fully when it says: When a death,
marriage or birth occurs in ones fam
lily, he always likes TO see it men
toned in his local pepper. When his
folks are visiting or visited he likes to
see it in print. But when by sending
to some large city he can get printing
done little cheaper he frequently
overlooks the fact. that his home
paper is employing hands and paying
money to trade at his store, paying
taxes to support his village, and keep

Doylestown Democrat

Doyestown Democrat
Senator voorhees, is in favor of free postage
for newspapers. Whether such act should be
adopted we are not just now prepared to say,
but publishers of newspapers should be relieved
from paying the postage. The law, whereby
the subscriber was made to pay the postage,
should be restored. 1t is now paid by the pub
Usher, and is tax on him. So far as We know,
this is all Congress has done for newspapers. In
all the schemes for protection" the newspaper
man is overlooked, or forgotten; at least he is
not "prntected." Congress should be the last
body 10 the world to tax newspapers Inasmuch
"a newspapers have made many Csngressmen,
and some of them out of very poor material, it is
about time they do something for their creators

Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy Skies
Beyond deaths solemn portal,
There is a land where beauty never dies
And love becomes immortal.
A land whore light is never dl;nmed by shade,
Whose fields vernat,
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But blooms Tor aye eternal.
We may not know how sweet the bamv air,
How bright and fair its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo there,
Through those enchanted bowers.
