They criticise! ii harshly sometimes ami say it is no good and never has any items oi interest. Have you noticed that these same people always want a good w 111<* 11}i win-n 'some im-mber ol the tatnily dies, or 'marries. ,>r when ?lit mis eo i tie to visit them, or they j I hoiiiselves go ofl' somewhere? | lhd von ever go a long way off 1 lorn home? \ on will appreciate t.he Iptle items in the county paper then lite homely little notes about ; our neighbors. Why should you read your county paper.' Because || is your duty? No, indeed. it isn't your duty at all; jt is. your opportunity to know what's mting-on. I know a landlord who advised all his tenants, white and colored, to take the county paper. Why? Well the county agent publishes notices nowadays about government contracts with farmers. Then all the lega' Polices are published in the county paper. Then those who come and fep'; those who are sick?they are there, too. 1 hen what goes oil in the churchami schools, the card parties and sewing clubs?all that is there. Then the industrious demonstration lady tolls you about meetings and methods? and all that. I read many county papers and am impressed with the real quality of some t>L- thetn?real county papers they are. Of course you ought to take it and you ought to pay for it. I lie city daily does not take the place of the county paper. People sit at home and read the county items. People read those papers calmly, quietly and thoroughly. Thai's why j merchants find it to their advantage j to advertise in them -that is live merchants. If a man hasn't anything to sell, or is ashamqd of his goods, there is no use inviting tho public to his store. But if he has something wortli selling lie ought to take a hint from that great advertiser, the hen, and make a joyful noise about it, proclaiming proudly to the world that lie is alive and doing business.?
