DO you need an abstract OF your
city, ranch or mining property? Place
the order with us. c. NJ. Kelly.
In an address before q farmers
meeting in an Illinois county one of
the speakers said: AS a rule the
farmer has no firmer friends than the
country press. The home paper is dis
tinctly the farmers own paper, sup
ported directly and indirectly by farm
crs who compose the backbone of the
subscription list, and largely for what
the enterprising merchants advertise.
Now. brothers. let us not forget u
friends. Let us see that our sub
scription Is paid up the first of Janu-
airy each year In advance If We can
afford to do IL. The man or paper
that fights my battles shall have my
support. Another thing, the mer-
chants who advertise are the ones
who make IL possible for them TO get
a good local paper. and men or firms
that are too %penurious to advertise
and help the local press. have no right
to the farmers patronage. | propose
to go TO a live advertiser and a man
who will do his share in supporting
a local press. rather than buy of a
man who proposes to take all and
give nothing in return. II farmers,
as a class. would support their friends
the others would soon get out of bus
mess"
