How TO KILL YOUR LOCAL PAPER
The Muscatine Journal gives the following
rules for the accomplishment of the above
object, which iflived up to, will most eff
fectually accomplish the end:
81. Be always making disparag!ng remarks
about it. Speak of its diminutive size as com
pared with the large city dailies: contrast unfaY-
orably the character and ability of the editor
with some editor with whom you are slightly ac-
quainted in a neighboring town, although at the
very moment, perhaps, some carping critic in his
town is exactly reversing the criticism.
2. Be obiyious of the fact that your local pa
per must have advertising and job work TO live
Don't advertise your business at all, and if any
advertising of a legal or other character which
you are required to have done comes under your
control don't give it to the paper whose conduct
ors are making sacrifices to keep up q pa
per for the credit of your city, with the latest
news but go around to all the other papers
where you can get it done the cheapest
If you have any cards, bill heads, sale bills, or
any thing else to print, don't give it to the news
paper ofice-it might assist ana encourage the
proprietors TO make their paper more respectable
to the town and valuable To its patrons-but take
it to an Independent job office, II there is such
in your place, or send it 10 Chicago or some
other large city. This will show that you are in
telligent and discriminating.
3. If you happen to have charge of any char
liable or benevolent enterprise, of course the
printing of bills and tick cts must be paid for out
of the funds of the Society but be careful not to
give the work to the newspaper office; you can
sponge your local notices through the charity OF
the accommodating editor, while you can get all
your PAY work done at another office. This is
quite respectable way OF doing business, as
some respectable men invariably make prac-
tice of it.
4. If you need blank deed or bill of Iading
don't go to the newspaper office to get it; it
might make the proprietors rich and Consequent
ly proud, il you should patronize them in that
way.
s. In short, it is the duty of the publishers OF
your local paper to furnish you the news,
and they must pay for their dispatches and the
printing oftheir paper with the money they get
on subscriptions alone. If they can't do it with
such patronage, let them sell out to somebody
who can.
Bear these hints in mind, act on them constant
ly and consistently, and if you do not starve out
your local paper it will be a wonder indeed. ~
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1871-06-22

to even it's old standard. A spirit of
improvement and progression, however,
prevails among the people, and we may
expect to see very great improvements in
all parts of the country. This spirit
prompted. the Krksvillians and their neigh
bors of the county to vote bonus of
100000 for the location in their town of
the proposed State Normal School Build
ing. This is to be splendid edifice, and
had l space l would briefly describe it. l
will simply give the dimensions Length
176 feet, width 80 feet, heighth 81 feet to
bottom of mansard roof which is 20 feet
high. This does not include the wings.
Much zeal was manifested and considera-
BILE competition entered into by sever
al counties, to secure its location. Kinks
vile had the most back bone, favorable
location, &c, and secured it, and now they
foDdly hope that in the way of furnishing
employment, money brought in by stu
dents, etc, etc." it will ret urn to them
again what they have bound themselves to
pay. May be it will. In this elegant
structure the State of Missouri proposes to
educate educators for her future genera
lions, or rather, as we think, prepare
young ladies for that great destderatum,-
matrimony, and the young gentlemen to
shine as bright stars in armament of
their own choosing. There seems to be an
intense desire to advance the cause of edu-
cation but we ask is not the expenditure
of so much m )ney as must be necessary to
carry on such an establishment mistaken
way of doing it?
This county has also voted its bonds to
the tune of 100000 at seven per cent
interest, payable when the road has ar
rived at a certain stage of completion, in
aid of the Quincy & Pacific R. r. Their
method of giving aid to railroads is some
what different from ours. Instead of
voting tax to be gioen to road, they is
sue bonds, then when the road is built, and
in running order, the money it pays as
taxpayer goes directly to the county or
town giving aid, and it is asserted that by
this means interest is kept down, and the
principal materially, If not wholly reduc-
