THE TRINITY JOURNAL.
Saturday Morning, February IA, 1857.
A Word with our Readers.

We take pleasure in presenting the JOURNAL to
our readers this week, somewhat improved in ap-
pearance and trust that it may be more welcome
than ever to the family circle and miners cabin.
The change has not been made without much
expense but it affords us pleasure in saying that
the liberal support given us by the citizens OF
Trinity County warranted the change, and the
outlay necessary to effect it,
Our humble success thus far is proof conclu
sive Of one fact that newspaper conducted In
an independent, impartial aud dignifed manner,
is the most appreciated by the citizen whose own
interest and that of his family is identified with
the morality, growth and prosperity of the Coun-
ty, and to the miner who seeks to know the truth
and character of passing events
Even in county like our own, where popula-
ton is sparse, and where all will admit, society is
as yet little rude, there is high and response
bic position to be occupied by the newspaper,
which, if filed with dignity, enterprise and intel
ligence, will not only command respect and sup
port from the people amongst whom it crculates,
but an admiration far beyond the consideration
of dollars and cents. This is becoming more ev-
ident every day, for we see one by one of the fill
thv little sewers that are flooding the land, dis
appear for the want of admirers and support.
Although we have said above that the popula-
ton of our County is sparse, we can say with
equal truth that the interests of the County are
great and important, and to the true and faithful
advocacy of these interests shall we labor to re-
ciprocate, to the extent of our abilities, for the
aid and encouragement extended us by gener-
Gus and enlightened community.
There are but few places in the State which can
boast of superior advantages or facilities for the
honest working man, Our mineral resources are
rich and extensyc~-n fact We might say mex
haugtatle, and although our agricultural resour-
ces are somewhat limited, our commercial inter
csts arc large and important, and in proportion
to our population we think more extensive than
in any other County in the State. Who Will say
then that it is not an important and responsible
position for newspaper to occupy, in conttibu-
ting the means and aiding by its intelligence and
well directed efforts in bringing about those heal
thy reforms and Developments which must tend
to prove benefit to all ?
Stree our come ction with the JOURNAL we have
the satisfaction of knowing that we have labored
zealously for the ntcrC SITS of the community, and
we have the satisfaction OF knowing also that our
efforts and influence have been justly appreciated
by the people of Trinity. 1t is pleasure even
to work for the interest Of people whose graft
tudo is pure and reciprocal. We are, and have
been of the belief that paper even as local as
our own, can be made an attractive and interest
ing source Of information to our citizens and
more particularly TO the mining community whose
interests are more prominent than any other.--
With each issue, then. shall We labor to increase
its interest and moral worth.
Our circulation is not alone confined to Trinity
County, but weekly increasing on the list OF At
lantic subscribers. We would say to those who
desire to subscribe for and send the Journal to
their friends OF relatives in the East, or in any
portion of the world, send in the names and ad-
dress of those to whom you wish the paper for
warded and they will be promptly mailed from
our office.
