R.lBIRD & SONS CO. HOME TOWN WEEKLY JOBE'S ■X By J , H. Larimer* I read the , daily papers— read the state, and. foreign news, of the doing* here and yonder, arid of leading states­ men’* views. Read of Wreck and fire and murder, baseball, politics and crime, marriages and births and dyings,tof all the ’ happenings of time, Read ‘ the whole edition, over, from the first page to the last, news and comment*, facts and fan­ cies things to come, things of the past, Theu I thrust the , paper, for it is no more good to me; half the things that that I've read over soon my memory will flee. Then I get the home town weekly, and with keen and eager eye, - read the news it has to tell me news that's never 1dull and dry. For the news that's in that paper tells of folks I know .arid Jove, fplks who .afe both friends' and neighbors, folks whose goodness I can prove,/' Tells of church and school and * college, lodge, society and store * town improvements, council's doing*; squibs and personals galore. Having read this good town paper , Tead and swell myself with pride, I crank up my ancient fliver through town and country ride. Far away sometimes it takes me, into the town and states,, where I jn ay take notes and figures "and ’ make civic estimates. Then re­ turning to my roof-tree, call my neighbors ^ my side and here I ,will abide.” And ’ * with each returning TJjurs- * ' day, eagerly I watch and Wait for the postman'who is bring­ ing the old weekly to piy gate. Oh. I must' have the great dailies, magazines and trade reviews, but the- thing that makes me happy is the home town weekly news.
