Have you seen any questions on the

hand with an article upon the same sub
ject, which we append, as it shows that we
are not alone in cur way of thinking:
County Papers.
We have before us q copy Of the Tay-
lors Falls reporter, published in the st
CroiX Valley IN this State, but from its ad-
yertising columns are unable to gather the
least idea Of the size or amount OF business
done there. We find in it notice Of one
dry good store; a lime kiln matchmaker; !;
cobinet shop; tin shop milliner store
and one or two lawyer cards. Prom the
home patronage Of the paper we should
say that Taylor's Falls contained about a
hundred inhabitants People have a mis-

There are few such papers in Wisconsin,

intelligence are always eagerly sought
