A GOOD WORD FOR THE NEWS

EDITOR NEws:--Having recently come
across a copy of the dear old News and
seeing letters from so many places and
none from here, thought l would contri-
butte few lines either FOR its columns or
the waste basket.
Having been raised in Breckenridge
county, read the News every week for
many years, and thought it the best
county paper ever saw, but had not the
slightest idea of the possibility of it inn
proving so as to become the great
weekly, known and read so extensively
as it is and to occupy the position that it
does among the great journals of this
fast age. But dear old Breckenridge
county is just capable of making a sue
cess of anything and she is proud OF her
papnr and has stood by the editor and
held up his hands, while he pushed his
PAPER to the front Please tell the good
people of Breckenridge an one Of them
and the twelve years of my absence
don't change me. (But about our town }

perhaps 300 inhabitants, situated on the
main line of the L. & n. Il. II. iiity-nine

try on the north, east and west.
