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

The firm aud unhcSitating support given by the
Rock Island Argus 10 the administration in it,
efforts TO put down the rebellion punish treason
and maintain the government, commends the pa.
per to all union men n journal which truly rc.
iect' the popular will, aud one which ought to
be sustained But ii is ouy by extending It's sub,
scription list and hy increased advertising and
job printing patronage that the establishment
can sustain itself, We have no county patronage
Oh which to rely for support and the weekly cx.
p"nscs OF the Office exceed its receipts, because
the people are so negligent about paying
Mcu OF all parties say the Argus ought to be
sustained, But the only way to sustain il 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
suggcstiony 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
telcgraphic reports II is thus enabled to furnish
lis readers with later news than any other paper,
no matter where it Is printed. This considcra.
ton alone ought to induce the people OF this, and
adjoining counties TO give il q liberal support
TO the people of our own county II Is, We think,
deserving of their hearty support IL speaks
their sentiments in regard to the war without
reserve, and has done 50 from the commencement
of hOStilitcs-and il furnishes them with the
latest news. In addition TO this il 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 the agricultural society; the pro.
rcciingS OF local conventions, county meetings,
teachers Institutes full election returns, home
markets. etc, etc. The local news, which every
person in the county ought 20 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
Igg,m WHY then, should not the people OF our
county, ~ well as adjoining counties show their
desire to sustain It by subscribing for it, and pay
ing Tor it., now?
