The Cleveland liemld makes the following trdthful observations corf corning country newspapers : —J‘f The local paper is an absolute necessity//to the country community where it is published. 411 the city papers cannot supplj* the place of the local paper. That should be the first love of every man and woman, for with the paper is the locality identified; The paper gives the country and Sown where it is printed much more pronii tence and iitiportarico in the world, and gi\ es in detail rhore local news than can t 5 gained from any other source. Every week's issue of,the paper is so much local history, and the rise,growth, and development of. the town and country can be measured and recorded only by the local newspaper that constantly is gathering its items. People do not poperly appreciate Vheir home newspaper. They measure the wilue of a newspaper too' rriuch b'y the df columns it cotains; The home paper at aiy price is the cheapest one cart take, for in it. is found the information to be obtained from no other source, another thing is to qe taken into consideration : every country district has one or more newspapers. Hence the circulation of each paper must be limited. There is therefore, the-greatest need of activity and interest oh the part o:'people to give their own paper ■yigc J roi?ssri i el support,”
