needed for this removal. yet we may be
n saying what every body knows.
who knows any thing about printing. that
no man can afford to print so large paper
for mere county circulation. True. we
have largo circulation outside the county
nearly half our circulation being Of this
kind-but we need and must have more,
hcnca We move to central point. As well
for the convenience Of the public as for
the greater facility Of printing our paper.
But what Of the present county patron
ago? Is that to be abandoned !? Not at
all. We have too many good and true
friends here to cast them of. Xo have
taken TOO much interest In tho affairs Of
old Franklin to abandon her interests. at
once. Our plan contemplates furnishing
them better paper than at present. Mr..

be printed. and the American. thus edited
and printed, viii be sent by express to
Brookyillc, whero Il viii be mailed to sub

We are sure that our friends viii be pleas

viii rejoice, should they hereafter learn
that the charge in locality has resulted In
making our business paying business
Few Of them know how hard We have toll
ed to sustain the paperi in this county. and
few know at what pecuniary sacrifice
We hope to do better peeuniary at least by
tho removal.
This arrangement IL to continue till the
fint Of next January at least and longer
II the parties interested deem It best
Should II, however. DO then thought best,
Nv. Craft will begin tho publication Of an
independents paper at the old Office.
But before this Is undertaken some
Facts should DO well understood. Meth
or Mr.. Craft nor any other man can print
as large a paper rs the AmeIedn now Is,
with the circulation that this county will
give. Hean not b done.
Another fact--no man can afford Ia
print even n smaller paper. and wait al
ways for his pay. II You want to sus'
tain good county paper you must expect
topay forit. And there is yet another
fact-such paper rs he will got up, car

Don't ask him to try. We know Il car

ut least, of the public printing or largel
subscription list than any paper ever had
In the county.
Though we hope to retain most Of oul
present subscribers. rs long rs we and
they live. though tho paper DO printed a
