Mrs. Marie Louise Myrick very scn-
sibly says: THE newspapers OF "a town
are its looking glasses. 1t is here you
see yourselves as others see you. You
smile on them and they smile back at
you, You frown on them and you are
repaid in kindness. They are the re-
tleX of the town. If the town is doing
business, the newspaper will show it
in the advertising columns. If the
merchants are spiritless fellows,
whose stores are jumbles OF junk and
jam, the newspapers will show it by
the lack Of space they take. II You
want the world to know you have live
town, you can only let it be known
through It's newspapers" TO this Ed
itor Shaver of the Dalton Argus adds:
"That's 1t; take good adv. in your
home newspaper, pay promptly and
literally for it, and give the editor
several cash subscriptions for yourself
and your friends"
All of which is very true. And then
don't ask the editor to trade out in the
store at Glen" prices the price OF yonr
advertisement which In many cases
you are getting below cost. There is
no man in your town who does as much
hard and unselGsh work without pay
for your community as your country
editor.

thirty and forty lives have been sacrificed and
