COUNTY NEwspApERs.-A gentle
man writes US that his county paper
is so poor that he has stopped it;
therefore he sends us three dollars
for the Trade List. We repeat that
we don't want subscribers on these
terms. Any mans county paper is
worth the world to him, or if it is
not it is his own fault. If the county
paper is properly encouraged, it may
be relied upon for information of
more value to the people in the in
terests of whom it is issued than
can be found in all the city papers
in the United States. No man can
afford to be without the paper which
publishes the official advertisements
of his county, the public sales, the
markets, court news, and other local
intelligence. If the paper is poor,
the people are more in fault than the
publisher, for not giving it more
liberal support. However poor the
paper may be, it is worth more than
it costs to those who are interested in
the county.-C Cincinnati Trade List.
