The newspapers of a town are its looking glasses. It is here you see yourselves as others see you. You smile on them, and tbey smile back at you. You frown en them, and you are repaid in kind. They are the re- flex of a town. If the town is doing business the newspaper will show it in its advertising columns. If the mer chants are spiritless, shiftless fellows, whose stores are jumbles of junk and jam, the newspapers will show it by Inc lack of space they take. If you want the world to know that you have a live town, you can only let it be known through its newspapers. Death of John Taylor.
