pers cars, hardship and unnecessary
expense 10 the business men of the
city. as we'll as to the subscribers who
took both papers, when one is entire
ly sufficient
The last paragraph of the an
nouncement contains statement that
even business men do not always ap-
precia.e-that two papers cause a
hardship and unnecessary expense to
the business men of the city, as well
as subscribers who took both papers.
In communities like Kosciusko and
Holly Springs where only one weekly
can be properly sustained, or like
Greenville where only one, daily can
live very long, the merchants receive
better results from advertising in
one paper, properly sustained, than
in two papers at double the cost
while subscribers who take two local
papers pay double price for practi-
cally the same news.
Now with the scarcity of help and
the high cost of producing newspa-
pers elimination by consolidation has
become imperative in many localities

the inviting conditions Of the South?
The time was never more opportune
than now to advertise Mississippi and
the South. Yet, our people go on in
the same old rut and careless way.
When the printers struck in New York
and it was decided by some of the
largest publishing concerns if the
country to seek other locations, did the
South go after them? No, but Chi
cago, Indianapolis and other wide
awake cities went for them and they
got them. The South sat like sleep
ing toad and let some Of their best
opportunities go by unnoticed.
How long, how long yet will it be be-
fore the people of the best section OF
the United States will wake up and
do something worth while?
