NEWSPAPERS.
Metropolitan VS.. Rural.

Every now and then there springs
up quite an enthusiasm in behalf of
Metropolitan Newspapers, and parties
that never manifest zeal for success
of their local press, may be seen run
ming round and soliciting subscrip-
tons for them. Why this should be
so is past comprehension. 1t is
easy to understand why merchants
and spectators and even politicians
should take a reliable daily, so situat-
ed, and so connected with telegraphs
and reporters at home and abroad,
as to enable it to secure the latest
and freshest information-this is not
what is complained of The enthu-
siasm which is denounced is expend-
ed On weeklies too distantly issued
and too tardily received, to admit of
their commercial or financial quota
tons being of practical benefit eve
when correct-and either rendering
no fealty to party or presenting a
phase of policy differing from pre-

Mr.. EDIToR: 1t is conceded, on
all hands, that we are blessed with a
prospect for the biggest corn crop
that was ever raised in Audrain coun-
ty. This immense crop will have to
be hauled next fall and winter over
our dirt roads, either to this market
or some other shipping point. Right
now, therefore, should be a very OPP
perfume time to reopen and agitate
the question of rock-roads.
