Only those who have lived in a snif 11 town can realize the power and fascination of a home paper. It occupies a place that no other publication can fill. The home newspaper comes first, always. Everybody looksthrough every column to see it his or her "name is in the paper. Each bit of local gossip is read and discussed.

Sometimes it is a birth, sometimes it is a death, sometimes a marriagre. No mat ter what it is, every name men tioned is familiar to all, and for this one reason alone the dioine paper is prized above aud be yond anything the "literary fel lows" the cities can produce. It doesn't take a while to read the rtews in the home- papers; there's time to read the advertisements, and the advertisements are read, just the same as the news. livery business man in every town where a paper is printed should be represented in that paper. If he is not it is he, and not the publisher, who is the loser.
