ESTABLISHED IN lS5lJ
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE UNION.

The firm and unhcsitatng support given by the
Rock Island irg,H 10 the administration III IL
efforts to put down the rebellion, punish Treason
and maintain the government, comlnends the pa
per to all union men rs u Journal which truly re-
fleets the popular will, and one which ought t.
be sust .ined, But it is only by extending It's sub
scrption list and by increased advertising ahd
Job printing patronage that the establishment
can sustain itself We have 10 county patronage
Oh which to RELY for support. and the weekly ex
pcnscs Of the Office exceed its receipts, becans,
the people are SO negligent about paying.
Men of all parties say the irg,e ought to be
sustained But the only way to sustain II is t.
subscribe for it, and pau for Il, and urge your
friends and ncighbOrs to do the same. VIII ever,
man who reads this act Immediately upon this
suggestiony And will every man who owes Us
ANYTHING send in the small amount, at onceS
The 1rg,ls Is the largest and most Handsomely
printed paper in this county, and is the only pa
Der in this or any adjoining county that takes
telegraphic reports 1t 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 IL Is, WI think,
deserving Of their hearty support. II speaks
their sentiments in regard to the war, without
reserve, and has done so from the commencement
of hostiltics--and il furnishes them with the
latest news. In addition to this, 1t is the only
paper in the county which publishes full reports
of all county matters, such as the proceedings oil
the board OF supervisors; the proceedings oil the
city council: the proceedings of the courts the
proceedings of the agricultural society; the pro.
reediugs 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 so
full, complete and reliable county news as the
Argus. why then, should not the people OF our
county, ~ well as adjoining counties show their
desire to sustain it by subscribing for 1t, and pa
ing for it, now
