railroads and farms. At Omaha and

THE LOCAL PAPER

The columns of a paper are the
publishers stock in trade, and the
parties who ask us to use them for
their special benefit must expect to
pay for the same, and we hope that
all parties will, after due consider
alton, view the matter in the proper
light. Every public-spirited citi-
zen Of a place should have pride in
seeing his own town and the sur
rounding country improve. Every
new house or barn in the surround
ing country; every new fence,
road, or shade tree j; every new
manufacturing establishment erect
ed; every new business opened,
enhances the value Of property in
our midst. Every honest, reflect
ing mind knows this to be true,
and you shoul'l not forget that the
local newspaper adds much to the
general wealth and prosperity Of
the place, as we'll as increases the
reputation of the town abroad. 1t
benefits all who have business in
the place, enhances the value OF
property, besides being a public
convenience, even if not conducted
in the interest of the ruling politi-
cal power. If its columns are not
filled will. brilliant editorials, still
it benefits you in many ways. 1t
increases trade, it cautions against
imposition, it saves you from loss,
it warns you of danger, it points
out different advantages and in
creases your profits. Now, il you
want such paper you must sup
port it by advertising your business
in it; assist in increasing its circu-
lation by getting your neighbors to
subscribe with you for it. If you
want such a paper yon must moi
consider it an act of charity to
support it, but as means to in
crease your own wealth as well as
that of the.place in which yon live.
The local press is the power that
moves the people therefore, sup
