\ The motive that should actuate the people
of a town In support of its local paper is
one of pride. Ii Is one OF self interest No
one feature of Il town has greater bearing
upon the importance of that town than Its
newspaper People abroad judge very cor
rectly OF the business and intellectual merits
of place by the character and appearance
Of its newspaper
Itmtters not how many newspapers man
takes; his list is incomplete without his
home paper. Every citizen, who wishes
well for his locality, should give generous
support to his home paper II that paper
Is not just such AS he would wish, he should
feel that himself and neighbors arc re-
sponsibe in measure, for its short comings.
Give Il papera liberal support, an active sym
patly, and it will Instantly respond to such
manifestations. Let an editor feel that his
efforts are appreciated and he is the most
responsible being on earth; his paper being
part of himself he is AS sensitive TO praise OF
censure as II doating father.
Nothing can supply the place Of the home
paper. Ii the mirror in which the town and
neghborhood news is reflected; in the social
political and religious circle where printed
it fills place no other paper can. When d
need for economy compcls the eurtailing o
your newspaper list, strike oil every Other
one before you say TO the publisher of yonl
