THE TRIBuNE-eooD WORDS.

THE TRIBUNE-GOOD WORDS.
The appearance of the TRIBUNE for
the New Year, with its new dress,
gives great satisfaction to its readers
at this place; and is quite 4 contrast
with its issue of one year agO-it does
not appear like reading the same pa
per. Two enlargements and numer-
Gus typographical improvements in
one year, must be gratifying, both to
the readers and the proprietOrs, and
speak very favorably of the enter
prize and gO-aheadativeness of the
firm. But 1,5OO actual subscribers is
not enough for such paper. In such
a county as old Seneca, there should
he at least 5000 subscribers to the
TRIBUNE. Were the same exertiOns
made for home papers that there are
for foreign papers it would exceed that
number. At this Post Office we have
at least dozen canvassers for differ
ent papers, but not one of these agents
asks his patrons TO subscribe for his
county papers. This / attribute partly
TO the apathy of POstmasters, and to
the fact that they We're formerly Op-
posed to distributing free mail matter;
and partly because the county papers
are home papers, and it is thought
they can take care of themselves. The
BlOOmville office is but a small affair,
yet the Postmaster distributes five
Cincinnati papers to one of Seneca
county. By comparing the TRIBUNE
with the Cincinnati Gazette and Times
/ was surprised to find the TRIBUNE
the largest paper, it having forty col
umns, while the Gazette and Times
have but thirty-siX. / presume the
comparison holds good as to the other
papers. Let every newspaper reader
in Seneca county first take his home
paper, then as many more as he de-
sires; and especially let each reader of
the TRIBUNE constitute himself
committee of one, to get at least one
new subscriber for his county paper.
1t can be done, and when done the
great objection will be removed which
so many urge to home paper. Try
it.
SNOW.
The prayers of the saw-mill and saw
log men have been answered by the
fall of snow, which has so long been
desired, and in quantities to answer
all practical purposes.
ACCIDENTS.
A small lad, a son of L. A. Watson,
a few days ago met with a painful ac-
cident. He, in company with his
playmates, was turning the sweep of
cane crusher, when by some means
he got his hand in the cogs that pro-
pei the rollers. Three of his fingers
were literally ground up. Amputa-
ton was of course necessary, which
was performed under the skillful care
of Buckingham Brothers.
Also, Mrs. Leopold, an old lady,
broke an arm by slipping and falling
on the floor.
REJECTED BY THE PEOPLE.
Messrs. Wachet G. KOgy were sOlic-
iting the Board of Education to con-
tract with them for the purchase of a
globe for each School sub-District-
price $50. By the free use of a glib
tongue the members were induced to
sign such contract. Said contract be-
ing considered illegal by the outsiders,
a pressure to rescind the contract was
brought to bear upon the Board when
convened, but they refused to do any,
thing in the premises, leaving the
matter to the next Board. Let the
Boards of Education be on the look
out and not pay more for an article
than its worth, however nice and use
ful it may appear TO be.
OLD BLOOM.
