Weare under the necessity ofissuing
a half sheet this week, on account of an
accident to our foreman, by reason of
which he loses the use Of his right hand
for a week or more. We have hereto
fore tried to get help when we were in
a tight place, but have met with such
uniform failures in that particular,
that we concluded that we would run
the machine for one week without any
additional help. We regret the neces-
sity Of putting out half sheet at this
particular time, as it is now getting
along towards the Winter Holidays, at
which time, we, with all other well
regulated offices, miss an issue, aud
take q week in which to see little of

number of advertisements, and give
about one half the usual amount ol
reading matter, but we will make up
to our advertisers the loss, and beg
our readers to put themselves in oul

our one instance of shortcoming il
