The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 184?-1851, 1844-03-21
VALEDTCTORY.

With the present No. our connection with the
Cadiz Sentinel ceases. We have disposed Of
the establishment to L. HaRPER, Esq, who will
conduct it in future-and who iseveFy way com
petent to conduct it with honor to himself
and advantage to the Democratic party. Mr..
Harper is no stranger to many Of the Democrats
OF Harrison county. He has been a citizen of
Cadiz since last summer, and although practi-
cling attorney Ia practical printer, possessing
considerable experience as an editor. In 1885
3 he conducted the Democratic organ of JetIer-
son county in this State, and in 1910, he was in
sthe th.ckestof the battles in Maadville, Crawfbfd
county, Pa.having sole con rol, as editor, Of the
"CrawfJrd Democrat" We have no hesitation
in assuring the patrons of the Sentinel that they
will have no cause to regret the change. It is
trite, but, nevertheless, correct saying that ''a
new broom sweeps clean;'' and We trust that with
the assistance Of this new editor, the Democrats
OF Harrison county may make ''clean sweep"
of the coonskin tribe of politicians, with which
they will have to do next fall. Itwillrequre ex-
traordnary vigilance, and almost super-human
power for Democratic editor to bear up against
the powerful combined and systematic efforts of
the enemy to crush him, orrender his labors mug
atory; falsehoods Of the basest and most unfoun-
ded nature will be put adoat about bis character
and his paper. He viii be msrepresented and
vilifed--abused and blackguarded without stint,
be his character for truth and varacity ever so
fair.
Then, fellow-democrats, it is your imperious
duty to stand by the palladium of your liberties;
to sustain the editor by your money and your
approving smiles The usefulness and efficiency
ol paper depends very much upon the punctu-
atty Of its patrons inpayng their subscriptions
When they lag in this the editor becomes involy-
ed In debt, and embarrassed. His time and at
tention, which should be employed in making
his paper useful and entertaining, are put in re-
quisition TO devise ways and means tokeep up
his sinking credit; his paper loses its wonted
tone and presents dull, inspid, languishing ap-
pearance, and after all, the subscribers who are
thus reniss in paying up, get worse paper, and
have to pay more for it, than they would if they
paid in advance, Or within the year. Much is
gained in every way, both to the publisher and
the patrons Of paper, by subscriptions being
regularly and punctually paid. A large proper
tion Of the subscribers to The Sentinel have made
it point 10 pay either in advance or within the
year, and it is owing to their punctuality that
the Sentinel has been able 10 stand, and make
its appearance in the beautiful dress.in which it
now presents ITSELF We doubt not the patrons
ofthe Sentinel will continue 10 support il, while
under the auspices of the new editor and propr-
etoE Let no one, who is possibly able to pay
for Il, disc ontlnue his subscription. 1t would be-
. shame for q democrat 10 withdraw his support
from such paper at 50 Iowa price. No.good
republican, in the county, who can command a
dollar and d haIf should be without the Cadiz
Sentinel. M
Ia taking our loaye, editorially, Of the Demo
Gratis Of Harrison county, we would not be doing
justice 70 our feelings, were We not to thank them
feryontly, adcctionately thank them for the
kindness and friendship which they have bestow-
cd upon Us. Il Is more than seven years since
we held the relation to them which Is about to
Be severed. During all tliistime they have stuck
10 o. like brothers. And although We may 10
l0nEsv stand upon the watch tower; IL watTrthem
