Dallas herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1849-1873, 1868-01-18

BsS" We have received the first number
| (No. 7. Vol. p of the Mckinney Enquirer,
published under the proprietorship of our
friend, Jno. II. Bingham. Mr.. Bingham is
the publisher, while r. DeArmand, ESQ.,,
still has charge of the editorial department.
In assuming charge of the paper, the new
! publisher has very appropriate address
to its patrons, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
at is with q consciousness Of q want of
many necessary qualifications to discharge
the duties incumbent upon me; that enter
upon this new field Of enterprise; but, hav-
ing reached the threshold, | shall endeavor
to push boldly forward "To will is to do"
shall be my motto and it is 10 the patrons
of .hs Enquirer, its friends and supporters
that look for encouragement in the ardu-
GUS task before me. To those appeal for
helping words and friendly smiles, as we'll
as for material aid, in my daily labors;
such assurances are doubly dear to the
stranger who now casts his lot with yoL,
from the fact that he feels alone and need
fu! offriendly advice and comforting words"
"
dam neither a neutral nor mongrel in
poli,ics-a plain Conservative-solid white,
without spot or faint is ''my style" The
end and object of all civilized governments
being the protection Of the person and
property of its citizens, this paper shall ad-
vocate the grand principles of the Conser-
vative party, eschewing the innovations,
and dogmas of modern dem agogues as well
IL o Il II. Iaa
A straightforward adherence to the laws
and the constitution and high respect for
the powers that be, shall mark its course.
| shall be no GROWER or grumbler, for when
n people are protected in person, property
and the pursuit of happiness, it would be
in bad taste to complain. Nor shall be
nlamorous for TOO much liberty, since that
is so apt to degenerate into license.
ave desire to cultivate friendly relations
with all men-to live honorably, deal fairly
and render a loyal support to the govern
ment. This county SO long distinguished
for the virtue, intelligence and refinement
of its people, is now my home, and my in
terests identified with that of her people,
hope to see her rank the first in impor-
lance in the State, her pleasant valleys and
rich prairies threaded by railroads, with
fourishing villages where now stands the
solitary farmhouse 1t requires no pro-
phetic ken to picture the future of Collin
County, and when she shall be blessed
with all these charms, we trust that then
the Enquirer will not be the least Of them,
and will be an institution worthy Of con-
tinued support.
"Last, but not least in Importance 10 me
is my fixed determination, while | shall do
all within my power to promote the interest
Of this county and this section of the State,
to do AL can for myself. The acquisition
of property, is said, nowadays, to be q
test of mans capacity for civilization and
tho virtues-I hope to possess it in mod
crate degree-will cultivate it assiduously,
and respectfully call upon the good people
of Collin and the surrounding counties to
send in their subscriptions and advertise
ments freely. We cannot impress upon
our friends too forcibly that subscriptions
and advertisements not only help 10 keep a
paper alive, but its editor, proprietor and
printers-so we mean exactly what we
should have said, that money is n very good
thing to have about printing office, and |
have learned to think it absolutely essen
tial."
Success 10 you John; ifyou gain as many
friends in your new home, as you have left
behind in the old, you will not want for
in your new enterprise.
