JOB w DIRK
TO OUR FRIENDS.

WE have just received lot Of New Types,
part of which are intended for the con-
templated enlargement of the Recorder, and the
others to enable us to execute in better style
Blanks and other Job Work. Our friends will
see from this that we are in earnest in the mat
ter of the enlargement of our paper, and we
hope to receive sufficient encouragement to en-
able us to do so before the meeting of the Lc-
gislaturc. All that remains to accomplish it is
the purchase Of a new Press. The paper now
is as large as our old Press will print; and be-
sides, having withstood the assaults of the Brit
ish in the war Of 1912, it is somewhat difficult
to be kept in order, and cannot be safely relied
on. An addition of $50 new subscribers, with
an advance payment, would meet the necessary
expenditure at once. We appeal, then, to our
friends in Orange, Alamance, Granville, Person,
and other neghboring counties, to aid us. By a
little effort from each of our present subscribers,
all that we require could be accomplished in a
few DAYS. The enlargement would make con-
siderable addition TO the amount of reading mat
ter each week, and would greatly increase the
usefulness and efficiency of the paper. IL pro-
perly encouraged, we shall endeavor to make
the RECORDER not only faithful exponent Of
Wing principles, but also one of the best Fami-
ly Papers published in the State. Who will be
the FIRST to respond to our appeal We have
labored faithfully and long in the Wing cause,
and for what we believed to be the true inte-
rests of North Carolina, and surely an appeal
now to the friends with whom we have co-ope-
rated, will not pass UNDECIDED.
