came to us in improved form and
appearance last week. The News
has always been one Of two OF our
favorite Kentucky country weekly
exchanges, both being Of opposite
politics to us, but this does not
prevent us observing the true mer-
its Of the publications. The editor
Of the News and the editor Of this
paper 'sot'type side by side way
back yonder before the News was
thought of, and that was more
than twenty years ago, and there
exists more than a friendly relation
between the two papers although
opposed politically. Its prosperity.
is enjoyed by us with the same
cheerfulness as We would should
the Goddess of Fortune sidestep
our Ill luck and embrace us. AS
newspaper we wish the Tribune was
up TO the standard Of the News.
and 1t could be with proper sup
port. The constituency makes a
paper, and community OF busi-
ness men who refuse to recognize tho
merits of printers ink and an army
of people who send off and take soma
cheap. no-count city weekly in pre-
ference to. their home paper, such
unmakes a country weekly. Note
how many of Grayson's business and
professional men use advertising In
either OF the two papers published
here, yet the papers are expected TO
note all their successes and peram-
bulations, their improvements and
brag on the town to attract tho
country men to II, and do thousand
other "thanky' jobs from which
these same business men indirectly
realize profit. How can paper
prosper with such spirit, and
neither OF them would have been alive
today II they had depended on To-
cal support.-Grayson Tribune.
