SUBSCRIBE ron rHB CHRONICLE. Dur
Ing the long winter nights every family
needs something TO read, aud every family
should first read that which Is Of local in.
terest to them, and this can b, obtained
onlyin the County paper Tho CHRoNiCLE
contains every week, at least, three columns
more reading matter than any Of the Coun-
ty papers in Eastern Ohio, except the
Steubenville papers, and this, in the course
Of the year makes large amount Of mattor.
During the winter we intend to give, in ad.
dition to our ordinary miscellaneous and
local matter, a weekly synopsis of the pro.
ceedings of Congress and of the Ohio Leg.
islature. We shall also give special atten.
tion to commercial matters, giving brief
review Of tn e markets each week.
We ask the friends of the CHRONICLE 10
give it their influence. A little effsrt by
some active person at each PostofIice would
soon increase tho list of our subscribers 10
the Countyto double its present size. There
are at least fifteen hundred Union voters in
Belmont County who are able to and should
take the CHRONICLE whose names are not
on its list Come, friends, sustain your pa
per. If you expect 1t to be an efficient en-
gine In the political campaign, you must
sustain it, and encourage its editor by your
patronage. The organs of the Democrat
ic party" all over the country, arc making
appeals to their friends to sustain them and
extend their circulation so that they may
be efficient In the coming contests for the
su 'remacy of their party. This is the
common sense view of the matter, and we
say to the Union men of the County. if you
wish to make permanent Union County
OF Old Belmont" all you have to do is to
furnish its voters with the riglis kind of
reading matter. The regular, quiet visits of
the newspaper, with its columns filed with
well selected matter bearing upon the polt
lcal questions at issue between the parties
of the day, will do more to shape the opin-
lCls aud control the action of those who are
brought within the reach OF its Influence,
than can be accomplished in any other way.
Extend, therefore, the circulation of your
County paper and, instead offghtins cam.
paien for two Or three months proceeding the
election you will be working, efficiently too,
he year round, for the success of the party
md the triumph OF your principles. Sub.
scribe for the CHRONICLES we again say and
get your neighbor to do so also.
