No paper can be pubIished without

No paper can be published without
 our home patronage, and every man is
 interested in keeping up a home paper.
 Ii a railroad or factory is wanted the
 newspapers are expected to work for
 it. If . public meeting is wanted for
 any purpose, the newspaper is called
 upon for free notice. If any of the
 societies have a supper or reception of
 any kind, the newspaper is expected to
 give the necessary notice. The news
 papers must puff the schools and every
 thing else to advance the interests of
 the business of the place. and then
 give them d handsome notice when
 they pass away. And yet some of
 them do nothing to keep up a home pa

 rejoices with you in your prosperity and sympathiges with you in ativersity and
 distress. It records the marriage of
 your son or daughter the death of any
 member of your family, the illness of
 yourself or wife. aud tho visits of your

 complimentary terms. It booms your
 town, and builds up your business
 whether you patronize H. or nat. II

 TIE TINEs Is sorry, not only from d selfish ilmlrcial standpoint. but he eause CT the appearance of the paper without their cards that ono CT two of our merchants hare withdrawn or de- creased their patronage this year, and ] that there are several who do not now, ani haVe never had n constant adver-
 tisencut in the paper. We have very good reason to know that times are hard. and we are ourselves tryiug to eut down expenses. bat if you will stop moment to think the matter over. ! you will no dauLt see that you are mak- i iug mistake withholding liberal support From yoar county paper. which k constantly working tur yuur inter
 rsts. Ite paper is now ranked among the best county papers in the state. We very much desire to improve it. but, instead of falling off. the patron age must increase. in order that it's present high standard may te sustain ed Ne spend all we make out of TuE i ftAEs right here in Forrest City, and VT nearly always spend more money with the merchant than he does with
 us Ii is folly to think advertising will not pay you The most successful
 business men everywhere on earth are those who do the largest advertising We hope there will he no further dis con'ilasnces and that there will be an inergIsed demand t,r space.
