A county newspaper is very
helpful to all that take it. If it
were not for the county news
paper we would not know the
news of our community for no
one would take the trouble to
send the news to any other pa
per.
We get all kinds of informa-
ton from the paper. We might
want to know something about
farming and could not find any
one who could tell us anything
about it, but when the next
weeks paper came the very
thing that we were looking for
nay be in it. There is included
in it other information such as
that about cooking, house clean
ing, household hints and many
other kinds of sales and when
3nd where they take place. It
also has information about the
moving pictures which are to be
shown the following week. The
paper gives its readers better
opinions on schools, government,
churches and all topics of pre-
sent day interest. It gives them
more ideas of how to run schools
and how other things are being
carried on in the county.
Our paper could be improved
by the addition of more national
news. A column or two might be
set aside for the citizens of the
county; where they could express
their ideas on matters of every
day interest. With these things
included our paper would be one
OF the best county newspapers.
Our paper should have the 10y
al support Of every citizen for it
is helpful to all of us in so many
ways. If we had no county news
papers we would realize more
forcefully what large place it
fills in our lives. No greater
force for the changing or making
of public opinions can be found
in any county. For that reason
alone we should support our
home paper.
If every family in Ashe Coun
ty received a copy of the Sky
land Post all its members would
be better informed on county,
state, and national news. They
would know better how to car
ry on their work on the farm not
only from a financial standpoint
but from more ENJOYABLE
standpoint. They would find that
life would indeed be more abun-
dant for Ashe County Citizens.
