TAKE Your HoAE PAPER. There are
many persons who take no paper at all or
else send to distant city for q STORY pa
per- and when they wish to know what is
going on in their own neighborhood borrow
the local papers from some citizen more
liberal than themselves. These are the
men who are generally taken in by Eastern
sharpers and by men who play the patent
rightgame Many Of them arc men Of
business who grunblc because people do
not buy at their stores, do not "patronize
home industry" when they themselves
never advertise dollars worth iu their
county paper; do not rs we say above,
even subscribe for it. Ssuch mon are a
positive injury to any cohauuity and tue
only benefit they could possibly be to a
county paper is TO have their obituary. no.
ticcs published in itas soon as possible.
