Established in 1872 and for twenty-four
years has stood at the head of all Week

this county who have read 1t from its
first issue and are readers today. Why
doy they read it? Simply because they
are after the reliable and latest news
and can only get il through this medium
1t has more columns of live reading
than all the Weeklies in the county.
Business men are approached daily by
representatives and even proprietors OF
these local papers with the stereotyped
expression that they have the largest
circulation in the county. Well, we pay
the postage. They do not. II they
are the local papers they claim they are
hard TO locate. There have been hun
