CLOSE OF VOLUME rHIRTEFH,
IN announcing the fourteenth
volume cfthe MARsHAL1 Cousrr RE
rCBLIAcs, the publishers take pleas
ure in expressing their thanks to tb,
public for their extended patronage
The indications Of popular favor
that have marked our connection
with the paper are accepted as iecog
nisions of our efforts to make the
REPrBLIcAN a live. enterprising, val
liable newspaper. IL has been the
endeavor OF the publishers to turn
the course Of the REPUBLICAN, away
from the flowerless and fruitless
realm of lethargy, into the bolder
and broader pathway of the pro.
gressive age in which we are living,
whose walks are crowded with radi.
ant thoughts and beauteous scenes
of the worlds industry and magnifi-
cent achievements.
The REPUBLIcAN, la politics, will
continue to support the political
principles of the republican party
as the only political party in the
the nation, with aims in harmony
with the universal progress of the
world In connection with such
support, and as necessary to its
growth which must ever depend
upon the increasing intelligence, in.
dustry and virtue of the people
the paper will discard all antedelu.
Wan issues, and in words of wisdom
wit, and beauty, constantly hold up
all that may tend to Improve, to re-
form, and to stimulate the citizens
Of Our town and county in all that
Is pure, enrolling and inspiring.
The paper will. therefore, be positive
in character and not negative.
We are aware Of the importance
OF having good, reliable family
paper in Marshall county that shall
fully represent the spirit of the age.
This Is necessary in behalf OF the
individual interest of the citizens and
the reputation of the county. To-
advance the interests of the county
at home and abroad is the aim ell
the REPUBLICAN. AS this is ably
and fsarlessly done the more will
manufactures, education, and vir-
tue and commerce increase. Il is |
the duty of every citizen to contrib
ute to the public good of the CON- |
munity in which he lives, and with
your assistance, we intend to make |
this paper the representative of the
interests Of Marshall county.
We prefer to let our zeal bespeak |
our merit-yet We can assure the |
public that we shall endt avor to |
have every important item of news,
from every part of the world, pre-
sented to our readers-and espec>
tally all matters OF local interest |
We shall alse give much reading off
a varied and useful and sprightly |
character. We believe that there is |
also place where the laugh" comes
in for good, genial, and social enjoy
ment and Improvement, and shall
not fail to notice such an occasion.
We do not propose to be partizan, in |
any offensive sense of the word, or
the exponent of the narrow and self |
ish views Of any "clique" whatever.
The REPUBlrcN will not play the
the part of the Raven and deliver
the never varying croak OF "oniy |
this and nothing more"
In the pathway Of our editorial
thew year." upon which we now en-
ter, We ask the continued and in-
creased patronage of the public, and
as that patronage mingles sunlight
with our days of labor, and song,
and bloom and floral wreathes, we
shall still add new features Of great
value to the REPUBLICAN that will
give new and ever unfolding interest
to its columns. We greet you with
. smile, and begin anew,
"Another volume Of our hook
The leaflets pure and white"
