THE Local NEwsPAPER.-Th
public have little appreciation of
the value of a we'll conducted local
newspaper Their offices of ben
eficence to the community are so
common that they are unnoted, but
none the less no town or city can adj
vance without its newspapers are
in the forefront of advancement.
! They are the life of the community.
They must lead in every effort to
invite capital, enlarge industries
and enthuse the people in the use
of their advantages.
The local newspaper is the one
newspaper that should command the
patronage of the community. II
only one journal can be taken in the
family it should be the one publish
ed at home. There is now little
excuse for any person of ordinary
intelligence not taking a city daily
with the local newspapers, since
the best can be had for nominal
cost; but there should ever be tho
heartiest accord and sympathy
between the local newspaper and
the community.----Phaadelphj
