Every town should have a newspaper, and in order to maintain a newspaper, it must be given a liberal support. Its adver- tising columns, in particular, should be well patronized, and the more pros- | perous you make the home paper, the other by frequent correspondence. We have been sharing our joys and sor- rows with each other as brothers should, and it affords us much pleasure to say that the joys of each have been greatly in excess of the sorrows. By dint of hard work and untiring energy, we have both prospered, but the career of neither of us has always Urinary structure, and often overcomes the worst forms of Rheumatism in just a little while.
