Recorder We have already made some inn
proyemenis. Our pspe, Is now printed On good
type, most Of II nearly new. and we have this
week given il neat new head. To enlarge il
will require new press and some other addition
al materials. which will involve considerable
expenditure Of money. 10 meet this. however.
il is only necessary for our friends Ia procure US
few additional subscribers, and those who have
bcen iaIdy in their remittances To pay up. With
a little effort all this might he. done in a few
weeks. Our Wing friends have heretofore been
ren,iss in this particular. With few individual
exceptions 10 these we feel truly graIcful--

lecied With as much care as that of any paper in
the country; and The farmers OF this section, whe-
Their Wings or Democrats. will find thai Il cir in
terests are espcraly considered in the selections.
And though our paper Is decidedly Wing. we
aim 10 make il good family paper, worthy Of
the support Of both parties; and amid all our dis
couragcmcms, we have occasionally had natter-
ing evidence thai our laaors were appreciated nv /
those whose good opinion we highly esteem.
