terest of Its reading matter in every
possible way consistent with the sup

interests are Unidentified with yours; Its
prosperity or depression In measure
affects you all. Do net for moment
suppose that by sending patronage to
papers outside the county you draw In

show you that the interests of rivals
always clash. You cannot expect that
newspaper located In and depending
upon an adjoining county for support
will labor to advance your business
prosperity. That paper cannot do 1t
with safety to its financial well-being.
II a paper does not consider the inter-
ests Of your county Of sufficient account
to warrant Its locating In your midst,
depend upon IL, that sheet favors your
local interests just 40 fur as will serve
