How to Sustain your Local Paper.
Lay aside your fears that the Bdi-
tor will got rich faster than bis neigh
bors. Wo have never heard Of man
making morslthsn a decent living by
population ofn country newspaper,
even if he had ever such a good busi-
ness. A case in point is an acquain-
tanco Of ours, who has been publish
ing some six or sovcn ycars, has had
all the business Of his own town aud
county, and a largo portion Of that of
the surrounding; but With all this, he
gets iu.o tight pinchOs for money
to buy his white paper with as any
other publisher with whom We are
acquainted.
If the paper agrees with yoar ways
Of thinking, subscribe and pay for il,
and persuade your nelghbors Of the
samo mind, to Ego and'do likewise
Do not tell tho editor to send you the
paper, without paying, and when you
Iget to owe two or three dollars tell
your friends who speak Of II, sthat
tho paper is of no account, tha. IL
will burst up ono oftheso days. The
way, under such state Of the case,
to keep a paper from q bursting up"
is for each subscriber to keep tho cd
itor's books free from charges against
himself aln
This thing Of applying the credit
system to the newspaper busines may
be likencd to a farmer selling out his
crop, a bushol to mau. Tho sum
each owes for bushel does not seem
of any account to the debtor, but tho
aggregate Of these bushels may make
or break tho poor deliver in tho soil.
If you have a father, mother, sister
or brother or friend Of uny kind, resi-
ding at a distance, aud arc able, sub
scribe, pay for aud send them a copy.
If you have any printing you wish
done, do not "jew " the editor down
TO a starvation price, aud when he
comes to make purchase of you
"spike on the tariff
If you havo any advertising or jot
work you wish done, take it to your
I county phpcr, except perhaps, you
0 may wish to advertise in more thar
b ono paper. ~ usFul at' n'f
DO notrun Otto the city to get you
Q handbiIls, labels, cards, &C., printed
: because, forsooth, you cahgct re
. duction Of few ccnts'in price. Sup
f, port your own as you wish to be sup
ported. A man who Is always run
ning away from home with his bust
moss, little deserves the patronage o
Q the community in which he lives and
as far as We are concerned, such viii
receive the 'cold shoulder" l'''"
Q Do not expect much Of a pape
! whom an editor is driven to be hi
: own eompositor, proof reader, press
0 man aud "deyil, aud has to run al
: over town every forenoon in the vail
D search for "quartcr" to buy some
thing for his dinner,
Do not expect tho editor TO mal'
honorable mention of you or your
business ovory few weeks for nothing,
Tbs space in a paper, aud a mans
time, nro worth something, and every
notice comes back to the drawer Of
the recipient in dollars aud cents.
An editor should not be allowed to &c
hungry, barobasked or barefooted.--
They cal, ,A"drink and wear, just like
other people, 4a,o R
If the editor owes you shilling
do not chase him FROM 'rosy morn t'
balmy eve" for il, and when you hap
pen to got the balance on tho Other
side, cut tho geutleaan's acqain-
tance." at t'e 80. Sid
Finally, if you wish to proper,
sustain your county pSper, TO live th'
balance Of your days Ia pca,c will
God and man, aud occupy scat il
Paradise after death, practice tn
i, Golden Rule. ADO unto others a
you would wish they would do unit
YOU under like circumstances.
