The County Newspaper.

The County Newspaper
The following item is taken from
the New York Sun of recent date:
1T would do the hearts of country
editors good to ride up town on the
elevated cars in the afternoon on Fri
day and Saturday of any week in the
wear. On these two days a great
many business men give only hasty
glance at the evening papers and then
Immediately draw from pocket
copy of paper that is in marked con-
trast to the city paper, so far as type
and general appearance goes. The
type is invariably larger and the dis
PLAYS of advertisements and headings
to news articles commonly coarser.
The ink is not always spread evenly
over the page Nevertheless, the
business man opens the paper to the
page devoted to village news and
reads every line there. After that he
not infrequently reads the village
advertisements and gives brief look
at the editorials. The city man used
to live in the village where that pa
per was printed, and he recognizes
the names of people there as old ac-
quaintances, ana commonly ola
friends. The village paper comes like
a letter from home to the city man
who was once villager.
The above is literally true. Some
of the business men in New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington
and other cities read the REGISTER
as closely as do any of our country
subscribers. They keep posted on
the local happenings and not infre-
quently we receive letters from them
criticising editorials and other fea-
lures of the paper They enjoy the
country paper, and il they miss copy
we generally hear from them, ask
ing for the lost paper.
