
pcnscs of the office exceed its receipts, because
the people are so negligent about paying.
Men of all parties say the Argus ought to be
sustained hut the only way to sustain il IL to
subscribe for it, and pas for Il, aud urge your
friends and ncighbors to do the same. viii every
man who reads this act Immediately upon this
suppestiony And will every man who owes us
ANYTHING send in the small amount, at onceE
The argus is the largest and most handsomely
printed paper in this county, and is the only pa
per in this or any adjoining county that takes
tclegraphic reports. 1t is thus enabled to furnish
It's readers with later news than any other paper,
no matter where it is printed. This considcra.
ton alone ought to induce the people of this, and
adjoining counties to give il a liberal support
To the people of our own county il Is, we think,
deserving Of their hearty support. 1t speaks
their sentiments in regard to the war, without
reserve, and has done 50 from the commencement
of hostties-and it furnishes them with the
latest news. In addition to this, it is the only
paper in the county which publishes iull reports
of all county matters, such as the proceedings of
the board of supervisors; the proceedings oi the
city council the proceedings Of the courts; the
proceedings of the agricultural society; the pro.
rcedings Of local conventions, county meetings,
teachers institutes, full election returns, home
markets. etc, etc The local news which every
person in the county ought TO know, cannot be
had in any paper printed outside OF our county,
and no paper printed within the county gives 80
full. complete and reliable county news as the
.4rqls. Why then should not the people OF our
county, as well as adjoining counties show their
desire TO sustain it by subscrbingto for it, and pay
ing for it, now?
