" UABLE REMIUM S
NEW AND GOOD BOOKS.


! Having for four years past labored to improve
and enlarge the INQUIRER aud to so ill it 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 a county paper what it ought to be. Though
| the INQUIRER has larger number Of subscribers
than any other paper in the county. it still has
bat little more than half what it ought to have to
! justify us in the outlay necessary to keep it up
/ to the standard at which we have steadily aimed.
| The IyquIRER will continue to be the exponent
and advocate of thorough going Republicanism,
and Of retrenehment, economy and reform in the
administration Of tie affairs Of county, state and
nation. 1t win also, usual, contain a 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
as there will be a aPportionment made at the
next Session Of the Legislature. With such an
important campaign before us, it is highly desra-
bic to put the INQUIaER in the hands of every
Republican in the county. We therefore call up
on our friends to help us pat it at once into the
hands Of as many of our people possible As

ded to offer the following desirable
