The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1862-02-04
The Rock Island Argus.
ESTABLISHED IN ls5l)
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE UNION.

The firm and uuhcsitatng support given by the
Rock Island IrgaS 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 a Journal which truly re.
hects the popular WILL and one which ought to
be stained But it is only by extending It's sub.
scription list and by increased advertising and
Job printing patronage that the establishment
can sustain itself We have no county patronage
on which to rely for support. and the weekly ex'
pcnses of the office exceed its receipts, because
the people are so negligent about paying.
Men of all parties say the Argus ought to be
sustained But the only way to sustain it is to
subscribe for it, and pay for Il, and urge your
friends and neighbOrs to do the same, Will every
man who reads this act Immediately upon this
sugcestiony And will every man who owes MS
ANYTHING send in the small amount, at onees
The Irq,S 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
teegraphic reports. 1t is thus cnabledt TO furnish
It's readers with later news than any other paper,
no matter where it is printed This considcra,
ton alone ought to induce the people OF TINS, ana
adjoining counties to give il a liberal support.
To the people of our own county 1t is we think,
deserving of their hearty support 1t speaks
their sentiments in regard to the war; without
reserve, and has done so 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 MS the proceedings OF
the board of supervisors; the proceedings oil the
city council the proceedings OF tue courts tle
proceeding, of the agricultural society; the pro-
rccdings 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 compIcte and reliable county news AS the
.lyg,N. WHY then, should not the people OF our
county, as well as adjoining counties show their
desire to sustain it by subscribing tor IT, ana pay
ing for it, now
