paper at all, or else take one from a distant
city, and when they wish to see what is trans
p:ring in their own aeighborhood, they borrow
the local paper from some citizen more liberal
than themselves. Many men of thus kind are
engaged in business. and frequently grumble
because people do not patronize "home IN

which they complain.
