No paper can be published without home patronage and everv man in tne country is interested keeping a paper, it a railroad or factory is wanted the newspapers are expected to work for it. If a public meeting is wanted for any purpose the newspapers are on for a free notice. If the church es or cnaritauie societies nave a supper or entertainment of any kind the news paper is expected to give all the neces sary notice ana men a putt utter it is over. The newspaper must puif after schools and do everything else to ad vance the interest of the business men of the place, and then give them handsome notice when they go to heaven and yet do nothing to keep up a paper.
