Mr.. j. W. Crazy, Of Florida, pre-
sents some advantages in a communi

How newspaper pays can at onc'
be seen, il you will give the matter a
little thought. Suppose you take a
paper that is only issued once n week
you get iifiy.two copies a year, each
containing the general current news
Of the times.
The educational advantages 10 Thu
family, derived from only a weekly
paper, are cheaper aud more impress
sive, useful and thorough, after the
children have learned TO read, than
the teaching in the ordinary schools.
IL is a notable fact, and many emf
nent examples might be referred to /,
that families who are never without
newspapers become more intelligent
and more influential than those who
go through the ordinary scholastic
studies without the habit Of reading
newspapers. After reading, writing
and arithmetic are taught to child,
il choice is to be made between
school books aud newspapers, il would
be much more beneficial TO the child
10 give il two or three well selected
newspapers 10 read than TO confine il
10 the textbooks Of the school. News
paper education is polytechnic and
universal, and is indispensable 10 a
proper qualification for true American
citizenship.
A good newspaper saves money IN
all business matters. IL you want TO
sell or buy any thing you will likely
see the current price in a newspaper,
and you will also see what you might
want advertised; you don't have to
take hearsay, aud thus suffer from
mistakes aud delays; YOU ust turn to
your paper, and know all you wish to
find out. You will often save the
subscription cost of your paper by
one single order for ten or twenty dol
lars worth Of goods. You will often
find chances for good bargains adver.

Journalism in all its departments is

There is no class of men that furnish

support of the government and wei
fare of the people as the well-trained
and efficient journalist. Every good
citizen should take aud pay for a good
paper; he owes it 20 his country, his
family and his own selfrespect and
interest.
