The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1862-01-23
The Rock Island Argus.
ESTABLISHED IN ls5l.)
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE UNION.

The firm and unhcsltating support given by the
Rock Island Argus to the administration in its
efforts to put down the rebellion, punish treason
and maintain the government, commends the pa
per to all union men as II journal which truly re-
fleets the popular will and one which ought to
be sustained, But it is only by extending its sub.
ScriptOn list and by increased advertising anu
job printing patronage tina, 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 80 negligent about paving.
Men of all parties say the Argus ought 10 be
sustained. But the only way to sustain it is to
subscribe for it, and pay for il, and urge your
friends and ncighbors to do the same. Will every
man who reads this act Immediately upon this
SUGGESTION And will every man who owes us
ANYTHING send in the small amount at oncey
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
teepraphic reports. ii is thus enabled to furnish
its readers with later news than any other paper,
no matter where il is printed This considera'
ton alone ought to induce the people of this, and
adjoining counties to give it Liberal support.
TO the people of our own county 1t is, VIZ 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, it 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
city council: the proceedings OF the courts the
proceedings of tho agricultural society; the pro.
reedings 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 it by subscribing for it, and pay
ing for it, now!
