Mr.. J. w. Crary, of Florida. presen,s
some of the advantages in communi.
cation to the Pensacola .4drn,,r.. Go,cJ,.
Us follows:
How a newspaper pays can be at once
seen, if you will give The matter n liz. :,
thought. Suppose you take O. paper n I
is only Issued once week you get fifty
Two year, each containing the gen.
eral current news of the times.
The educational advantages To tbo
family, derived from only a weekly na.
per, are cheaper and more impressive
useful and thorough, after the children
have learned to read. than the teach;na
in the ordinary schools. 1t il a notabis
iact, and many eminent examples might
be referred to, that families who are ney.
er without newspapers become more in.
telligent and more influential than tbosa
who go through the ordinary schojastic
studies without the habit of readinn
newspapers. After reading writing and
arithmetic are taught to child If a
choice ID to be made between school
hooks and newspapers. il would be mnch
more beneficial to the child to piye Il
two or three well selected newspa6prs to
read than to confine it to the text.books
of the school. Newspapey education i.
polytechnlc and universal, and is indis.
pensable to proper qualification for
true American citizenship.
A good newspaper saves money in all
business matters. IF you want to sell or
buy anything you Will likely see the cur.
rent price In newspaper, and YOU will
also see what you Nigh. want advertised: !:
you don't have to take hearsay, and thus
eutfer from mistakes and DELAYS: Won
jass :::: &c jour paper. and know ali
you wish to find out. You will often
save the subscription cost of YOUR paper
by one single order for ten or twenty
dollars worth of goods. You will often
find chances for good bargains adyertised
that cannot be found in any other way.
A few months since, a merchant In Pen.
aacola advertised to sell certain staple
article of provisions very cheap; there
was quite large lot of 1t, and the con.
signor ordered it sold at once. I sent 40
order, and when several of nv neighbors
In the country saw what had gotten.
and l told them the price, they said !:
IF you had told US, we would also have
sent orders I said: If you will take
the papers you will always know in time.
without waiting for second. hand talk
saved the price Of my newspaper sub.
scription in Pensacoia for one wear by
that single transaction. Indeed, It
would be impossible to enumerate the
amount of pecuniary benefits received
from newspaper advertisements alone, to
say nothing of the general Information
OF vital Importance contained in them.
Journalism in all its departments is a
business that requires more self.sacrifice.
more indefatigable labor, more patience,
endurance 6nd nice discrimination than
any other profession. There is no class
of men that furnish 30 cheaply the indis.
pensable intelligence, wisdom and virtue,
for the support Of the government aud
welfare of the people, as the well.trained
and efficient journalist. Every good citi.
zen should take and pay for q good pa.
per; he owes it to his country, bis fami.
ly and his own self.respect and interest.
