Dur Enhancement,

Dur Enlargement.
hen we entered, short time ago, upon on
Office Of Editor and Publisher Of this Journal, ",
promised 70 accomplish, as far as lay in our mex
pefienced power, whatever should be for the in
terests Of our patrons as connected with thi
paper, and whatever might be done for the ad
! vancement and increased influence of the papel
itself. We had then in view, among other al
rangements, that which we to-day accomplish, o.
adding to, and enlarging the former size Of tn
ENQUIRER, as means Of promoting its own ad
mncement and the interests of the county II
whichit is located.
We promised then to endeavor to sustain til
reputation as County Newspaper, and to make
it what it should be to WELD that influence and
reflect those opinions and sentiments that Q
county paper, which has the sympathy and con.
fdence of it's readers, should seek for and sus-
tain.
70 accomplish this object we found it neces-
cessary to amplify at once the reading matter,
and find more space for our advertisers; and
with this issue we present our patrons with the
result of our labor and hope it may be as salts
factory to them as it is pleasing and gratifying
to us.
That this enlargement Of our paper subjects us
to considerable outlay ofmoney, and an increas-
ed responsibility for work, will be at once evi-
dent but we shall advance it cheerfully and will
d if it snall be found to conduce to the
welfare and prosperity Of our old and illustrious
county, we shall be more than repaid.
The collection of general county news and
items, we shall continue to make prominent
feature of the ENQUIRER, since we observe it is
one of interest to all, and has already received
the commentator of our brother editors, some
of whom compliment us in the highest manner
by appropriating verbatim these little items. but
forgetting or deeming it unnecessary to mention

To our office, we have likewise added new
and powerful -press-Gordons patent-bv
which we shall be able to execute promntlv and
neatly all orders that may be given us, and with
as great rapidity and little expense as any lob

Finally, at the advice and consent Of manv If
our friends and patrons, we have concluded to
raise the price per annum of the ENQUIRER to
sl.25-which will hardly meet the expenses of
our new press and type, and of the enlarged pa-
per. That this small increase of twenty-five cents
ayear will be scarcely noticed by our patrons, in
view of the increased return they procure for
their money, we feel confident and convinc-
ed. Our terms to village and single mail SUBJ
scribers will remain the same.
Thus having said more about ourselves" than
we intended, and perhaps more than we ought,
we leave the moral with our friends and nat

sour hearty and unselfsh congratulations.
