“When you hear a man sneering at
the local paper because it is not big,
cneap and newsy as the city papers, ;
jou can safely bet he does not squan¬
der any of his wealth in assisting to
make it better, and that generally the
paper has done more for him than
•3e has done for it. The man who can
tot see the beenefits arising from a
local newspaper is about as much
value to a town as a delinquent tax
list.” This comes from the Houston
Post.
A good time to pay that Dollar!
