LeBaron and family, The latest thing out in the newspaper line is the Dwight WASr, published at Dwight, Morris county, by Hal L. Sweetland. We think the editor made a mistake in naming his paper Wasp. It certainly 6hould have been called the honey bee. We notice many honeyed morsels fresh from Sweetland, throughout the paper, and yet running through the whole are traces of sharpness which are as convincing as the argument usually advanced by It's namesake, the wasp.

Mr. Wasp we accept your challenge to Xchange. Prairie Owl. Thanks Bro. Carr, for the compliment.

We shall endeavor to merit it, always. i. One of our exchanges very truly says, that every local paper gives from $100 to $500 in free lines for the benefit of the vicinity In which His located. No other agency can or will do this. The local paper, In proportion to means, does more for a town than any ten men in all fairness, man with man.

Its conductors ought to be supported, because a local paper is the best Investment a community eau make. It may not be brilliant nor crowded with great and deep thoughts, but financially It is more of a benefit to a community than the preacher or teacher. To-day the editors of papers do the most' work for the least money of any men on earth.
