WE DENY IT-Thc assumption on the
part of many persons in community that
the support given a local newspaper is one
sided favor; that like the handle Of jug, it
is all on one side.
1t is saying the most that can be said to
agree that the favor is mutual, for we are in
little doubt as to whether properly con-
Quoted local newspaper does not contribute,
directly, more to the business interests and
general welfare of a community, that it is
possible for the community to return to it.
When therefore we allow it to be a condition
of mutual favor, we are satisfied that no in
justice is being done the community. Those
who are in the habit of considering the re-
verse of this to be true, would do well to al
low themselves few moments in which to
analyze the matter and not rely too implicit
ly upon the doctrine that local newspapers
is but needless luxury, at most conven-
fence, but in no sense an unquestioned ben
eft or a real necessity.

By No MEANs-Thc Banner says in its
last issue that the CLARION has lately advo
Gated the New County movement, tavoring
this point for the location of the new county
seat 1t has gone far vide of the mark; we
simply published letter on the subject and
in our comments did not refer at all to the
matter of the new county seat and treated
the entire question rather tlppantly. We
have given the subject so little considcra-
ton, that an opinion expressed would neces-
sarily be very crude, but in reference to that
part of it touched by the Banner whein the
claim is made that the taxes would be high
er, in case of separation, we will not at
tempt to dispute it, but will assert our belief
that if in order that they should be higher it
would be necessary that as much be spent
unwarrantaby as is spent yearly in this
county, we are not quite ready to believe
that they would be higher, for we do not be-
licve that, in the face of experience, decided
ly vicious abuses would be permitted to
creep in and exist
Work given out. On receipt of your ad-
dress we will make an offer by which you
