In speaking of newspapers gen.
orally, Whitelaw Reid once said: "All
the city papers cannot supply the
place of home newspaper. No 9TH
er contains the marriages and deaths
to say nothing of the time of the
next ball, picnic or political meet
ing; no other discusses the affairs
of the town and county, or gives in
detail the local news, which can be
obtained from no other source.
Everybody reads, and that is why
the unpretentious local paper is the
best paper in the world"

ernment officials believe that the
maker of the notes is the same coun-
terfeiter who, for months, circulated
bogus one-dollar bills in Boston,
Philadelphia and other Eastern cit
les.
