SUPPORT YoHR HOME PApER.-The Gle ve-
land Herald ma kes the following sensible re-
marks in regard to local papers I've know
of nothing that is more disheart, ming to pub
fishers of country newspaper, than to be
told as he often is. when soliciting subscri-
bers. i take the Tribune Con some other huge
weekly.) and it costs me only $2a year. and
contains twice the amount of reading yours
does. when the receipts for one week Of the
Office named. would be dou bic the yearly re-
ceipts of his country newspaper and when
ifthe foreign paper was published for twenty
years, it would not result III as much benefit
to himself and the county in which he lives.
as would a single edition of his own paper.
Recollect that ifa home paper is to be sup
ported, home influence mus: 10 it. A coun-
ty acquires more prominence through lis pa
per than in any other way. and to him Who
has county interests at stake, it is an absolute
necessity. Never should such a man take a
paper printed away from home, until he is
able TO take second paper. His FIRST i'll he
his home sheet and he will so identity his
own interests with those of his county as 10
consider the payment of his subscription as
much matter OF course as the payment Of his
taxes"
