nee:
"N othing is more common than to
hear people talk about what they ray
newspapers tor advertising, etc, as so

by enhancing the value OF property in
their neishborhoods, and giving the
localities IN which they arc published
a reputation abroad, benefit all such,
particularly if they are merchants or
real estate owners, thrice the amount
yearly OF the meagre sum which they
pay for their support. Besides, every
public spirited citizen has a lau able

not ashamed of, even if he should pick

to make his sojourn as agreeable as ours with
him, not having as much that is attractive or
striking to strangers in our little burg with
which 10 interest and amuse him; but we did
our best showed him all the public and Pri-
vate improvements, progressing aud projected
and put our best foot foremost generally-we
hope to his satisfaction. On has part ne
proved friend in need. Arriving at the op-
FORTUNE time when the new Jobbng Press
made it's advent to the Free Press Office, and
being an experienced hand very kindly com
muuicated his knowledge and. indeed. started
the press which has been doing wonders ever
since. We thank our friend most heartily for
his visit-vish as much success 60 with him as
STAY with us, and hope he may have been well
enough pleased to come again and yet again.
