FREE READING ROOMS.

The Sulligent Eagle Eye has adopted the Age-Heralds plan, and has opened reading room where all of it's exchanges will be kept on file The Mobile Register enters an objection saying that the daily papers will stop exchanging with the country press if this plan Is adopted, as it will cause the dailies to lose subscrib- CTS. This is not a broad or liberal view to take of the matter. The opening of reading rooms helps rather than hurts get accustomed to reading a paper in the reading room, and after while. if it is good paper. they find they can't do without it and send in their subscrip- ton.
