It is impossible te reach the majority of the homes of this district through any oýther! papar or papers. The James' Papers do net over-lap to any appreciable extent. We do net expect people te suhecrihe for both papers because the news is se much the samne. The adver- tiser, therefore, who advertises in our two papers reaches ail the families worth consideration. We devote our best efforts to inake our papers newsy and it is local news thiat the people want in a local papers.
