variety Of our reading matter to give increased
space to our telegraphic news to give more atten-
ton and additional to local intelligence and
sate items and to do far better justice to our adver-
tisers whose favors have so often during the past
year been crowded into supplements If not crowded
out altogether by the pressure on!our columns. We
propose also, with the enlargement, to make new
arrangement of the matter in our columns, which
will greatly increase their value to advertisers.
