"We want it distinctly understood
that those who get their printing
done outside of the newspapers, re-
ceive no free notices in the Indepen-
dent MdTtihS6urg Independent.
You are right. That is the plat
form upon which the REGISTER
stands. People, who get up enter
tainments, exhibitions, &c, and get
their printing done outside the
newspaper offices, or at some other
town or city, should go there for
their free puffs and reports. The
newspapers are expected to devote
its energies in season and out of sea-
son to advancing the business of the
community, yet the business men of
the community are extremely negli-
gent in their support of the papers.
