-"Put it on the front page" is the
common request, giving prominence TO
an announcement of some kind. The
thought is, of course, says an exchange,
that being on the front page it will be
read, while il it occupies another it will
be overlooked. We think this is poor
opinion of newspapers, especially of
county weeklies. These newspapers
are read through by the reader. 1t is a
reflection on the intelligence of the
reader of the newspaper to suppose
that they read only the front page. If
you don't believe this let us publish an
article, derogatory about you, in the
most obscure place in the paper and
see how soon both of us hear from it.
