RAILROAD SCHEDULE.
County VS.. City Weeklier.


Il can get the Nashville weekl
American or Courier-Journal 70
one dollar, and why is the CITIzEl
two dollars?" said a friend from tn
country.
A city paper pays its printers Il
set the type for the daily and
pays for its dispatches and othe
matter for the daily. 1t prints siI
DAYS Il week and gets about si1
times as much for it as a country
weekly. Then it takes all this mat
ter that is already paid for and
which it has made a profit on and
prints a weekly w.Ch it, and it costs
it only the paper and the press
work. A country paper has to pay
all these expenses for its issue that
a city weekly avoids. A city pa
per has nothing about Giles county
affairs in it and does not advocate
any Giles county enterprises, but
what does the country paper do?
1t furnishes home news.
1t reports home doings.
1t reports what is done in court
1t reports marriages, deaths,
sickness, incidents and accidents
at home.
1t announces home meetings.
1t fosters and pushes your pixies,
railroads, looks to your needs and
advocates home enterprises.
1t holds up your county and men
abroad look into it as in a mirror
and see what we are and what we
have to sell and how rich our lands
are and whether we are law abid-
ing, etc, and they are induced to
come and buy our horses, cattle,
lands, etc, and live with us.
1t shows our own people what
che world is doing outside.
1t gives prices and shows what
the supply is and what the demand
is aud thus gives its readers "point-
ers" when to sell what they have or
buy what they need.
1t gives home people opportunity
to know each other better and to
communicate with each other.
1t is a channel through which
one man can talk to all his people.
1t is a record of home doingsI
that men may refer to and is often
used by the courts.
1t shows when lands or houses
are to be sold or rented, where bar
gains may be had, where and when
to buy cheapest, and when and
where to sell produce best.
1t gives its columns free to all
home enterprises.
1t labOrs to build up its town and
county and champions their in
terests.
To get all these facts and watch
all these matters and arrange them
and set them in type and print and
mail them, it has to hire men. Does
the city weekly help the county
and home people thus? - 49,.
The CITIZEN makes less money on |
a subscription at So than city !
weekly does at 81, because it has to |
pay for getting up matter that the
city paper does not.
Because one horse is worth $50 |
is no reason why another may not
be worth 800. You pay according |
to the service you expect of horse.
Why not pay a paper according to
the service it is to you and your
cOunty2
A business man ought to sustain
home paper because it Is helping
his town and his people and keep
ing up public spirit and home en-
terprise-and from these he gets
his profit.
A professional man is indebted
to it in like manner, and a laboring
man the same, and all classes of
men alike
Every business enterprise and
professional man in Pulaski ought |
to be represented in the CITIzEN,
not alone to sustain it, but that all
our advantages may appear to out
siders and the town may be seen to
advantage by outsiders. 1t would
build up our trade, induce others
to move here when they see evil
dences of such a live town and
people, new industries would spring
up, and each mans individual trade
would be increased.
Every reading man in the coun
ty should take it that he may keep |
up with all these matters and take
advantage Of the things he learns in
ITS columns; and to sustain and
make it still more useful, he should |
anduce his neighbors to take it.
In view ofthese facts, is not |
your home paper worth ttOice as
much to you as a foreign paper?
We spend all we make at home. |
A foreign paper spends not a red |
cent here. We pay taxes and live
and labor here and love this people |
and are trying to help them to
prosper. A foreign paper gets
your dollar and it is gone forever. |
We hope we have answered our
friend. Now come, let's all help |
once, and run the CITIZENS list up |
10 5000 names by January LIST. Ev-
cry man be an agent and persuade |
your neighbor to take it. .'''
Finally, we would like for our
friends In the country to write us
ana tell us whether or not they |
thlnk sll the business men in Pulas-
al and evsTy professional man should |
advertise IN and sustain the CITI
ZEN We would like to have a pos
'ai from each subscriber on this
SUBJECT and a postal from each |
member of the family. Let each
one write his or her opinion in a
ie" words, and then say down at
the bottom of the postal card:
a" going to get the CITIZEN a
HsU subscriber.
