The Paper has too many Advertisements

The Paper has TOO many Advertisements.
Many well disposed persons frequently com.
plain of their county papers, because they
occupy so large space with advertisements.
This fault-fnding is generally well inten-
toned, but it arises from misconception OF
the business Of publishing a newspaper out
side Of large city. Persons who suppose i
newspaper can be published in any town Or
city in Wisconsin, and devote its columns
wholly, or mostly so, to general reading mat
ter, are entirely mistaken. 1t is true, i'll a
city where there is sufficient patronage to
sustain daily paper, a weekly may be made
up from the daily, so as to give large amount
of general reading. But in all cases where the
newspaper is only weekly, this cannot be-
done without weekly sinking capital. +.
To illustrate 1t costs over forty dollars
per meek, to issue the Kenosha Telegraph. in
eludjng the pay Of compositors, printing pa
per, rent, fuel aud other Indispensable expen-
ses. This is for the newspaper alone. and
does not include the pay of job printers. nor
does it make any allowance for editorial ser
vices, and attending to the'fnancial and other
affairs of the Office. The Subscription list of
the telegraph, is much above the ayerageof,
the weekly newspapers in this State; but
even with itsehoW Of subscribers, any man
with very limited khowledgeof figures, can
calculate how many weeks the Te7egga1,hl
could live on its subscription list al6heg q
What is true of this paper, is true of other
weekly papers in Wisconsin With the most
economical management, capital of ten
thousand dollars (f printers ever have that
much,) would be sunk in less time than many
persons ever dreamed of, if publisher in this
State should persist in the attempt to issue
weekly paper, without reliance upon adyer
tis1ng patronage. Our experience here prob
ably does not differ from the one hundred and
fifty or more weekly newspapers in Wisconsin.
1t is true there should be a proper limit to
the space occupied in advertising paper
may so encroach upon itsreading columns, as
to render it Justly liable to complaint from
its subscribers. But he who believes a paper
OF the class here spoken of, can dispense most
ly with advertising, and not fall into debt,
has only to try the experiment to satisfy him
self OF his mistake

IT'S TRUE that Dr. V. Clarence Price is a
physician thoroughly educated, candid and
reliable. Only one Of his class that has con-
tinued his appointments for years. If aflict-
ed in any manner, you lose nothing in consult

We learn that some Of the farmers in this
county are turning their attention to the
raising of hops This branch Of industry has
proved highly successful in the northern
counties of the State, and probably may be
made equally so in this section. Sixteen,
acres were planted to hops in the town Of
Salem last year. Mr.. Cass, Of Salem, informs
us he planted three acres to hops last season,
and intends to plant four acres more the com
