"A local newspaper is the great me-
dunn of exchange in the place in which
it is published. 1t is the fountain head
to which all resort for news. 1t is the
chief instrument by which buyers and
sellers, merchants and public, are
brought into business relations with
each other. It stands for knowledge,
good morals, and progress, and is in
the forefront of every movement to
further the best interests of the com
munity. BY former citizens, who have
made new homes in other places, it is
welcomed as a regular newsletter that
keeps them in sympathetic touch with
the old home they still love and keeps
green tender memories of the past.
