We regret to notice the action of
our metropolitan confrere the THE
Times democrat i'll eliminating from
its exchange list, many of the country
weeklies. This is a course bordering
on niggardliness for the country press
are worthy all the favors they receive
from it. Were it not for the country
press much of the readableness of the
city papers would be missing as thew
clip copiously from them Many of
the country papers are the official
Journals of their parishes and entitled
to consideration at the hands of their
&opolits&Snretheren. The Times
Democrat commits an error in cutting
off the country paper and exhibits
narrow mindedness not in accord with
the character Of the paper. We trust
the country press will take note of
this slight and when the time comes,
as it surely will, repay in kind for
such illiberal, and contemplate treat
ment.
