PRINTERS PARAGRAPh.-A Western OK
change tell its readers how "to mind their
P's' in the following paragraph:
"Pcrsons who patronize papers should
pay promptly, for the pecuniary prospects
of the press have peculiar power in push
ing forward public prosperity. lfthe prin-
ter is paid promptly, and his pocket
book kept plethoric by prompt-paying pa
irons, he puts his pen to his paper in peace,
his paragraphs are more pointed, he paints
his pictures of passing events in more pleas
ing colors, and the perusal of his paper is a
pleasure to the people. Paste this piece of
proverbial philosophy in some place where
all persons can perceive it"
NEW PREss-The JOURNAL office is now
supplied with Guernsey Power Press

large edition in much quicker time than for

addition is forced upon us both by the nee
essities of business and desire to at least
approximate the standards reared by the
spirit Of progress. And to this We design
making further additions as our abilities
permit. AS far as in us lies we are deter
mined to maintain the JOURNALS reputa-
ton as leading paper of the county.
