THIS ITEM Is CORRECT.-~No paper
can be published without home patron
age, and every man is interested in keep
Ing up a home paper. If a railroad or
factory is wanted the newspapers a-e
expect d to work for i. If public
meeting is wanted for any purpose. the
newspaper is called upon for free no
ticc. if any Of the societies have a sup
per or a reception Of any kind, the news
paper Is expected to give the necessary
notice. The newspaper must puff the
schools and every thing else to advance
the interests of the business Of the place,
and then give them a handsome notice
when they pass away. And yet some oil
them do nothing to keep up home pa

part of the brick put en- the yard. We
! are glad to announce that arrangements
have been made to break ground to day

diligence, and the people ofthe town may
congratulate themselves on this needed
