the country paper

I am a country newspaper. "

.1 am the friend of the family, the bringer of tidings from other friends; I speak to the home in the evening of summer's vine-clad porch or the glow of the winter’s lamp.

I help to make this evening hour; I record the great and the ' small, the varied acts of the days and weeks that go to make up life.

I am for and of the home; I follow those who leave humble beginnings; whether they go to greatness or to the gutter. I take * to them the thrill of old days, with wholesome messages.

I speak the language of the common man; my words are fitted to "his understanding. My congregation is larger than that of any church in my town; my readers are more than those in the school. Young , and old alike find in me stimulation, solace, comfort. I am the chronicler of man’s existence.

I am the word of the week, the history of the year, the record of my community in the archives of state and nation. ..

I am the lives of my readers.

I am the country newspaper. Bristow Adams in Canton Sentin
