1912. 1874.
With the beginning of the New
Year the WHIG AND TRIBUNE en-
tors upon its thirty-second year
1t may be justly denominated one
of the institutions OF the State, an
old landmark, which despite the
many mishaps of "lood and field, !"
still lives in its original vigor, and
is destined to hold on its way to a
yet ripper age.
The year 1873 bore with unusual
severity upon all nowspapers.-
There was a lull in politics, and a
consequent absence of that excite
ment which is the fuel to political
flames, and a source of revenue to
the printers. The panic fell like 4
plague upon all, and our strongest
men covered bcreath the CONNER
cial storm. This office, however,
in the face of these trials, was liter
ally swept OFF by the great fire Of
July last, and we had to begin anew
under circumstances calculated to
appall, ifnot overwhelm US. The
wonder is that we did not totally
suspend, and cease altogether the
publication Of our paper, but our
friends urged US to go on;
AID WAS PROMISED
and given, and our patrons only
multiplied in direct proportion as
our calamities increased, and We
now announce to our friends every
where, that the WING AND TRIBUNE
OFFICE is INTACT,
and that its suspension, if ever, is
an event in the far off future. I'm
der its present management no such
misfortune need be anticipated.
OUR MOTTO FOR THE FUTURE
is briefly; Opposition to the usur-
patton OF federal power, a common
Constitution, administered in the
interest Of all the sections, and with
a preservation of those checks and
balances which constitute the bull
walks of our liberties; opposition to
rings, monopolies and roguos, both
in and out of Office; the develop
ment of our industrial wealth, the
fostering of system Of schools
which will bring, without undue
burdens upon any class, a fair edu-
cation TO al" and, indeed, every sal
utary measure conducive TO the
welfare of our county and State,
will be duly lauded in our columns.
Our arrangements for the future
are ample, and the progressive spir-
it of our columns shall receive no
detriment through neglect on the
one hand, nor on account of mig
gardly parsimOny on the other.-
New features will be added, and
NEW IMPROVEMENTS MADE,
which We cannot now dilate upon,
but which we are assured will be
gotten up for the benefit of our
friends and patrons, and without
additional expense to them.
We hope our friends will not for
get us in the different neighbor-
hoods of West Tennessee, but that
they will bestir themselves as of
yorc. This year is going to be a
olive" one in our annals. We shall
have an election for Governor, Con-
gressmen, members of the Legisla-
ture and county officers, and it is
thought the mystic oranges will
take lively hand in the contest
political complications are ripening
-conspiracies to deliver US over to
the radicals are being hatched,
strange bed-fellows will be found,
and old states may or may not be
mashed into pieces. 1t therefore
behooves every freeman to take
paper, to read the news, and to keep
posted. we furnish more reading
matter than any paper in the
State. Our local columns are re-
plete every week with home news.
Our financial column is edited by
as experienced and reliable bust
ness men as our city affords.
Our Terms are as follows:
One copy one year, 50 90
6 months, 1 90
An extra copy to getters up of
clubs.
Subscriptions may be sent US, at
our risk, by Post Office order, reg
istered letter or express. We can
not be responsible for moneys mail
ed in the usual way.
