THE LOCAL PAPER.

Each year every local paper gives from $500 to $5O00 in free lines for the benefit of the community in which 1t is located, said Judge David Davis not long before he died. No other agency can or will do this. The editor in proportion 10 his means does more for his own town than any other ten men. and in all fairness, man with man, he ought to be supported, best investment community can make. II may not he brilliant or not because you may happen to like him but because < local paper is the crowded with more thoughts. but financially it is more of a benefit to community than preacher or teacher. Understand Us now, we do not mean morally orintellct- ually, but financially; and yet on the moral question you will find the majority of the local papers are on the right side of the quest ion. Today the editors of local pa pers do the most work for the least money of any men on earth. Subscribe for your local paper, not as a charity, but an investmen t. -Exchange.
 How true is the above! Yet how few peopls appreciate a good local newspaper. Most persons now-a- days in business patronize the local paper as little as posSi- ble. often sending off for job work that could as easily be done at home and stand in their own light by advertising but little. We trust our business men will take this matter home, aud ponder over It, and do beitet, iRrest more, with the home paper, since 1t will pay and its advertising columns index es the character of the town.
