Remember that it is published in your interest, that it batties for the rights of its own locality, that it keeps you posted in regard to the news of your own neigh- borhood that it' criticizes and reports the actions of local officers that it gives you the market reports that it discuss- es the questions of most importance to you and your neighbor and that it gives back to you directly and indirectly eyery cent you giye it. Don't measure it with a metropolitan paper, that is more than half filled with matter of no importance to you that gives you no local news that knows nothing about local officers, local questions or local necessities and that does not interest itself in building up your interests or the interests of your locality. Take a metropohtaa paper if you please, but always take your own local paper, Oratory and Bloeutlonr Lectures arc usually considered dry, and thus fail to draw, while elocution is but httle studied and hence not gener- ally appreciated.
