is what renders certain its ability to serve the
interests of the locality. Daily papers and
distant weekles give you the news, but not
one of them has the special and direct inter
est in your local affairs that pertains to your
home paper. Give us your support then;
we have labored in the interest of this section
now for twenty seven years and were our
people to come to our support, earnestly and
enthusiastically, We would have our youth
and vigor renewed to enter upon campaign
for the furtherance of every interest dear to
the people of this secti on of Frederick Co.
Give this view Of the mattera thought and
you will surely determine that such policy
will advance our mutual interests.
