gus has had it's share of trials and
tribulations but from the present
outlook it need have no fear for the
future. 1t has built a home of it's own
and has everything arranged for con
venience and dispatch and with 4
strong face il successfully feeds the
people of Rock Island and adjacent
communities with the best intellect

an unusual amount of information
regarding our city, and reflects great
credit on The Argus.-Geneseo

day was composed of fifty-siX pages,
nearly the entire edition being de
voted to Il comprehensive write up

best and most enterprising business
centers in the state. The Argus de-
serves an armful of fragrant spring
fiowers.-M Review.

over one hundred engravings treating
of various subjects and over two hun

Twas a sort of souvenir, fiftieth
anniversary affair. There was
pretty colored cover inclosing page
after page of portraits. pictures and
writeups. All the newspapers in the
county were given proper mention in

der its present management The Ar
gus is splendid success. May it
ever prosper.-Reynolds Press.

to that of many larger cities and
shows a rare spirit of enterprise on
the part of the management of that
paper. 1t certainly merits the sue
cess which it is enjoying.-Savanna
