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

The firm and unhcsitatng support given hy the
Rock Island irguS to the administration in its
efforts to put down the rebellion, punish treason
and maintain the government commcnds the pa
per to all union men a- "A journal which truly re-
hrcts the popular will, and one which ought to
be sust lincd. But it Is only by extending its sub.
scrptiOn list and 10y increased advertising and
lob printing patronage that the establishment
can sustain itself We have no county patronage
on which to rely for support. and the weekly rN.
pcnscs of the office exceed its receipts because
the people are so negligent about paving
Men Of all parties say the argus ought 10 be
sustained But III" only way to sustain it is to
subscribe for II, and pay for Il, and urge your
friends aud ncghbors to do the same, viii every
man who reads this act Immediately upon this
,ugcestiong And will every man who owes Us
ANYTHING send in the small amount, ut once?
The irgty is the largest and most handsomely
printed paper in this county, and IL the only pa
Der in this or any adjoining county that takes
trlrrraphic reports II Is thus enabled to furnish
its readers with later news than any other paper,
no matter where it Is printed THIS considera'
ton alone ought 10 induce the people of this, and
adjoining counties to give it Il liberal support.
10 the people of our own county II 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 ho,tilities-and il furnishes them with the
latest news. In addition to this, it is the onl!
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
city council the proceedings OF the courts; the
proceedings of the agricultural society; the pro-
rceding. 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,
aud no paper printed within ~" county gives so
fun romrlctc and reliable county news as the
Arqw. WHY then, should not the people of our
county, as well as adjoining counties show their
desire to sustain it by subscribing for II, and pay.
Ing for it, now?
