The Bellaire Democrat has run its course
and taken in its sign much to the sprprise
OF the Democracy of Bellaire. Will b.
Buchannon, the present editor and proprie-
tor, wrote the obituary of the paper yesterday

is a shame and disgrace that the Demo
crat should have been allowed to go under
Belmont county supports at present SIX he
publican papers and one Democratic one,
the ST. Clairsville Gazette. The detunct
sheet had a large circulation, something
like twelve hundred, but the subscribers
failed to come to time, and the proprietor
at each publication found himself deeper
and deeper, as regarded his pecuniary dilii-
culties Some people when they subscribe
for paper imagine they are supporting 1t,
even II they fail TO pay the small amount
asked per wear They do not think that
the pape las TO pay for all necessities, and
| if it does not get what is due it by patrons
the manager is compelled to do just what
our friend Billy did-write up an obituary.
S!owness ana unwilingness or the part OF
the subscribers has caused the death OF the
Bellairc Democrat and nothing else. 1t is
a well known fact that that paper had TO
| live from advertising and subscription alone
as it had no job department. Besides legal
| advertising was wanting, rs il goes great
| distance toward the support OF the weekly
| paper, and is what he's made the papers ol
| ST. Clairsville payi.g ones. Now that the
| Democrat is gone it should be left alone
until the Democracy gets a good ready for
another and a good one, which they can
support with some vigor. We hope Will
will succeed in any new avoeation he at
tempts.
