A local newspaper is what community
makes it, no more, no less. If those who
know any news are willing to give us the
benefit of their knowledge we can print a
newsy paper and if they determine to refrain
from SO doing we have to 60 without it.
We often have to hear that the paper says
nothing about this thing or that, when such
even is unknown to us. We are looked up.
on as all.seeing and all.knowing persons
while we do not claim and are not more
endowed with faculties of seeing and know.
ing more what happens in our community
than those round about u.s. Now don't be
unreasonable, if it is right to keep from rs
ought we be chided because we do not give
the people the benefit of what you knew:
| Make it habit to tell to lis everything that
you know that will interest the people, and
we will insure newsy paper.
