The Cincinnati Weekly Press
Having passed into new hands, its present
conductors have determined to reduce its
subscription price to such rate, to club
that the poorest person in the land need no
be without paper.
The PRESS shall not be surpassed by any
Weekly Journal in the West, either in its
News or Literary Department. We are
determined that it shall be faithful epitome
of the current events of the day, and that
what is not found in its columns will scarce
be worth looking for. Of course, we do not
expect TO give elaborate articles on each
event of the day, but the reader may look
for succint and intelligent account of every
transpiring event.
Particular attention will be given to a
faithful record of the absorbing topic Of
the day,
