We wonder how many of the read
ers of The Dispatch have ever stopped
to think and marvel at the quantity
and quality of information and enter
tainment the Columbus Dispatch of
fers the people for the insignificant
price of a yearly subscription of one
dollar. Newspapers are being appre-
ciated more and more every year, and
there are few families now content
with one newspaper; but We Will find
in nearly every farmers home not
only his county paper, but one or two
dailies, besides three or four of the
leading magazines. The thirst for
knowledge is not exactly satisfied and
books, though useful, fail to meet the
demands Of youth or old age. Our
county newspapers are eagerly sought
and their contents eagerly scanned.
Newspapers are also valuable to ma
terial prosperity. They advertise the
village, the city. the county; they
spread before the reader a map on
which may be traced character and
the general progress of the county.
If a visitor or stranger calls at your
home or stops at the hotel, he first
calls for the county newspaper. If
a friend comes from a distance, the
very next thing after the family
greeting he wants to look over your
county paper, and you feel discom-
flied if you are unable to find a late
copy and confounded if you are com
PEELED to inform him that you do not
take it. Good papers and magazines
are just as necessary to fit men and
women for their true position in life
as food and raiment So let the edi-
tor and the writer of this department
have your good wishes for the new
year, backed up with your subscrip-
ton. 1t will encourage us a lot to
have you demonstrate your faith in
The Dispatch by word and deed. Let
us hear from you all, and we would
be glad if you would manage to write
TO the editor of the Caledonia depart
ment of the news of your neighbor-
hood. Let's put our heads together
and make this the banner year for
The Dispatch.
