That's not true, they do advertise on several pages but not near 3/4 of the print. There is local, county, state, and national news, police blotters, sports section, religious section on Saturdays, health, lots of charity articles, photos sent in by residents, obits, anniversaries, things to do, clubs, travel, gardening, automobiles, lots of good reading in the paper and to see a few pages of homes for sale or open houses is a good feature. The news section may be a day old due to being printed once a day but so is any other printed news outlet.
