LOCAL PAPERS. tells US so
readily the standard Of u town or city
as the appearance of its paper! And
its youth or age can as well be defined
by the observing az by personal no.
tice. The enterprise of its citizens is
depicted by its advertisements, their
i,berality by the looks OF the paper.
Some papers show a good, healthy
solid foundation, plethoric purses, aud
a well-to- do appearance generally;
the grasping thousands around them,
trying hard to wrench out an existence
from the cI1se-fisted community. An
occasional meteoric display in its coll
umhs of teiegraphic or local, or Of
editorials, shows what it can do il it
had the means. but 1t cannot continue
in the expensive work unless support
comes, which ought to be readily
granted. a newspaper IL like n church:
it wants fostering at the early COM
mencement. and for n few years; then,
as general thing. IL can walk alone,
and reflect credit upon its location.
Take your home paper; It gives you
more news OF immediate interest than
the New York or Otherpapers; IL talks
fur you when other localities belle
you; its'ands up for your rights; you
always have champion in your home
paper: and those who stand up for
YOU should certainly he well sustained.
Your interests are kindred and equal;
Won must stand or fall together.
Therefore it is your interest to support
your home paper, not grudgingly. hut

iture. -ChicugO Republican.

were elected on tn Board Of Directors

variety Of assorted fruit on show, num-
bcring eleven varieties Of grapes, seven
Of pears, two of plums, and some au-
tumn raspberries, and also exhibits
three TASKS of wine made OF grapes of
his own raising" Mr.. X. took the
premium on greatest variety of grapes.
Mrs. Kimball, one of the good house
wives OF Knoxville, was awarded
eighteen or twenty first and second
premiums on an assortment Of pantry
storcs-everything that liz nice being
included in this list" Among the
articles on which Mrs. X. obtained
we find mentioned spiced
pears. apples, peaches and plums; sp-
pie and plum jeliies; pound, fruitand
jelly cake; best collection Of plums,
grapes and pears: and Fall cooking
apples.
The Bulletin says that Mrs. r. Gam
bile, OF Knoxville, exhibited twenty
seven varieties iellies, preserves,
picked plums, butter and vinegar.
1t appears to US that Marion County
ought to have entitled itself to further
honorable mention at this Fair; but
we find no other than as above.
