The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1869-07-27

The demands Of our advertising pat
rons have rendered an enlargement Of our
paper necessary. and we, to-day, present
our readers specimen of the enlarged
edition with partial NEW DRESS, which
we shall make entire rs soon as we are
able to effect the necessary changes in the
advertisements. This required more time
than we were able, this week, to give.
Our new type, (which we think is superior,
is from the New England Type Foundry,
Chandler, Cousens, d Co., Of Boston.
We have been to considerable expense in
overhauing and repairing our machinery,
purchasing new type, replcnlshing our Job
office, and otherwise endeavoring to put
our Office in condition to do the best work
with the greatest facility; and we trust
that nothing is wanting to accomplish this
desideratum. Thanking our friends for
their courtesy, their torbearance and their
liberal patronage in the past we further
solicit their favorable consideration and
ask for their continued patronage. We
hope and expect to do better by them than
ever before. 1t is comfortable consid-
Grafton to us, that our subscription list has
without solicitation, increased constantly
during the four years Of our connection
with the Office although the mechanical
execution of the papcr,ha not at all times
been what we could have wished.
1t is our purpose, in the future rs in
the past, to advocate moral reform and
measures that will conducc to the general
good of the universal brotherhood ofman
SO far as is consistent with this idea, our
aim will be to advance our local interests.
With this end in view,we earnestly solicit
from the farmer. information based on the
results of his experience; from the
mechanic such hints obtained from his
practical observations as may be useful to
all fellow members of the craft and others
and from the merchant and professional
man such relations of experience and oh
seryation as they shall judge to be of
practical value to the people.
The especial and distinctive sphere OF
the local paper is to be the medium Of
communication for the people Of the To-
cality. Hence, we shall recognize the
right Of the people who sustain us,t make
any proper announcement through our
columns, whether Of business, or politics,
or religion whether in accord with our
own individual ideas or not we,of course,
being Judge ofthe propriety or improperly
of such communications
While we are in active sympathy with
the great and noble principles Of the Re-
publican party and shall, in all proper
ways, still labor for its success in endea-
voring to accomplish proper ends,we shall
strive to rise above mere partisan con-
siderations and found our criticisms and
our concentrations on the broader plat
form Of right and justice; regarding pub
lie men and public measures at all times
as legitimate subjects of comment.
We especially desire our friends through
the county, to assist us in making an ac-
ceptable and valuable local paper, by
furnishing us with items Of local news
The facts are all we ask. We shall glad.
ly undertake the labor of putting them
together. We have no fears that We
shall not be sustained by the people. To-
cal pride and common interest are suih.
cient guarantees. But We have more
than that. The evidences of prosperity
and thrift, the multiplication of bushes,
enterprises and the indications of rapiC
growth all about Us, demand an increase
of facilities for communication. Such We
now offer to the public
