Having for four years past labored to improve
and enlarge the EQrIegR aud to so ill it with
the latest news that our people would have Ii tie
or no need Of any other paper, we have found that
Que 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 what it ought to be. Though
the INQrlHER has a larger number Of subscribers
than any other paper in the county, it sti,l has
but li'ie more than half what it ought to have to
justify as iu the outlay necessary to keep it VI
to the standard at which we have steadily aimed.

and advocate Of thorough going Repuhicanism,
aud Of retrenehment, economy and reform in the
administration Of the affairs Of county, state and
natioa Il viii also, as usual, contain a larger
amount of late news and carefully selected gener-
81 reading matter than any other paper in this
Congressional District.

bic to put the IyQUIREe in the hands Of every
