Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1870-09-08

We have received many encour.
aging letters from different parts of thi,
and adjoining counties with ex.
pressions of their qualification of the
establishment of Republican paper in
this county and promising to aid us in
every way possible so as to make the en-.
terprise a remunerative success. We
believe that every free thinking voter
should read both sides, if he is able to
take two papers, but if not, we advise
him to take the REPUBLICAN as it will
be made the most acceptable family
paper in this part of the State.
