With each day that passes the newspaper
grows more and more an educator and the ex-
tent to which it has become can hardly be
realized. A few years ago it was considered
luxury but there are few homes now that are
SO poor as not to count a newspaper among Its
belongings. In fact, it is the principal reading.
A business man, weary with care, will hesitate
about beginning a book. 1t seems herculean
task to go through with all of those pages at
tractive though they may appear, but he WILL
take up his paper, and then lay 1T down at any
moment without hesitation. In the Intervals
of house keeping cares the wife catches 1T up
and reads an article here and there to learn
what is going on in the great outside world
The boy and girl want to see each days news
and SO the daily or weekly journal goes the
sounds ofthe family while the book rests secure
ly upon its shelf
The SPECTATOR. with its budget of interesting
news, is found in nearly every family in this
county, to many of which it has been wei
come weekly visitor for half century or more
the sons, like their their mobile sires," being its
regular readers and prompt-paying subscribers.
We are sure that no paper in the State has a
Letter or more substantial class of subscribers
than the SPECTATOR, and that is what makes it
such valuable medium for advertisers.
