OUR PAPER FOR 1876.

] NAhAS-NaNA-A@ w WV w. @N'''
we draw near to the end of the old
year and are about to enter upon a
new one, we take this occasion of
addressing q few words to our
patrons. We already reach larger
number of readers with our two edi.
tions, daily and weekly, than any
other paper published within a radius
of two hundred and fifty miles of
Knoxville, or between here and
Richmond on the East, here and At
lanta on the South, here and Nash
vile on the West or between here
and Louisville and Cincinnati on the
North, but if We can succeed in
doubling our list during the year
1876, our facilities for doing good
will be correspondingly increased,
and our ability for improvement will
he very much enhanced. There is
no reason why our circulation should
not only be doubled. but trebled and
even quadrupled.
In the first place, our weekly paper
is larger and contains q great deal
more reading matter than any other
paper published in this section, and
will compare favorably with any pub
ished in the country. We give more
choice reading matter for less money
than can be obtained from almost
any other source.
The year 1876 will be All inter
esting event in the history of this
country. This year we celebrate the
one hundredthanniversary of our ma
tional birth. The grand feature OF
this is the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia. But there will be
demonstrations of an unusual char.
acter all over the country. We pro
pose to devote large share of our
ample space to full and accurate re.
ports of these things, and this feature
alone will be worth more than three
times the price Of our paper.
In addition to this, the country
during the year 1876 will be called
upon to elect a President and Vice.
President of the United States. In
our own State we will elect a Govern.
or, Representatives to Congress and
| Representatives to the State Legisla.
ture. The contest bids fair to prove
a most exciting one. If you want tc
keep posted in the progress of this
contest you have only to read our
daily or weekly paper.
/ Congress is in session now, and for
the first time il q great many years
the House is Democratic. This cir
cumstance gives more than ordinary
/ interest to the action of this body
The CHRONICLE and WING AMI
Chronicle will give faithful report:
of all that is done.
A little exertion on the part of oui
friends we are satisfied will increase
our already large circulation to ;
much larger one. We ought to hav,
