The Trinity times., 1855-06-09
Something about You and Ourselves.

WIN The present number Of our paper we
commence new halfyear, and we think it a
proper occasion 10 have chat with you, dear
reader, in relation to matters which concern
US both.
The Trinity Times commenced it's career
six months ago, under somewhat unfavorable
circumstances. 1t was a dull season Of the
year, and many persons wero extremely
doubtful Of the success Of our undertaking.
But the wants Of the community required
press, and we resolved to supply that want,
and 10 offer to the citizens Of Trinity County,
for their support, such paper as we consid-
cred adapted to meet those requirements
How far we44aye succeeded in our undertak-
ing, is for you to judge. If We have not come
up TO your expectations, it has not been for
want Of an earnest endeavor on our part 10
deserve your appreciation. We knew that
we could not please alive knew that what
ever course we might pursue, in the conduct
Of our journal, there would be some to find
fault, aud accuse us Of partiality and injus-
tice--we knew that we must necessarily give
offence TO some parties, however honest and
independent our course. But we had our
course marked out, and we were determined
to follow it, without any regard for personal
interest nr individual favor
The advancement Of the prosperity Of Trim.
ity County and northern California has been
the object for which we have striven. We
have endeavored to attract the public atten
ton to the many and great advantages which
this portion Of the State possesses over any
other lis immense resources-its salubrous
clmate-its rich, but scarcely developed
mines-iis fruitful soil. It's advantages only
require to be shown, in order 10 be appreca
ted; and to make these advantages known
has been our great aim and object.
And now, dear reader, We wish you to as
sist US IN our undertahing-wc require your
aid, aud we trust that We shall not ask for it
in vain. Are you a subscriber to our paper2
II you are, we hope long to retain the connec-
ton existing between us. If you are not,
will you not now come forward and place
your name on our listi Is not our paper
worthy of your support! Are you a mcr
chant, an artisan, or n professional man, und
do you not advertise in our paperl Permit
us to say, that it is quite as much, if not
more, to your advantage, as it is to ours, to
advertise your goods or your business,
We do not beg your patronage. We do
not wish for it, unless you think that you re-
ceiye fair equivalent for your money. Ifyou
are not willing to support us in our underta-
for you cannot expect that any one will long
be willing or able to continue the publication
Of paper at a continual sacrifice of money,
labor and time.
And now, one word for the future, and we
have done. We shall endeavor to make the
Times a model country paper. We have
greater facilities than ever for receiving in
teligence from all portions of the country and
particularly from the different sections of our
own county. 1t is our intention to devote a
portion Of our sheet each week to the descrip-
ton Of the different mining aud trading To-
cali,ies within our boundaries, and we will
be much obliged to our friends throughout
the county if they will take a little pains TO
post us up in regard to matters which may
be of public interest, transpring in their i'm
mediate neighborboods
With a renewed zeal in the cause we have
undertaken do we commence another half
year, and We hope that our efforts may not
be vain, both in accomplishing the object at
which we aim and in deserving aud receiv-
ing your appreciation and support, dear reader

near completion that they announce ball to
