J.. P. & c.. Z. SPEcK.
September 1st, 1878.
In taking charge Of the GAZETTE,
IT is proper that we shall say a few
words to those who have been, and
are to be, its readers. The paper
will be conducted mainly in the in
terest Of that section of country adj
jacent to the place of its publication.
The effort Of the publisher will be to
make it a welcome visitor to the
homes Of the people, by excluding
from its columns everything of an
improper character. In politics it
will not be neutral, but at proper
times will discuss State and Nation
al affairs without prejudice, and with
q desire to tell the truth, ''the whole
truth and nothing but the truth
The paper, so far as our ability and
experience warrants, will be a live
newspaper, and is not for sale to any
ring in Church or State, but will
keep its columns open to the people
for the discussion of matters of gen
eral interest, provided the articles
are sensibly written and. free from
abuse.
Believing, as we do, that East
Tennessee is as good a country as
any on the face of the globe, and
that Morristown is destined to be
place of considerable Importance,
we shall constantly labor to build up
this section, by inviting emigration,
by advising our people to stick to
the land of their birth, and by seek
ing to unite all the elements of our
population into one common broth
erhood. Being fully identified with
the country, we shall not cease to
work for its prosperity. VIII the
friends Of the GAZETTE help US?
Our faith is that they will. Conf
dent that our faith is we'll founded,
we cheeriIy weigh anchor, trusting
our voyage may be a long one, and
prove beneficial and satisfactory to
us and to the people we shall visit.
