Most important TO the success of this
paper has been the junior member OF the
firm, Mr.. j. J. Richardson, who refuses the
modest little salary of IS 900 year from a
New York City Daily. No man has ever
worked harder and accomplished moro as
the above will show.
1t is with these men that we frat embark
ed in the editorial reportorial and newspaper
business, and we can say TO all of our
brethren Of the press, do as they have done
reduce every office expense to the lowest
figure, make the income overmatch the
expenses, practice prudence economy, and
never cease your efforts, fear no work, and
ike results will follow. Their establishment
is now the pride of the city, and justly too,
for no paper has ever done more for q
