Worthington Adyance:-TEe Wor-

summer of 1872 by Miller, Uumiston &

country editor. Nevertheless the Ad.
vance has been \ journalistic and a
financial success, far beyond most coun.

We would infer by the close perusal of
the ADVANCE for year past, that the
reason it is q " journalistic and u fin
ancial success is, that Bro. Miller puts
brains into it.-Beaver Greek Graphic
The Heron Lake News answers the
question "Why is it?" as follows:

single line. In most towns there are Il
class who think they know more about
how newspaper should be conducted
than the Almighty does of running the
Universe. Such fellows get rather COO
! comfort around the Advance office. A
newspaper that pursues an independ
ent. honorable course is sure to sue
ceed. The Advance is a success.
The Luverne Herald answers it by
saying I'VE give it up?" Why, DOM
