ular attention will be directed. Important Con-
gressional and Legislative matters will be fur

reliable form; and votes and opinions on impor-
tant and leading measures will be always publish
ed; so that our paper will form complete record
of current political events.
The Local interests, news and business OF CO.
lumbla County will receive special attention :;
and they will cndcavor to make the paper Il ne
ccssity to the farmer, mechanic and aborug man,
upon whom at last all business interests depend.
The fireside and family circle will bo diligently
considered in making up tho paper. No advcr-
tlscmcnts of an improper character will ever, un-
der any prctcxt, he admitted into its columns.
