The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1877-04-27

No WHERE in the world are the papers
called upon to do as much gratuitous
work as in Texas. All the churches,
benevolent societies, balls, parties, ex-
cursions, picnics, sewing societies, church
festivals, and indeed everything which
interests the people or rebounds to the
advantage of an individual society,
claims at the hands of the paper an
amount of unrequited work which is q
serious burden to the publisher. Now,
il the papers in this state received the
support they do in other states, this
gratuitous work could be better borne,
but here no man takes single paper
more than he can get along with, adj
vertises just as little as possible and
secures the lowest possible rates at all
times, and yet demands for his pet So
cinl scheme, his lodge or his church as
much work for nothing as he has for
himself and for which he pays Just as
little as possible. Legal publication
