The Local Newspaper.
Its Importance Not Appreciated by
Some Persons.

1t is the local press which serves
you in every emergency. There
you go in trouble. 1t is there you
go in prosperity. If you want to
boom any manufacturing enter
prise, any railroad project, for the
development of your town. for your
lodge to increase your influence,
or if your lodge desires to add to
it's membership or to erect a new
hall or in any way advance it's in
terests, the local press is imme-
diateiy appealed to for help. So
it is with our churches. If it is a
picnic or a festival, new carpet
or an organ, the local press is
found to he useful in furthering
every good object. If a raid is to
be made on sin by the ambassa-
doris of Christ, the columns of the
local paper are used freely, gra-
tuitously in advertising the revi-
val or protracted meeting. The
candidates and politicians find al.
SO the importance of the local
press.
Clearly there are many reasons
why the local press should be Gull
tivated. Yet in spite of all these
facts the people most interested in
the local paper are sometimes the
last to give it their support and
are frequently known to take sew
eral metropolitan papers and shut
ont their local paper altogether.
If there is anything in the argu-
ment about the advantages OF
home trade, surely it makes a
strong appeal on behalf OF tue To-
cal press, because the money for
the labor is always expended
where the paper is printed, and if
paid out with one hand for sub.
scription, advertising or job print
ing it comes into the other hand.
and thus remains with you. If
by any means you freeze out your
local paper aud leave yourself at
the mercy of the foreign. you
would find out more fully than
words or arguments could explain
why the local paper should be cul-
tivated. - Derry (Mass.) Enter
