WORDS FITLY SroKEN.-An exchange has the
following truthful and appropriate remarks on
the subject of newspaper patronage:
Publishers of newspapers, and more partic-
ularly local newspapers, have to depend mainly
upon their advertising columns for their sup
port. Yet how many there who seem not TO
realize this fact. Instead of giving their paper
a liberal advertising patronage, they perhaps
give it none; and if levee or entertainment
is got up in the place, the paper is expected to
notice it for nothing.
Now if all the patroage that a paper can ex-
pect is that of the locality for whose interest 1t
works. it would seem that every one should give it
the advertising that legitimatcy belongs to it,
and not try to get it without paying for it
There is q class of people that seem to bcgrudgc
every dollar that goes to their local papers and
still borrow it and read it, and are the sererest
critics of its shortcomings.
The publisher has TO pay for labor and paper,
and every notice Of any kind, in the nature Of
an advertisement he ought TO have his pay for
He has got to get his living out of his advcrtis-
ing columns and any society or individual can
with just rs much propriety beg five dollars of
any other individual, as to expect it gratuitous-
ly Of o newspaper
Any man who does not think enough Of his
county paper, and every trader who does not be-
leve in advertising, should move into some town
where they have no paper

in the utterances from Washington any
apparent disposition among congress
men to hurry the work of the special

no interruption Of business until the

largely devoted to preparatory work
