Adams County news. [volume] (Ritzville, Wash.) 1898-1906, 1901-08-07

re ueSlre TO call Cne ATTENTION OF
our many readers to the first and
fourth pages OF our PAPER OF today
which contains several columns more
reading matter than heretofore. The
change in dropping foreign Ads. costs
US something, but, with pardonable
pride, we feel that there is nothing too
good for our liberal patrons and those
who are adding their names to our list
every day. We propose to keep on in
the work until the ADAMS COUNTY
News will have and maintain the repu-
tation OF being one OF the best up-to-
date country papers in the state. Let
every man assist his neighbor in all
reasonable ways to become prosperous,
and then, our town and county will be
an ideal one.
