thanks to Messrs. Taylor& Harvey, and Messrs.
Harrington, Hannah & Fairchild, for their kind
ness in furnishing US with the latest news and

CITY OF EVANS WILLIE:
SATURDAY, APRIL 81, 1913.

OCFThe present number ofthe Tri Weekly
Journal closes the volume. When we COM
menced its publication, one year ago to-day
although we were assured by our business men
of generous support in the way of advertise
ments, and encouraged By all classes to com
mence the issue, and feeling ourselves the want
of such sheet to the communicative never
theess had fears that the business and popula-
ton of our city was not sufficiently extensive
to sustain a Tri-Weekly paper. In this we
were much mistaken; and we now have the
satisfaction to state that the support given to
us during the past year has been greatly be-
yond our most sangulne hopes, or the promises
of our friends. In making this acknowledge
ment, and in returning our hearty thanks to
the whole community for the confidence placed
in US, we may be permitted say that we have
labored diligently and faithfully, in season and
out of season, for the improvement, growth
and benefit of our city, and it is source off in
finite pleasure to US to be assured that our eff
forts have not been in vain. The business and
prosperity of our city is far greater than it was
one year ago, and destined in little while to
compete successfully with Louisville. All
that is necessary to improve the business of
our city is IberaLity on the part of our business
men. With them is the power to continue its
prosperity, and in view of the change which
has been wrought in one short twelve month,
we feel confident they will come up to the
date tn
As we said in the first of this article, this
number closes the volume, and here the Tri-
Weekly ends. On Monday we shall issue the
/ frsts number of the EVANSVILLE DAILY jour
NAL" We have been pursuaded, nay, driven
to this by the wants of the community, and the
calls upon our columns, which Tri-weekly
paper cannot satisfy. We know very we'll in
advance the labor we are imposing upon our
selves, the constant and unremitting laborand
watchfulness it will require to produce sheet
every morning that will prove acceptable tc
the general reader, and of benefit to the bust
1 ness of our city; but with firm determination
to leave nothing undone that should be done
and to spare no pains or labor to accomplish
our object, we commit ourselves to the task

ness men, the welfare and prosperity of our CITY
and the necessities of the people of the grea

commercial point of view depend upon thi
place, demand it, and 1t 8haHbe.
