Considering the very low price at
which good newspapets can now he se
cured. there Is no excuse nor justifica
tion for any man to let his family grow
up in ignorance of what is going on In j
the world. There is not a newspaper >
published that Is not worth more than
$1,80 a year to any family If they do
not take a paper; and If they do any
paper is worth all it costs if they will
read It. Take all the papers your
family will read. It will more than re.
pay you. In this age of cheap papers
people cannot afford to live nor let
their falinlles grow up In Ignorance of
what i» going on the world.— Sterling \
