H. Till KSTON, Village Clerk. A Local Newspaper A prominent national tducutur speak ing "'" the liooie newpaptr aays "a loeol newb|Ki[>er it. holutely neves-viry to any oinuiunity. It may bu that tlu- daily papers, with their large news servico and quicker facilities may have overrun the small weeklies, but the weeklies continue to till a place that the dailies can never fill. It they keep the people of a community in touch with each other by giving them the news of their town m i county, fur that alone they are of Tslu aiu? are worth fur more than the price that U paid for them. If they merely chronicle the progress of the community itnd keep the local pride and progress spirt arnund, they re worth still more far more, in fact, thun the town ever kpeods on them. 'Bear this in mind : No merchxrt nor town oth'ictal win." sounds every year all that he can afford with the home pper whether that expenditure IB ac ually necessary ur not--niuk?j a wiser, inore ptontable investment. Some think they are givinf the home paper something. On the con'rary, the paper is earning every cent it nets and more provided it is a piper worth picking up in the road. And if it isn't that sort of (wiper, it i . ii-i: il' the failt of the town in which it is published. The average weekly editor u.-udly IIH.S his all i .. . i-ii in hit newspaper prop- erty. That investment generally repre- sent from two to tive thousand dollars But it is worth more to a town thin live times the (mount invested in any other local enterprise. A a rule th newspaper repre-wits to the outside world the town itaeif. Poor piper, |>oor town is the ii-ii.il verdict. It it therefore to the interest of every town to support a good newspaper. Not through local piide alone, but fiom nprtclic*! business stand- point and reasons. A newspaper is con- stantly doing ten tunes a* much for iU town M it could ever hope to get pay for more than it could charge for, t it would. The more ptosjierous a paper is, the more it is able to do. Show us a giod weekly paper, full of live lofpl advertisements, with a nern " "' cirurfh- tii'ii thr. ii^hoiit the county, and we will show you an up-to-date, prosperous progressive community. And I will show you paper that U worth tive tin.es is much to t !, it community every ye ir at the editor manages to make for him- self. People should stop to think about these !.!::- It i.s an important matter. It is the welfare and progress of their community, therefore of, theinxevles individually.
