ONE YEAR has passed away since
the OPINION came under the control
of the present publisher. Whether
the promises then made have been
kept, is for the reader to say. Ev-
cry week the paper has been sent
from the Office Friday morning in
the first mail, thus reaching most
subscribers before Saturday night.
The numerous correspondents in the
towns in this and Grafton County
have kept the readers well posted on
local affairs, while items of news
culled from exchanges have inform
ell them of important events which
have tranSpired in more distant sec
tons of the State and country.
From the experience of the past
year, the publisher believes that the
people Of Orange and adjoining
counties, desire and are willing to
support live home paper, and this,
too, without regard to political feel
ing. We can honestly say that the
Democrats have aided the paper in
all ways as readily and supported it
as heartily as have the Republicans,
not withstanding at times we kave
deemed it a duty to speak ont plain
~ against some of the acts of lead
ing Democrats. TO all who have
aided us in making the paper accep-
table to its many readers we return
thanks. We shall endeavor the
coming year to make the OPINION of
still greater interest to all who pat
rOniZe it. Our friends may aid us
much by sending to the office any
item of interest which may come to
their knowledge. If items are not
in shape when received they will be
made so before being published.
