The County Paper.

A great many Of our farmers and
mechanics neglect to take their coun.
ty paper, and content themselves
with q large city paper urging as an
excuse that IN tho city paper they
get = much larger amount Of reading
matter for the same money. This Is
no doubt true, But the reason is oh.
lvious. City papers have 4 circula-
ton Of thousands whcro the county
papers have only hundrcds. Besides
the city weeklies are only the matter
Of the Dailies which sases them the
entire expense Of typo setting on
their weeklieas s.
But, after all, it is the quality
more than the quantity Of reading
matter which ought to interest our
people, Local news possesses an
interest far above general news.-
What-for instance the reader
Of the Cincinnati Times, the New
York Ledger, or any Of the mammoth
city papers, know concerning the
local news Of Poweshiek county :?
just nothing at ALL But the reader
Of the County paper does know some
thing Of General News. In every
number there is brief but full digest
ofForeign, Congressional, Legislative
and Miscellaneous Intelligence, abrid-
ged in such q manner that it leaves a
fuller andmore intelligiblc impression
upon the mind than to pore over co.'s
after column in more extended form.
Every additional subscriber to the
County Paper enables it's publishers
TO make itlarger and more interest
ing; and whenever our oscn people re-
solve that they will en- masse support
their their olcn paper, then, and only
then, may they expect a lively and
efficient paper. The local or home
Markets, Is published in the county
papers, is worth to every farmer more
each year than al the sslove sick yarns
which he can CLEAN from the long col.
umns Of the Mammoth, City Papers.

We drove before the farm house

The farmer called to Mary;
Bare-armed, with Jnno's step she

Her air, her smile, her motions,

A music as Of household songs
Was in her voice OF sweetness,
An Unborn grace, that nothing lack

The warmth Of genial courtesy,
The calm Of self reliance.
Before her queenly womanhood
How dared our landlord utter
The paltry errand of his need
Ts buy her fresh churned but

She led the way with housewife

Her goodly store disclosing.
