we're remarks addressed to several per-

by Rev. Jno S. C. Abbott, kept con-

LEwIsrowN would like to argue itself
into the belief that it will soon be a CITY.
Such an inference at least may be re

The status of the county paper is
truthfully set forth in the following. by
an observing country editor: t.-3
ave sometimes meet individuals who
complain about their county paper and
cease to take it, preferring 70 subscribe
FOR city paper They do not seem to
comprehend the facts in the relation to
publications and support of papers. In
the first place. the terms Of nearly all
city papers are the same as the county.
So for single copy, and the only way
they get them for less than that price is
by clubbing; and sending for number
of copies at a time. Then again they
must invariable send the money in ad-
vance. which they seldom do for their
county paper. But the principal differ
ence consists in the fact that it costs the
publisher of the county paper the same
to set lis types that it does the city pub
Usher, and setting the type is the princi-
pal expense il publishing a newspaper
of small circulation. After the type is
once set the expense is then merely for
blank paper and press work, and the pa
per with hundred thousand subscribers
has the advantage at two dollars. Of
course the large city papers contain a
greater amount of reading matter than
the county papers, but which is the most
useful aud interesting! Do they contain
notices of our schools. churches, meetings
marriages, and hundreds of other local
matters of interest which the county pa
pers publish without payl Not an item.
DO they ever say a word calculated to
draw attention to our county and to its
numerous thriving towns, and aid in our
progress aud enterprise! Not line
And yet there are men who take the
contracted view of this matter that unless
they are getting as many square inches
Of reading matter in their county papers
as they do in a city paper, they are mt
getting the worth of their money 1t re
minds us of the person who takes the
