The deplorable condition of the press of Ohio at the time is so graphically and candidly set forth by the editors of the Olive Branch--the only paper published in the county--in their last appeal for support, is better illustrated by reproducing the article entire: “PROSPECTS “FOR CONTINUING THE PUBLICATION OF THE OLIVE BRANCH. “The publishers now call upon the citizens of ---- county, and the country adjacent, to determine if they shall continue publishing _The Olive Branch_. They have fully and firmly determined to discontinue its publication, unless the number of their subscribers is considerably increased. They apprehend their present number will not pay the expense of the establishment; and they do not think themselves able, nor are they under obligations, to lose more by it than they have lost already. “If, therefore, the citizens of the county are desirous that a paper should be published at this place, and if any think _this_ worthy of their patronage, let them declare it by adding their names to the list of our subscribers. By this declaration, yea or nay, when fully and explicitly made known, we shall positively abide.
