The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1870-03-15
FORTiETH VOLUME!

This No. of the Palladium is the commences
men, of a new volume. Just two thousand
and twenty seven weeks have come and gone,
since the Palladium was first commenced. Its
ownership has had but few changes, the pres
ent owners Holloway & Davis,) having been
in possession of the establishment for thirty>
four out OF the forty years of existence.
During the six years prior to 1886 (the time
that II & d took charge,) there were four
changes in proprietorship: Thomas j. Larsh;
D. P. Holloway; Finley s Holloway. and then
John Finley.
For thirty four years, many old familiar
faces have looked upon US and the hearty greet
ings, given us by them are treasured with CRATE
full feelings. Sad memories, too, crowd upon
US when looking over our subscription list, the
names of many meet our eye, who have ''seen
the last of EARTH"
Our experience as publishers. enables US to
endorse the following truthful remarks from
the journal of Commerce:
so long as paper pursues a just, honorable
and udcious course, meeting the wants of its
customers in all most respects. the ties Of
friendship between the subscribers and the pa
per are as hard to break by any outside third
party as the links which bind old friends in
business or social life. Occasional defects and
e rrors, if such there be, in newspaper, are
overlooked by those who have become attached
thr ough its daily persual for years. They
may sometimes become dissatisfied with i. on
account OIL something which has slipped into
its columns, and may stop taking it; but the
oh of che
office for few weeks becomes an insupportable
depr ivation, and they hasten to take it again,
and possibly apologize for having stopped it.
This we believe to be common experience in
the history Of all established newspapers. No
friendship on earth is more constant than
that contracted by the readers for journal
which makes an honest and earnest effort to
merit his continued support
We have again determined TO go-ahead for
another year, and we hope our old subscribers
| will bear US company for the voyage; that our
/ list will receive an increase Of names, and ina
ternal aid, - sufKcien will be given that will
enable US to go succe ssfully through the rough
| seas we may have to encounter.
rs We had hoped. by the commencement of
this volume; to give our old vessel an entire
new rigging. and renovate it thoroughly; but
we cannot yet quite grasp the means; but vii |
do so very shortly. we still expect. In the
mean time. the best of every thing for the
/ comfort and welfare of our passengers will be
| slowed on board-if they do not thrive on the
mental food we shall cater for them, it shall
not be for the lack of earnest and untirng effort
! on our part to furnish that which we believe
to be who! esorne, nourishing and pleasant to the
taste.
It is not necessary, at this late date, for US
10 define our political position. Every body
| and his wife. knows that the Palladium sup>
ports Rep ublican men and measures, and has
been alw ay CONSTANT with its political pros
LESSONS. It's past course is an index for the
future. & @
