Many people are possessed of the incredulous belief that it does not cost the country editor any thing to produce a paper each and every week throughout the year; We are at a loss to compre¬ hend how they dispense with the fact, that he has to purchase paper, type, ink, repair the machinery that he foolishly purchased, pay his employees, rent, etc. procure the very com mon necessities of life, pay the postage to 1 Tnele Sum and numcr Ous other expenses that daily occur. He purchases goods the merchants of his town, pays him the n uJar price, and when the merchant wants any printing done he sends of to the city to procure if and even pay more than the local paper would have charged him and yet the paper labors night and day to bring people to the town to patronize the same merchant.
