Mr. Editor, before closing this communication, we desire to compliment you on the production of your new paper. "The Fulton County News" is certainly an ideal country newspaper and one that the people of Fulton county may well feel proud of. The people who take it will have in addition to the advantage of a city weekly, the State, county, township and village news; also the latest market reports, which, to our farmers, merchants, or anyone else who has produce to sell, means a great deal. We trust that it may be kept up to its present high standards: if so, it will be a great advantage to all who may read it, and will reap a splendid reward financially. ----------------------- AMARANTH School opened Monday, with our former teacher, Walter Stein, of Emmasville.
