The - chief business of a country newspaper is to collect all the news of its locality, and publish it in an atfract.drve form; and that one which performs this task most faithfully is the best local paper, regardless of the religion Vr politics of its editor. The publication of a city paper is often | i very remunerative, while those who "conduct country journals seldom re*cefve more than enough to supply their daily frugal wants. So many important interests Converge at business centers that an extensive demand is crested for the papers published in diem, and they derive "handsome incomes from their subscription lists, and obtain good prices for their advertftdngspace. But we who, for lack of means (money or brains), cannot engage in the business of our profession in large places and must be ’contented to remain in small towns, are more dependent upon tire good will and liberality of those among 'whom we reside and with whom we •Lave frequent intercourse. Therefore appeal is made to every reader of ■ thhrarticle: If not already a subscri'ber, pteate bring or send in $2 and have your name enrolled with the ’.generous for one year; if it is already ; with the numerous throng, say a good Void ter the paper to your neighbor And pereuade biiu to become a subscriber alsn.
