capital, but where mail facilities will
only permit them to receive it once II
week, or who, in the present sad and
depleted state of our section aud
State, are unable to subscribe for a
daily journal. There are, besides
these, many persons having friends
Or relatives in other States Of the
Union, who would desire to have
them enjoy weekly communication
with Columbia, and the Cleaner af-
fords all excellent medium for that
purpose.
It is our intention to render the
Cleaner, as it's subtitle indicates, GA
Home Companion. It will collect
and place in compact form all the
important news of tho week; the
latest market reports; the principal
local events which might interest dis
tant subscribers; and such matters as
we deem of interest to the farmer and
planter. Besides this, q portion of
its columns will be devoted to itera
ture-original and selected-tales,
essays and poetry-in short, no effort
will be spared to make it welcome
weekly visitor, we hope, to many
hundreds of homes and firesides in
this State and elsewhere.
The newspaper has become neces-
sity to every family circle. 1t is the
bearer of news from all parts of the
world, and contains more of that
commodity within its pages than if
the readers had correspondent in
every city in the country or in every
capital in Europe. But, besides this,
when properly conducted, it refnes
the taste, and is an invaluable instru-
mentality in the education of the
younger members of the family.
Rarely, indeed, will you find ignorant
children where good newspaper is
read daily or weekly. This consider
alton alone should induce every head
of a family to subscribe for paper.
: To be such messenger, such o
news correspondent, and such a
teacher, will be the object of the
Gleane''-such we design to be its
mission. In size, in Typography. in
the quality of its paper, and, as far
as our ability goes, in the character of
its contents, it will be journal that
will compare favorably with most of
weekly papers in the country. In
imparting correct intelligence; in its
political tone; in the selection of its
literary matter, we feel well assured
that it will be more valuable, useful
and acceptable journal to the class of
readers to whom it addresses itself,
than the larger portion of the So
called literary papers published in
other sections of the country.
Since the destruction of Columbia
and our railroads, year ago, we
know that there are hundreds living
within the range Of post Offices not
on the main lines of travel, who have
been deprived of the advantage a
newspaper always confers upon its
readers. To such the Glea,,e, will
be a welcome visitor Since that dis
astrous night in February, 1865, the
proprietor of the Phgnir and the
Cleaner has used every exertion, and
spared neither labor, nor expense,
nor Stunned any sacrifice of time or
trouble, under the most discouraging
circumstances, in order to repair the
damage and supply the want which
that night inflicted and created, so
far as our people we're concerned.
He has succeeded to certain extent;
the Phonir-the only daily publish
ed in the State outside of Charles
ton-now compares favorably with
any other, and he feels justified,
IN this new effort to supply the
wants of and accommodate so many
in other sections Of the State, in So
letting for the Cleaner large sub
scription list, and the active CO.
operation of all who read these lines
IN promoting it's success.
