1t is currently reported that a news
PAPER will soon be started called the
Potosi News 1t will not be published
il Potosi or in the county but in East
Dubuque, H., presumably from the Of
flee Of the Register. The business men
and people of Potosi experienced q
similar scheme some years ago when
w. r Wise, then station agent at Po-
tosi, undertook to edit a Potosi paper
to be issued from the East Dubuque
Register office He induced few to
take short subscriptions and possibly
a few minor advertisements. The pa
per did not live long and collapsed in
about two months. Such may be the
fate of the forthcoming Potosi News.
There is a fair field here for paper
to be published at home but not else
where and any other proposition is
doomed to failure.
