The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1862-01-13
The Rock Island Argus.
ESTABLISHED IN lS5l.)
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE UNION.

The 6rm and unhcsitatng support given by the
Rock Island Argus 20 the administration in its
efforts 70 put down the rebellion, punish treason
and maintain the government, commends the pa.
per to all union men asa journal which truly re-
neots the popular will and one which ought to
be sustained But il is only by extending its sub.
scription list and by increased advertising and
job printing patronage that the establishment
can sustain itself We have no county patronage
on which to rely for support. and the weekly cx'
penses 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. But the only way to sustain II is to
subscribe for it, and pay for IL and urge your
friends aud ncighbors to do the same viii every
man who reads this act Immediately upon this
suggestions And will every man who owes us
ANYTHING send in the small amount, at onceY
The ArgS 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
teeeraphic reports. II is thus enabled to furnish
its readers with later news than any other paper,
no matter where il is printed. This c0nsdera.
ton alone ought TO induce the people of this, and
adjoining counties TO give II aliberal support.
To the people Of our own county II is, W. think,
deserving Of their hearty support 1t speaks
their sentiments in regard to the war, without
reserve, and has done so from the commencement
latest news In addition to this il is the only
paper in the county which publishes full reports
of all county matters, such as the proceedings OF
the board of supervisors, the proceedings Of the
cty council: the proceedings Of the courts the
proceedings of the agricultural society; the pro-
reedngs 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
Argus. why then, should not the people OF our
county, as well as adjoining counties show their
desire to sustain il by subscribing for it, and pay
ing for It, nowy
