dents of rural municipalities to suppose that because they got a lame city- weekly for the same money that they pay for a good local paper that they receive more valce for their money this is a mistaken idea- any mzn who takes the least inter est fh the i5iirs o his towcihip or county if he can a5crd only one paper shouli tike the one published in his owa township or county the local paper furnishes its readers with the news of the district market reports agricultural news council reports accounts of agricultural societies and shows and local news generally none of which the city papers can pretend to do it will thus be seen that neither the mail globe or exy other city weeuy can eupply the places of the local paper glibtongued agents to the contrary notwithstanding to which do the people look when there is some local scheme to be advocated do they run to the city papers ko for they know it wonld be of no use to do so then the country press diould let those who take a city weekly in preference to a local paper go to the city editors for ant- favors they may ask a good live paper is ibest institution any town can possess the cradle scott in kent ohio on the 22nd oct the
