"Old Ilurrygraph" (.1. A. Itobinson of Durham) contrilbuted the follow-1 iig article on the value of a news paper to the first issue of the Gralnite Falls Times: "Every place of importance in this busy, hustling age, has its local news paper. It has long since become an established fact that a newspaper is the mirror of a thrifty community. I It is also the eye and mouthpiece of that community. Publicity is a great moving force in these times of live coiiec'Cial activities. "A newspaper is not only the most intelligent force in advertising a town aiid keeping it on the map, but it is also a telling force between the seller and the buyer. It brings the two to gether, and thereby creates trade. It is the most economical means of draw ing attention to a town as well as the quickest mode of communication be tween the citizens of a community. Its advertising columns, where they live,, wide-awake business men see the advantage of letting the public know% who they are and where they do busi ness, inl a finie spirit of liberality, tellF the story of a town's various enter pjrises. This catches the eye of the public and rivets it upon the towm with a live newspaper. "Did you ever stop to think, Mr dBusiness Man, that in this hurryinf age many people are continually mov ARI ~w about your fi e you satisfied' you know just nber of fires? hy deal with so e sell R EA L ANTEED? e represent TH . Farm Policy pe :es, and insures day, fodder, bar Write or phon [EL. ing about; new people move in who are not acquainted with the local ner chants, the manufacturers, the va rious new, as well as the older in habitants, and it is regarded by the most successful businesses as the best medium through which to keep their trades constantly before the public. People look in the newspapers for what they want. They haven't time,' like in the olden days gone by, to walk around and hunt bargains. Peo ple are in a hurry. The newspaper carries your trade and invitation into their homes and serves as a silent salesman-in fact, your advertisement works for you while you sleep. "The advertising advantages of a paper to a town is not its only value. The local news, the social gossip, which will be found in no other paper, creates an nthusiasm which gives life and energy to a place. It helps neighbors tW know about the achieve ments of each other. It stimulates town pride and lets the world know what you are doing. It. is as good as a weekly letter from home to those at a distance. It gives encouragement and boost to local enterprises they would not otherwise get. The value o)f a newspaper to a community can hardly be estimated. "The faith a town puts into its newspaper is the faith that builds towns. The power of the press can not be estimated in words. A success ful paper must have the co-operation of the community. Every advertiser --and every man in business should advertise-and every subscriber is the maker of a good paper. His patron age in either case is the life blood of the enterprise. The unity of the whole, behind and backing the pub lisher-makes the best paper possible in any community. Put your need of a good newspaper in the hands of faith and its publisher. Faith in the enterprise, and back of that faith a hearty and cheerful patronage. Don't ask how, why or when. Just do your level best for your town paper, and have an abiding faith, which is the great miracle-worker of the age. Many a place has grown from a mere hamlet to a big thriving town by the efforts of its newspaper, and, the faith its citizens had in it, and backed up that faith with co-operation with the publisher."
