for the meagre amount Of reading matter
which our paper has contained for the las.
few months, as we are now about making
such arrangements as will give double the
quantity Of reading that our pape, now

feel and know that the only means Of sue
cess in business is by advertising. We
have now, upon cur advertising file, at
least three columns OF good paving adver-
tisemerts, and the cry is'stlI ihey come,
which Of course We are compelled to de-
fer for a short time, when we shall make
such arrangements as will enable us to
show our advertising friends chance, as
well as giving our readers larger quan-
tily Of reading matter.
