The Local Newspaper.
Hon. Preston B. Plomb, late U. 8. Senator from |
| Kavsas,
1 believe in local newspapers, They
are the lenders, the makers of public sen-
timent. They are nearer to the people |
than. any other papers. Their editors
mingle with the people, and consciously
or unconsciously. reflect the views of
their readers. By reading tbe local pa-
pers Tecan tell just what the people. are |
thinking and’ talking about. I can feel
the pulse of the people snd take their
temperature.
excellence of onr. country pipers; The
majority of them “are carefully, ably ed-
ited. They not only print the news of
their neighborhood, but have opinions
which I find it worth my while te read
and reflect upon. 1 get no hetter return
for agy of the money which 1 spend than
for that which I pay out for the local
newspapers.
Knopk Out the Grip.
In a recently published interview with
Dr. Keeley. the discoverer of the cele-
brated cloride of gold remedy for drunk-
‘enness, says: ‘ No person need die of
grip; not only that, but no one need even
be sick enough from grip to have to go
to bed or quit his usual occupation.”
four times a dav, the doctor says, Jou
can break up the worst case of efip: ‘al
any stage of its development. He claims
it id an absolute specific for grip; he fur:
ther says it is partienlarly valuable on ac:
connt of its *‘clieapness.” simplicity and
harmlessness.. You gapnot take too
much of jt. No matter how many grains
a day you take it, will not hurt you.” At
any drug store You can get 4 grains asa-
fetida pills; take 4 of these four times a
day; if Yow ‘tuke 5 grains piils instead of
four, 80 much the better. This is cer
tainly pp harmless remedy and
shonld be tried.
Right You Are.
Now that the people of this town have
declared in favor ol a water supply and
electric light, what is to hinder us from
having a telephone line connecting all
county towns with the County seat?
‘This wouldn’t be nearly as large ‘an un-
| dertaking as appears at first glance.
Nearly all of the counties surrounding
us, and many more throughout the state
have such a system in operation, and the
owners of the wires, we are told, find
them a very profitable: investment. . No
matter how large our neighboring bor-
oughs may become their residents can’t
escape coming to Somerset lo transact
certain ‘business. Hardly a day passes
but persons are compelled to come here
at considerable expense from all sections
of the county, in order to transact busi-
ness that in many cases conld be done by
telephone.’ The. introduction of such a
system would be a convenience to people
all over the county alike; and. would be
geized upon by them just so soon as its
advantages became manifest, Capitalists
wha are looking for a safe and profitable
investment, for their money would do
/ well to inquire 1 to a county telepho
