TO THE FRIENDS OF THE UNION.

The firm and unhcstating support given BY th,
Rock Island .irg@ to the administration IN H.
efforts TO put down the rebellion punish treason
and maintain the government, commends the pa
per TO all union men asa journal which truly re-
fleets the popular WILL and one which ough, "a
bc stiincd 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 10 rely for support and the weekly cX'
pcnscs OF the office exceed It's receipts, because
the people are so negligent about paying.
Men of all parties say the dryhS ought to be-
sustained But the only way to sustain il IL to
subscribe for il, and pay for il, and urge your

and no paper printed within the county gives so
full. complete and reliable county news as the
