The Only COUNTY Paper.

The record for January showed THE
AMERICAN far and away ahead of its con-
temporaries in the classes of news that
go to make up a county paper; they show
that our claim of being the only county
paper is well founded.
February starts out well. The blizzard
of last week interfered with the mails all
around; nevertheless THE AMERICAN
kept well ahead, as usual. Here is the
record for Feb ..
