We continue to hear from the adjoining
counties numerous complaints about the lrreg-
ularity in the receipt Of the Gazette, through
the mails, by our subscribers. Sometimes the
paper comes three or four at time sometimes
week elapses before any are received-and
often copies never reach their destination
The injury is great to US, and it is source OF
annoyance to our subscribers. But we are
powerless in the premises. We can do moth
ing more than entrust the papers to the ten
der mercies of the mails and post Offices. But
surely there must be criminal neglect, careless
ness, or ignorance, somewhere, that the Post
Office Department ought to take notice Of.

Oct. 81. 1866;
Western Reserve chronicle. [volume] (Warren, Ohio) 1855-1921, 1866-11-07

The rebels have elected their ticket in
North Carolina, and the Warren Osnst
tuition exalts W. it and says it is ''over.
whelmingly agains: the disunion radicals.
The party in favor of the Union swept
everything before them
A paper that has the ~unblushing impu,
dence to utter so glaring a falsehood,
would not tell the truth aver if it suited
better than a lie. Had the Constitution
claimed the battles of Bull Run and Chan
eellorsvillle Union victories, and said the
disunionists had been defeated, it would
have spoken as much truth as when it
claims a rebel victory at the polls in
North Carolina, is a disunion defeat. 1t
is because there are men so miserably
mean in the North as to hatter traitors
and rebels and insult the true men of the
country, that the spirit of rebellion and
bitterness of treason is kept alive in the
hearts of the Southern people. Natural
lists say the copperhead acts the part of
purveyor to the rattlesnake. 1t is at least
true in politics.

Enlargement Of the Chronicle
Thirty-Six Columns!

We present the CHRONICLE in an en-
rged form, from t~hirty-two to thirty
columns, making nj of the largest
bunty papers in the State. The columns
Ave also been heightened one inch each,
Fording thirty-six inches more space,
bual 10 one and a half columns, which
ided to the four additional, gives a total
bcrease of five and one half columns. We
ave not done this for an opportunity to
cast a large paper, but because the sub
antial practical appreciation given by
be public of the value of the CHRONICLE,
5 a local newspaper and advertising me-
Eum, seemed to require that we should in
Fease u capacity to accommodate the
emands upon it.
We are sure the many warm friends Of
lC OlO w kSlEhN ShhONACLE
rill be glad to learn of its continued pros
Gritty, due in no small degree to the fact
nat for a half century it has been pub
she'd in and supported by n of the most
Intelligent and patriotic communities in
lie Union.
As long as it may be u fortune to have
g management of the CHRONICLE, We
all aim to keep it up to the times in those
that are properly ~cOmpOnents of a
ST class county paper. All we ask in the
ay of encouragement is that the CHRoN-
E may be as favorably dealt With in the
as during the past four years ofOur
injection with it.
II is our intention that improvements on
3 paper shall keep pace with any i~ncreas-
ability we may realize justifying it,
ping that it may be said of the CHRoNI-
E, as of pure wine, sit improves with
