Of which was to be set aside for the pur-

them he requested his trustees to "pre-
pare a saucer with three dice upon the

Hancock county is one Of no ordi-
nary pretension, 1t possesses range
for the exercise Of much cool judg.

help your fellow man and the county

Legislature, yet there are some laws
in existence which conflict with our
freedom and which are detrimental
10 the interest ci those who necessity
many compel to violate-such laws
should be repealed.

Rea dY Prints,

A New York paper, the Fourth Es-
tate, gives the following interesting
history of the company that furnish
es the "patent" sides to newspapers:
The use Of ready prints among
country newspapers has become so
general at the present time that much
interest must attach TO the story Of
their rapid growth since auxialiary
printing was introduced here by A.
N. Kellogg thirty years ago.
AT tie beginning Of the war Mr..
Kellogg was printing weekly paper
at Baraboo, Wis. His printers en-
listed in the army, and he found
himself unable to get his paper out,
because OF lack OF help; thefefore he
ordered Of the Madison Daily Jour
nal half sheet sup. dement's contain
ing war news, to fold with his half
sheets, which had been printed be-
fore the printers left.
1t occurred to Mr.. Kellogg that the
two papers coming from Madison
would look better il printed on one
side Of his own full sheet, and thus
the idea OF reody prints was utilized.
The plan was put into operation,
and within short time large num-
ber of newspapers in that vicinity
bought their sheets already printed
on one side. The business grew ra-
pidly, MFR. Kellogg removed to Chi
cago, and within a few years over
500 papers were served regularly.
From the small start in 1861 has
grown the large business Of A. N.
Kellogg Newspaper Co., which now
supplies over 1000 newspapers re-
gularly with ready prints,
The offices of the company. to-
gether with the number of papers
supplied by each, are as follows:
Chicago, $50; st. Louis, 1868;
Cleveland, 1877; Kansas City, 223;
Cincinnati, 208; Memphis, 24O;
Minneapolis, 1856; Wichita, 81; and
Little Rock, 1875.

The projecting lines, from the
Memphis Commercial, are reproduced
here for the benefit and instruction
of our Bay st. LOUIS public: "a
community is known by its news
papers. The character of the town
or city IS reflected in its pages. In
no way can city make an impress
sion Of local energy AID ambition so
strikingly as by cordially and gener-
ously upholding an enterprising
newspaper management. The stran-
ger will detect instantly the real
spirit Of community in the columns
of the hcme paper. Ifthe advertise
ments be few, there is sure indica-
ton OF lethargy and indifference
among the business men. But il
they be many, and rival firms are u.s.
ing plenty of printers ink, each try
ing TO outdo the other, the reader at
once knows there is life and busi-
ness in The place and that It is worth
while TO live among such people,"

plenty of people who think that the
