DEATHLESS RECORD.
The thousands of country
weekly and smaller city daily
newspapers in the United States
stand in a unique position.
Absolutely nothing takes the
place of the hometown paper.
It leaves a printed record of com
munity life and activity that can
be found nowhere else.
For an example, take the
Reese River Reveille of Austin,
Nevada, published in the geo
graphical center of a state hav
ing a population of less than 2
persons to each of its 109,000
square miles of area.
The Reveille has been pub
lished continuously since May
16, 1863, two years after the
first telegraph line across Ne
vada replaced the Pony Express.

The files of the Reveille, pre
served in the courthouse vault,
are said to be the only complete
files of any Nevada newspaper
dating back to territorial days.
All of whloh points up the
fact that the local newspapers
in every corner of our country
furnish a deathless record of the
people and the area they served.
Looal history is recorded and
preserved by the country press
of the nation—hopes, aspira
tions, facts, drama, marriages,
births, deaths, political events,
legal records—the whole chain
of human activity.
A town without a local news
paper is like a phonograph with
out a record.
