Irun-swick Cjounty, formed in 17G4, has long needed that which we hope she is now receiving, a giod live news paper. She has never had an oppor tunity wholly of her own, for . adver-. tising. When the law required her officials, pr private citizens wished to advertise, they liad to do so through the Wilmington papers at considerable cost and trouble, or by written posters which are often destroyejl and never read. If the people will now awake from their lethargy, nunse and footer county pride, march boldly in the path of duty, sulserihef and be rare to pay for the Leader and in every possible way encourage the noble editors, then we may hope for a Lkadrk indaed as well as in name. It should le in every household, read by every tax payer, so that the people may know what is going on in the county, and in what manner the officials are expending tlie tax money. One half of tlie tax payers of the county are not cognizant of the amount of money it takes to keep Brunswick county running.- The county being poor, hence the high taxes, that are so complained of. The i w njqyi,, tne Board of Com mis. i 1 a" - t pi,,,,,,- . Vwwt thW j sioners and of Education to "poet their I annual expenses and apportionments at the court house door, which w done, but who eei it, not more than one fourth the people. Hence the great necessity for a county organ to inform the people. I trust and believe the LauDaU will be rapported, and that it may long be what it justly claims to be, a Bruswick county Leader.
