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. NEIGHBORING TOWNS AND CITIES. TALBOTTON.

Gratifying Intelligence. Nothing could have pleased us more or been more gt atifying to all the Methodists of Georgia and Flori da, than the recent unanimous elec tion of Rev. Atticus G. Haygood, President of Emory College and Pro fessor of Moral and Mental Sciences. Mr. Haygood is comparatively a young man, whose elevation in his Church has been rapid and merited. He is one of the most popular di vines in the Southern Methodist Church, and under his administra tion Emory College will flourish like the young bay tree.
