The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1862-01-18
The Rock Island Argus.
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE UNION.
ESTABLISHED IN ls5l.)

The firm aud unhcsitating support given by th'
Rock Island irg,s to the administration IN IL
efforts TO put down the rebellion, punish treason
and maintain the government commcnds the pa
per to all union men as journal which truly re
fleets the popular will, and one which ought t
be sustiincd But it is only by extending its sub
scriptOn list and by increased advertising ah'
job printing Patronage that the establishment
can sustain itself We have no county patronag,
On which to rely for support and the weekly cx
penscs of the Office exceed its receipts, because
the people are 80 negligent about paying.
Men of all parties say the Argus ought TO be
sustained, But the only way to sustain il is "a
subscribe for it, and pay for Il, and urge youi
friends aud ncighbors TO do the same viii ever,
man who reads this act Immediately upon this
sucgestiony And will every man who owes us
ANYTHING send in the small amount, at once!
The Aryos 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
tecgraphic 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 1t II liberal support.
To the people of our own county it is, We think,
deserving of their hearty support. IL speaks
their sentiments in regard to the war, without
reserve and has done so from the commencement
of hostilities-and it furnishes them with the
latest news In addition to this, it is the only
paper in the county which publishes iull 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-
readings 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 aud reliable county news as the
ArgH WHY then, should not the people OF our
county Us well as adjoining counties show their
desire to sustain it by subscribing for it, and pay
ing for il, now;
TO CLUBS:
We are not anxious to extend the system of
clubbing because it gives Us no profit on our la.
Dor, but in order TO 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 irytS, 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
1t 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
is 81 cents 4 quarter, or IL cents year. Outside
the state the postage is 26 cents year.
We hope our friends in every ncIghborhood
will make immediate efforts to send us as many
subscribers a. possible.
