Y ALUABLE PREMIUMS
NEW AND coon BOOKS.

Having for four years past labOred to improve
and enlarge the ISQuIRER aud to so fill 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 a sufficient number Of subscribers
to pay the expenses necessarily incurred in max
ing county paper what it ought to be- Though
the ISoUIRER has a larger number Of subscribers
than any other paper in the county, it still has
but little more than half what it ought to have 10
justify US in the outlay necessary to keep it up
to the standard at which we have steadily aimed.
The ISQumER viii continue to be the exponent
and advocate of thorough going Republieanism,
and Of retrenehment economy and reform in the
administration Of the affairs Of county, state and
nation. 1t will also, as usual, contain larger
amount Of late news and carefully selected gener-
al reading matter than any other paper in this
Congressional District
An important political campaign is just about
to begin, involving the election of a Governor,
Supreme Judge, State Senator, Member of the
Legislature, and full county ticket. The State
and District tickets are Of the highest Importance

next Session Of the Legislature. With such an
important campaign before u.s. it is highly desira-
bic to put the INouIRER in the hands Of every
Republican in the county. We therefore call up
on our friends to help US put it at once into the
hands Of as many Of our people as possible. As
