Editor August
like the way The Argus has been
showing ahead on live subjects. The
State Journal has been forced to sit up
and take notice and that gives us another
reason for believing we have news
medium, in Preston county, worth while.
An article in last weeks issue on useless,
and excessive taxation illustrates the
point in issue. 1t should be read by
every Prestonian wanting information on
how our state government is run from a
financial standpoint; and also how even
young editor can keep sweet and not
