and everywhere.
Those who subscribe for the Chronicle, al
WAYS ret their moneys worth, and more.
Those who read it become intelligent and ed

rent topics.
People who advertise in it, always make
money if they follow it's precepts. People
should buy of those who have spirit enough
to advertise their goods in the county paper.
City merchants who get country trade al
ways get rich.
It is false economy to dispense with the

and weeklies They have their mission, and
the county paper has it's field.
They are fields Of wheat as they are gath
