The Rock Island Argus.
ESTABLISHED IN ls5l)
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE UNION.

The firm and unhcsltatlng support given by tht
Rock Island irgR 10 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
hccts the popular will, and one which ought u
be- sust aimed But il Is only by extending It's sub
scrption list and by increased advertising and
job printing patronage that the establishment
can sustain itself We have no county patronas,
Oh which 10 rely for support and the weekly 81
penses of the Office exceed its receipts, bccaus,
the people are negligent about paying,
Men of all parties say the Argus ought To be
sustained But the only way To sustain II is u
subscribe for it, and pdg for H. aud urge your
friends aud ncighbors TO do the same, Will ever,
man who reads this act Immediately upon this
surrestiony And will every man who owes Us
ANYTHING send in the small amount, at onceg
The lrgs is the largest and most handsomel.
printed paper in this county, and is the only pm
per in this or any adjoining county that takes
telegraphc reports. II is thus enabled TO furnish
its readers with later news than any other paper,
no matter where it is printed. This considera.
ton alone ought to induce the people of this, and
adjoining counties to give il n liberal support
To the people of our own county IT is VIZ 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 it furnishes them with the
latest news In addition to this, it is the only
paper in the county which publishes full reports
of all county matters such rs 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-
r.rdings 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,
aud no paper printed within the county gives so
full completr and reliable county news rs the
Argus Why then, should not the people of our
county rs well as adjoining counties show their
desire to sustain it by subscribing for it, and pay
ing for II, now;
We are not anxious to extend the system of
clubbing, because il gives Us no prOht on our la
Dor, but in order 10 accommodate those who
would not otherwise take the paper, We will furn-
ish any person, who sends US ten dollars, with
eleven copies of the Weekly argus, one year
We want only the name of the person to whom
the package is to be sent, as, at one dollar year,
We cannot afford to keep accounts with every
subscriber and mark the name on every paper
II is carried free, in the mails, to all subscribers
who live inside the county limits Outside the
county and anywhere within the state, the postage
ia 81 cents quarter, or IL cents year. Outside

We hope our friends in every ncIShborhood
will make immediate efforts to send us AS many
subscribers as possible
