DROP THAT PAPER.-The AL

to "drop that paper"
Yes, drop it. Too niggardly
and mean to subscribe and pay for
your local paper, which is laboring
steadily for the promotion of the
welfare of society-for your vel
fare-you have been sponging on
your neighbor ever since it was
established. You are always eager
to read it, and frequently before
it reaches the hands of its honora
BILE owner, it is crumpled and torn
by your filching fingers. Drop it
Never pick it up and readitagain,
unless you can do so with the con-
sciousness that you have the right
secured in a legitimate way. Be
a man and help us in our next
volume.
You are the one we mean; you
who read your neighbours paper,
and enjoy for nothing what he
pays for; you who enjoy free Of
cost the results of our hard labor.
Do you know you are a thief! Dc
you know that you are not only
actually stealing from us, but from
him? File! for shame! Be a man
and pay your way! What is q
dollar and a half, or two dollars,
or ten dollars, towards the salts
faction to be obtained from having
things Of yo@r oson, of feeling .
decent sef-respect, of having al
your own personal property, en-
tertaining reading matter? Pay
for your paper. You will moi
miss the money, and you will gain
a pleasure, an amount of instruc
ton worth many times more thar
anything else you will pay tina
money for. Drop it, get one o.
your own, and be a man.

To the Farmers Of Bossier.

Our attention has been turned

the country as the only panacea

fore determined to offer to the far

inducements to subscribe for this

ture, such articles as we think
would be interesting to our far

our subscribers to discuss in a
short and pithy way all subjects
directly concerning agriculture
and horticulture and fruit culture,
&c. Our space will not admit of
lengthy discussions.

bers who have anything for sale
in the way of produce, or farming

pect to open special column for
that purpose. We would like to
know the price and quality of the
articles for sale. A short notice

We expect this column to be of
great interest to the country and
profit to the farmer. We often
hear that farmers complain that
they have no sale for their pro
duce, when they do nothing to let
the people know what they have
for sale. We therefore earnestly
invite our farmers to send in their
statements and to revise them fire.
