FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10th, 1875.
ENLARGEMENT.
2000 WANTED.
Next Friday we intend to enlarp©
the Buena Yista Argus, to a twenty
eight column paper, it now being
twenty-four. This enlargement will
entail upon n3 a heavy additional ex
pense, and to enable us to sustain it,
every friend of the paper and public
spirited citizen of tho county* should
strain a point in its suppoitr 1
It has long since been conceded
that to sustain the county news pa
per is a duly incumbent upon every
citizen of the county, so much so as
it is to support the church by contri
butions or the government by taxes.
The relation of the county newspa
per to the citizen is three-fold’ Ist.
It is a news-gatherer for his individ
ual and personal benefit, searching
for and publishing just such infor
mation as will interest and be valua
etc to him, rejecting all that does not
contain that as a component part.
This greatly increases its value io the
county-man but circumscribes it3 pat
ronage. 2nd. It is a civilizing and
refining power in tho county, eleva
ting the aspirations, improving the
society, and cultivating commend
able county pride and public spirit,
among the people. It lessens crime
and increases the security of both
life and property. It is moralizing
and elevating in its influence upon
the young and old. 3rd. It in
creases the value of property and the
general prosperity of the county, sus
taining county enterprises, watching
over and fighting for the county’s in
terests and defending tho county’s
character and prestige.
Asa public servant, whose
sole employment is advancing
and advocating the interests of
the county and the people, it is
entitled to a liberal reward.
The man 'who will accept tho labors
of another, which vastly increases
his own prosperity while it impover
ishes his benefactor, without feeliog
under moral obligations to reward
him for it, is either ignorant of what
is honorable and just, or devoid of
self respect and honesty. The fact
that he is compelled, by circumstan
ces, to labor for him without com
pensation, does not relieve the re
cipient of his obligation to remuner
ate him The fact that the govern
ment is compelled to guard our lives
and property, does not relieve us of
the just obligation of taxes, it matters
not how much we may be opposed to
the officers and the administration.
So it is with the county newspaper.
The circumstance of its publication in
tie county necessitates its empl jyment
in the interests of every citizen of the
county alike, whether that citizen
the paper or not. The paper is com
pelled to sustain the relations to each
one, above explained, regardless of the
recipient’s support or opposition. We,
therefore, fruin the above premises,
reach the conclusion that every prop
erty holder in the county is justly in
debted to us, whether be takes the pa
per or not, in the sum of two dollars—
the nominal fee we charge, not for the
paper, hut as a remuneration for our
labors in the interest and advancement
of the county and its citizens. It is
just as much a debt to us as taxes are
to the State —only the payment of the
debt to us is one of honor, while that
to the State is one of compulsion.
We believe that every citizen in the
county ought to take the Akgds and
pay for it, who is able to pay it, and
there is not a farmer or man in business
who is not able, however poor he may
feel.
Wcwish to commence the year with
two thousand cash subscribers. To at
tain this circulation we will offer extra
inducements to subscribers. We pledge
ourselves to do ail in our power to make
the Ahgus one of the best county
newspapers in the State. We are pre
paring a premium list for subscribers
and agents, and we want everybody to
work for their paper, the Ahgus —not
ou , s —and feel that they are laboring
in a good cause.
It we c m get a thousand subscribers
in the county, wo will insure a thousand
circulation outside of the county.

Mr. Haygood is comparatively a

He is one of the most popular di
