Not one person in fifty. has . proper
appreciation of the real value and ben
eft of the local newspaper. There is
scarcely local interest that is not
more or less dependent upon the local
paper for its success. Take the Coun-
ty Fair, which has become one of the
fixed institutions of the County. How
much is it indebted to the local news
paper! The publication of notices of
the Fair, the lists Of premiums offered
and the awards of premiums, is worth
more than the unreAecting man begins
to imagine. Yet all these publications
are without money and without
price," while the publishers whole cap
ital, time, means, industry, "stock in
trade" all are invested in the work of
giving extensive publicity to whatev-
err appears in his columns. What is
true of the Fair is true of other things.
Political meetings, gatherings Of pub
lie interest of all kinds, are noticed
freely and without so much as "thank
you in return. The local press ad-
vances public interest in thousand
ways, and yet its value and usefulness
appear to be unrecognized and unap-
preciated. Men are constantly found
speaking of it in disparaging terms,
while others for a trifling postage or
paltry commission make strenuous ex-
ertions to introduce foreign papers and
thus break down and exterminate the
home paper. The foreign papers are
not made up with reference to our spe-
cial wants, but their contents and in
terests are foreign and distant, and oft
en- in direct opposition and seriously
detrimental to them. To patronize
such newspapers and neglect the home
paper is not only unwise but suicidal !!
There is no stimulant to public pros
perity equal to a well-supported and
efficient local press and no truth is
more clearly susceptible Of demonstra-
ton than that private and public pros
perity, as rule, go hand in hand.

accept the position; but in the absence
of positive information on the subject,
we are inclined to think that he will
not. He has recently expressed the in
tention of leasing n grnzing farm in
Albemarle, and residing upon it with
his family. During the past week he
and Mrs. Lee have been on visit to
