Your LOCAL PAPER.-Ex-Sen
David Dayis recently made the follow
ing sound remarks ..about the home To-
cal paper, which we ask our readers to
peruse and then call the attention of
| non. subscribers to the article
Every year a local paper gives from
| 500 to $1,000 in free lines for the sole
benefit of the vicinity in which it is To-
Gated. No other agency can or will do
this. The editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his town than
any other ten men. and in all fairness,
man with man, he onght to be support
ed; not because you may happen to like
him or admire his writing, but because
local paper is the best investment
community can make. 1t may not be
brilliant or crowded with great
thoughts, but financially it is more of
IA benefit to community than the
preacher or teacher. Understand us
now we don't mean N orally or intel
| aans.-AA..L-S-.-..so -y-ond yet on
the moral question you will find the
local papers are on the right side of the
question. To-day the editors OF local
papers do the most work for the least
money of any men on earth.
