| Home Paper.

The PICYAuNH now comes out as a home paper, that is ali of it is printed in Prescott Heretofore the outside has been pfiutel else where. In our judgement the mat ter gotten mp, by the patent out side publishers, is usually as good, and often better, than most country papers give, yet We prefer to print a home paper, if all things justify it. It costs nearly twice as much, however, to run a home print. We hope the business men of Prescott and Nevada county will sustain us, so we can keep running on the home plan.
 The change to home paper was not decided upon until Monday, yet we give our nine columns of ch oice reading matter on outside.
 The story on onr first page was written by Miss Emma Kirkland, of our little city. It was written for the Saaay South, in a contest for the best short story, and was awarded the prize over many oth- CTS, by authors of decided fame and ability. It is we'll writted and very interesting, Miss Kirkland also the a1thor of "Thc Strath- more Diamonds,n and other serial stories rrn in the Sunny South in the past few years.
 Although, but half the time usu- ally consumed in issueing a home paper, we give as much or more reading matter both on outside and inside than heretofore. If is not printed as wen as Ne woall like, hut we nope to have a good mixing roller hy our ae>t issue when He will remedy ttis defect
