We commend the following from the
Bozeman Courier to the consideration of the
business men Of Benton:
1t is admitted that q local paper is neces-
sary to a town. Were the town without one,
even those who do not advertise would sub
scribe to q fund to supply the want. But,
bear in mind that q paper is a peculiar thing
it lives not so much from Its subscription zhs5
as from Its advertising patronage; and it be-
ing self-evident that it must mainly depend
upon local notices, the duty Of all who have
aught to sell must be plain. They should re-
gard the paper as requisite to themselves
should open their eyes to the fact that it
