Interesting Reading Matter.

The most that concerns the average
country newspaper editor is al to
how he shall supply his readers with
u fair amount OF wholesome, interest
ing and instructive reading matter.
The bare recital of the local events
that happen In the town or parish
are frequently Of little interest as q
matter Of news, because nearly every
body knows about 1t before the paper
il issued. Thecomments Of the editor
are OF no Importance in the largest
number OF cases, and frequently quite
ridiculous because OF the evident ig-
norance and vapidity Of their utter
ance, and only serve as sort Of Idle
amusement to the well informed
reader.
The people who read and support
country papers have desire for
something more obstructive, elevating
and entertaining than ye average
country editor can possibly furnish,
IN the multiplicity OF his duties Of
saving wood and collecting dues.
To supply this want the system OF
ready prints" or patent insides"
for newspapers has been built up.
BY this system the county papers
are enabled to furnish their readers
each week with selections Of the best
thoughts of the best writers Of the
age, hints about the household, farm,
orchard and garden; information
about harvesting and preserving
crops, stock and poultry raising;
cooking, sewing and ornamental
work; and a hundred other things Oi
profit and interest to the farmer and
his wife and children. that the busy
country editor could never get up In
any such creditable shape as the pat
ent- inside" of the Chronicle shows
from week to week. ys-
The Chronicle publishes all the news
of the parish that IL worthy Of note
yet after thirty years experience in
the newspaper buslness, and with the
best thought the editor can express
Ms to men and matters, he still feels
that the paper h largely improved by
the 10 or IL columns Of spleudid read
ing matter on its inside pages. There
fore We would especially commend
the reading on the patent inside" o
the Chronicle as decidedly superior te
anything thstan country editor car
possibly get up for his paper.
