aud enlarge the TsoulREH and to 30 GIL il with
the latest news that our people would have little
or no need Of any other paper, We have found that
one Of the chief difficulties in our way has been
that Of getting sufficient number Of subscribers
to pay the expenses necessarily incurred in max
ing county paper wha, it ought to be. Though
the IEquIHER has larger number Of subscribers
than any other paper in the county, it stil has
but little more than half what It ought to have 10
justify as in the outlay necessary to keep it Up
to the standard at which we have steadily aimed

and advocate Of a thorough going RepuhlieaHism,
and Of retrenchment, economy and reform IN the
administration Of the affairs Of county, state and
nation. 1t win also, as usual, contain a larger
amount Of late news and carefully selected gener-
al reading matter than any gthcr paper in this
Congressional District.
