Is the country newspaper: worthy
of the pride and support Of folks
at home, an avenue of commercial
entrance to those who would sell
their goods to our people. Presi-
dent I. l.. Turner in his annual adj
dress eloquently described its inn
portance in these words:
'fOut yonder stands a locomo-
tive ON the railroad track. Every
thing about it is in order; water
in the boiler, coal in the tender, en-
gineer at the throttle; but it can L
move. All it lacks is steam. Re
move the newspapers from Miss
issippi, take away the steam,
and this state would soon be a state
of idle people; its credit gone.
Weeds would grow in the streets
our farmer would look for pasture
newer, manufacturers would de
part from us, and our people
would seek new fields of labor"
The hometown" paper is an
integral part of the lives of the
people it serves. 1t has been a
tremendous factor in building up
an American spirit and conscious
ness. and in turning public opin-
ion into wise avenues.
