The County Publisher and Printer,
a newsy little sheet, gives the Allow
ing advice which is worthy of study
by a great many county newspapers.

An exchange says it pays to keep on
the right side of newspaper men.
Every newspaper treasures up in its
memory the names of friends and liike
wise its enemies. It never overlooks an
opportunity to assist the farmer, but
never goes out of the way to aid the
latter. Human nature is the same
everywhere. People wno show a news
paper man kindness never make a bet
ter inyest meut, or one that more surely
repays them a hundred fold sooner or
later, As has been truly said: "There
occasionally conies a time in the life
of every man when a word said by a
newspaper either makes or unmakes
the individual mentioned." The man
who says he does not care what the
papers say ot him lacks truthfulness or
intelligence.

less of the position occupied in the
