THE FIRESIDE
— ? ... .- -^_ THE NEWSPAPER— HOW TO . USE IT. A good newspaper is a money-saver. If you want to sell or buy anything you may see the current price m a newspaper, and you will also see what you might want advertised. You don't hare to take hearsay, and thus suffer"' from mistakes and delays ; you just turn to your paper; and know all you wish to find put. 'If ou will often save the sub« scription cost of your paper by one single order for goods. You will often find chances for good bargains advertised that cannot be found m any other way. Journalism requires more selfsacrifice, indefatigable labor, patience, endurance, and nice discrimination than any other profession. No class of men furnish s> cheaply the indispensable intelligence, wisdom, and virtue, for the support Of the Government and welfare of the people as the well-trained and efficient journalist. Every good citizen should take a good paper ; he owes it to his country, his famiiy, and his own self-repect and interest. The local newspaper adds to the general wealth and prosperity of the place, as well- as increases the reputation of the town. It benefits all who have business, enhances the value of property, and it benefits you m every way. It increases your trade } it cautions against imposition ; it saves you from loss ; it warns you of danger; it points out different advantages and increases your profits. If you want such a paper, you must not consider it ah act of charity to support it, but as a means to increase your own wealth as well as that of the. place m which you live.— WV J. Carey m the' Pensacola Advance Gazette of Florida, U.S. '" ■■■■• ■= ••■■■ ■'-'
