There is not one valid reason why the public should expect . newspaper to publish free advertisement of church fairs, sociables or entertainments, or publish free advertisements of meet ings, lectures, concerts and 1000 other gatherings where money IS raised for religious or even secular purposes, and vet publishers are so often willing to contribute their legitimate advertising fees to such purposes, that the public seem to take it for granted that news papers banker after that class of adver- ments. Every publisher is willing to bear more than his proportion of the burdens of church, state, county, town, or village expenses, but the public should remember there is such thing as |" riding free horse to death"
 Please do not ask or expect newspa- per men to gratutiously publish any item which your own conscience tells you is a legitimate advertisement. If you think the item is worth publishing, then tender the printer his lawful fee, but at the same time you need not hesi- tate to enquire if he is willing to contri- bute any funds to the cause. Ninety nine times in 100 you will find the prin- ter disposed to aid the enterprise that your item IS advertising.
 In this connection we take occasion to notify our correspondents as we'll as the public, that in justice to the great majority of our regular sdver- tisers, as we'll as to ourselves, we must henceforth refuse to GRATu1roUsLY pub lish notices of excursions, for above all others that class of notices should be paid for.
