Croa,i, nnIarged and Improved.

Beginning with our first issue in
January next, we will publish the
CHRONICLE in an enlarged form and
with considerable improvements, both
in the dress Of the paper and its read
ing matter. We purpose to make it a
family newspaper Of the greatest inter-
Get and highest character. 1t will be
printed on an improved power press,
entirely new and especially suited to
our business. Much Of our type will
DO new, and the rest nearly so, thus
securing well printed, lcgible sheet.
IA to the reading matter, every effort
will be made to fully satisfy the tastes
aud demands Of our patrons. Full re-
ports of passing events, reports and
roviews ofthe markets, and thorough
discussion of the material interests OF
our country, will each occupy more
space, and receive greater attention
than hitherto.
But while We promise richer treat
for our readers in the future, We hope
We shall be pardoned some feelings of
satisfaction and pride, in view Of the
past success and prosperity Of the
CHRONICLE. It may be stated with
certainty that this is one Of the oldest,
il not the oldest newspaper, in Tennes-
zee. We are safe in saying that its
age ID not far from a half century, at
least. There is no doubt of the exis-
tonce Of the CHRONICLE forty three
years ago, and it is reported, that
there is now extant copy Of it pub
lishcd in 1917, fifty five years ago. Aud
during all these long years it has en-
.ioycd the confidence Of highly intel
ligcnt and cultivated community. But
VIC prefer to let others speak its praise.
And We trust that journal which has
recorded so manyimprovements in the
last fifty years, the introduction Of
railroads, telcgraphs, and all our mod
orn machinery, may, by the comtom-
plated enlargement, show uponits own
face decided progress in the right d.
rection. f.-,Ftts. I.r..G
