Importance of Local Newspapers.

cit would be misfortune to the country
if the few big cities should interfere seri-
ously with the publication of valuable and
intelligent local Newspapers, for upon the
local newspaper the welfare of the country
very largelG depends" says tho Chicago
American. "The metropolitan daily can
not possibly know the needs of the various
localities. Only the local newspapers can
protect local interests and local opinion.
We hope that in every town and village
there may be enough public spirit to sup
port earnestly local newspaper, giving
encouraging appreciation and good living
to the editor, who also can represent and
defend justice and public spirit among his
neighbors. The man is unfortunate who
cannot afford to take two newspapers al
to-day's prices. He who cannot afford
two newspapers, in our opinion, should
display his sense of duty to his locality by
taking the local newspaper"
